This information is partially encoded in the viewbox attribute which is added to the SVG file when either of these procedures are followed. These procedures will each result in an SVG file that contains the necessary information to indicate the real physical size intended for the SVG file. Verify the “Units” are set to “mm” or “inches” in the “Custom Size” section of the “Page” Tab in the Document properties.Change the “Scale x:” value back to the original value and press enter.001 makes it easy to change it back in the next step.) (Increasing the value by a small number like. Change the value to another number and press enter.


Open the SVG file you want to use in Inkscape V.92 or newer.Verify the “Units” are set to “mm” or “inches” in the “Custom Size” section of the “Page” Tab in the Document properties.Format the page size as needed (usually done by selecting “File”-“Document Properties”-“Resize page to drawing or selection”).Select “File”-“Import” to import the SVG design you want to use.Open a new SVG file in Inkscape V.91 or newer.I am working toward making K40 Whisperer more flexible with respect to the file formats it will accept but until that task is completed here are a couple of procedures to make your SVG files work with K40 Whisperer. However, the information provided is sometimes incomplete. K40 Whisperer attempts to provide some guidance to assist in getting the SVG file into a format with the needed information. This error or an error indicating that the “Units not set in SVG File” is displayed when K40 Whisperer does not have enough information to conclusively determine the intended physical size of the design in the SVG file. If you are importing files from sources other than a recent version of Inkscape (v.91 or v.92) you will likely be confronted with an error indicating that the SVG scale cannot be determined (i.e. K40 Whisperer is a bit finicky about the SVG files that it will accept.
