    Hi everyone,

    I am having a problem where i will design a DXF design and save it, but when i go to reopen the file in inkscape 1.4 and break it apart so i can modify a things every shape is different lines. Like a circle or square for example will be say 5 different lines. What am i doing wrong? Is it when i save the file or when i open it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

    If the files are originally created in Inkscape, it is frequently advised to save designs as Inkscape SVG files, and use Save a copy as dxf, pdf, etc. for use in other programs.
