Hi All,
So I'm trying to export a sketch into SVG so that I can laser cut it. No matter what I do, I keep getting the error "Export of this object type is not supported by the drawing module". As I understand it there are 2 SVG exports, Drawing and Flattened SVG and Flattened SVG is the one I want. So I select my sketch in the tree view, go File->Export and select "Flattened SVG" from the Filter dropdown menu. Regardless of whether Automatically select filename extension (.svg) is checked or not and regardless if I specify the filename with or without an extension (file or file.svg) I get the same problem even if I ensure "Flattened SVG" is selected from the Filter dropdown menu right before I click Save. My suspicion is that something is not working correctly in the save dialog that always try to do a Drawing SVG export since just specifying an SVG extension is ambiguous. I'm on FreeCad 0.17 64-bit running on Kubuntu 18.04. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!!

Re: Cannot export sketch to SVG
PLease retry with a current 0.18 version. I tested it, and flattened SVG works.

Re: Cannot export sketch to SVG
I have no issue either on 0.17.13541 or latest 0.18 development release.
Maybe it's a desktop issue? Mine is GNOME.

Re: Cannot export sketch to SVG
Seems to work fine off the 0.18 version of the daily PPA which has a different save dialog. Thanks!!!
