New to the forum but a pretty long time user of Freecad. I'm trying to export a drawing as SVG but get the error "Can't determine mesh format from file name: '/home/dan/test.svg'" I've tried just creating a very simple drawing with a circle and a square, selecting export and selecting flattened SVG and that brings the error message up. Am I missing something? I tried adjusting the export settings for SVG in preferences but still get the same result.

Re: error exporting as SVG
Hi and finally welcome to the forum!
Your version is rather old, and the message sounds as if some STL is exported .
Please retry with a current 0.19 or even 0.20, because that's where such an error should be verified anyway.
