Re: [Kicad-developers] How do I turn one of our .svg icons into a .cpp file?

[Seth Hillbrand]

In case this thread comes up in a search in the future, my commandline for

/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/bin/inkscape
--export-area-snap -e
${input}.png -f ${output}.svg -z

Inkscape version 0.48.5
