Re: Putting svg on pad
It cannot be padded or pocketed because it is full of nests and Tees etc.. These are not allowed since the SW cannot tell which should be solid or which should be void.
Re: Putting svg on pad
for a simple "button" like this, personally, i would do it all in part/draft...
the clue of why it does not work is in the video, all the shapes padded are filled faces.
so go path by path and do draft/upgrade, if it can make a face out of it - pad will work on that unit as it is, otherwise not
then you will have to decide what is going to be positive/negative faces and treat them accordingly
the ones that will not make a face, those you will have to modify so that they do...
in other words, a lot of grinding on a svg like this, and no real shortcuts available (well, apart from rolling your own logic in a script..., or paying someone else to grind away at it...)
btw are you looking for padding, or engraving?

Maybe you need a special feature, go into Macros_recipes and Code_snippets, Topological_data_scripting.

Looks like it's going to work, but I'm going to have to Do A Lot of weeding and Experimenting to get it right. (Another day, Today I have No Patience)
