That's good information. A couple years ago I directly used inkscape drawings (after "vacuuming" the .svg), and things didn't go well at all. I don't remember the specfics. I'll try it again. The less versions of the same diagram, the better. I really hate having a .svg and a .pdf and having to remember they're really the same and the .svg is the source.
