Sorry if this sounds like a rehash of https://inkscape.org/forums/questions/how-to-save-layers-separately/, but I tried inx-exportobjects v0.2 and it seems to insist on exporting all individual objects into separate files, even when I create a group. Is there a way to simply export the whole layer to one .svg file?
I'm working on drawing up the ground plan of a house, which I have in one layer, and in a separate layer I draw, in thick, differently coloured lines, an outline of the wallls, which I then want to export to a separate svg file. This I will import into FreeCAD and use as the base lines on which to construct walls and so on. I could of course join all the lines together to form a single object, but FreeCAD then draws the whole house as one wall of the same thickness and so on, which is not what I want. I have attached my drawing, such as it is, if you want to see - it originated as a PDF file from an architect, which I extracted into Inkscape, scaled up to real measures, then added extra bits and finally the outline in garish colours.
Maybe this sounds like a noob idea or I'm not understanding what you are trying to accomplish, but if you want an .svg file with one layer, why don't you just save a separate copy of the original file, and then in the new file just delete all the layers except for the one you want?

Well, not as noob as me, though :-) Good idea - thanks!
Not sure where I got this extension, but IIRC it worked.
