GSD to SVG

This file conversion is a little more labor intensive. But if you just have to have a file that is only in GSD this is how you do it.

You will need to Robomaster software program:

Here is a link to the program(Free and Legal)

You will also need CutePDF program to create a PDF of your GSD:

You will also need Inkscape

Inkscape

1-Open your GSD file with Robomaster program

2-If all lines are not black go to the line settings(at the bottom-little pencil with 2 lines at the bottom)click that and select modify-select black-click ok and ok again.

3- Object selected-Click output settings-(7th icon from the top left)

4-On the printer setting choose CutePDF- and check Print cut lines.

5-Output to printer-Box pops up-copies is 1, page range is ALL.

6-Save PDF file to a folder.

7-Close Robomaster.

8-Open Inkscape- Find your PDF file. Open it-PDF import settings box pops up,just click OK. (this takes alot of resources so I get alot of program not responding,so I just click 2 times on the OK button until I see the wheels turning ,so to speak).

9-Go to Edit-Select all-Then Edit-Make bitmap copy.

10-Go to View-Outline Mode(a red x will appear,thats Ok)

11-Make sure Everthing is still selected.

12-Go to Path-Trace Bitmap-A box will pop up-Under the mode tab make sure brightness cutoff is selected- Click the update button(you should see your traced image in the preview. If not adjust the threshold up (to the right of the brightness cutoff selection) and hit update again, keep adjusting the threshold until you do see a preview.

13-Click OK and close the preview box.

14-Go to your image- hover over it until you see the 4 arrows and move the newly traced image to the side- Select the image with the red X and delete that.

15- Now save your file as a SVG. Thats it!!
