Editable texts in SVG templates

[yorik]

Hmm interesting... It looks like proper XML rules ask that when you use a prefix, you define it first:
http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_namespaces.asp

Indeed inkscape defines its inkscape: prefix, at the beginning of inkscape-generated files, there is:

Code: Select all

<svg
   xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
   xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#"
   xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
   xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
   xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
   xmlns:sodipodi="http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net/DTD/sodipodi-0.dtd"
   xmlns:inkscape="http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape"

So we would just need to add: xmlns:freecad="http://some/url"

I'll setup a page on the wiki on the model of the inkscape page... *EDIT* Ah! the inkscape page doesn't exist we can do better...

*EDIT2* Done! the line to insert is:

Code: Select all

xmlns:freecad="http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php?title=Svg_Namespace"

Great and there is one more feature now, before if SVG template was edited in Inkscape and then saved:

- in your SVG templates, add freecad:editable="TextName" attributes to <text> entities, to mark them as editable

This was lost but now it persist if it's saved as Inkscape SVG and not Plain SVG. Without namespace URI this was lost if it was saved as Inkscape SVG too, but now it persists.

Great! I hadn't noticed that...

The sodipodi link is dead too. Actually, I don't understand why there are Sodipodi:prefix namespaces in Inkscape documents, that software has been dead for almost 8 years, they should had replaced them by Inkscape:prefix... (Sodipodi was the predecessor to Inkscape)

They keep the sodiposi name-space for back wards compatibility.

Hi triplus,

How about sharing your template (if you don't mind)?

The Drawing Templates wiki page could use some A4 templates!

(and some A and B too for people in North America, but I'm slowly working on it!)

My drawing templates are very specific and because of that i made two more simple/generic/standard ones for other to use in A4 Portrait and A3 Landscape sizes.

This are the rules i followed:

One pixel = one millimeter

Add proper "namespace URI" inside (at the beginning of) <svg> tag:

xmlns:freecad="http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/f ... _Namespace"

Add attributes to <text> entities, to mark them as editable:

freecad:editable="TextName"

Insert just before the last </svg> tag

<!-- DrawingContent -->

Important: If u edit drawing template in for example Inkscape save it as Inkscape SVG and not Plain SVG if u want all FreeCAD specific changes to persist!

Remove (rename file) the .zip extension from the SVG file. SVG file is not compressed i just can't upload it as .svg file.

[triplus]

I assumed 1px = 1mm rule should be used in this templates but i guess i was wrong the template should use mm by default! It does work but exported .SVG must always be resized in Inkscape for example to get correct output size (print).

I'm not able to open the zip files?

Remove the ".zip" suffix.
