Wrong size is easily addressed by always encompassing the entire drawing with a rectangle of known size - select everything and scale as needed on open/import. The center line is most likely missing because it’s an open path - expand the stroke to a closed path which can be cut as a pocket.

some programs don’t provide a size, specifying 100% for dimensions - please edit them to specify dimensions (SVG is just XML) or open in Inkscape and resave.

complex structures can interfere with import - ungroup down to just paths, joining them all into a composite path will help with the above.

some files will work more reliably when winding direction is correct (outermost path is counterclockwise, next is clockwise and alternate as needed).

no overlapping or intersecting geometry (if possible - overlapping geometry is often discarded).

so this is really about file prep before starting in CC. I just need to get the design to show in CC - once there, my brother can create the routing paths, etc. If there’s a link to another forum discussion where this is already listed, send it my way - I couldn’t find anything that was a simple step by step process. I don’t understand enough to know where to start, so I’m hoping someone has the complete steps for me to take a fresh design from Inkscape and convert it correctly. I don’t know much about how all of this works, and I don’t see any info about this in the CC documentation (just a mention that it can import. I’m sure there’s another step in there I’m missing. svg - but when I open it in CC, it’s the wrong size, and there is a center line missing. I selected the objects and selected Path>Object to Path, and saved as.

I tried googling the issue: I’ve got it in View>Outline Mode. svg, but I can’t seem to get the entirety of the design to show in Carbide Create when I open it. I’ve got a draft of a sign in Inkscape that I’ve converted to. I realize this is probably like asking someone how to make something bold in a Word document - but here goes: I’m a designer, and I’ve created some basic signage that my brother will be doing the routing on, using his router/Carbide Create. Hello - very newbie here, so I apologize for the simplicity of this question.
