I am using stroke-dasharrays inside line tags in my SVG file for my cutting plotter to create fold lines.

However, if I use stroke-dashoffset to change where the strokes begin, the plotter can not read the file properly (The file preview is a mess of lines and when cutting it, it just ignores the fold lines).

Are there alternatives for stroke-dasharrays?

CodePudding user response：

One solution which may be of use is to run your SVG through Inkscape (free SVG editor).

It includes an extension that can convert a dashed line to a path consisting of a subpath for each dash segment.

• Load the SVG into Inkscape
• Adjust the dashoffset now if you haven't already ("Fill and Stroke" panel -> "Stroke style")
• Select the dashed line
• Select `Extensions -> Modify Path -> Convert to Dashes.
• Save the file.

Now your line has no dash pattern and your plotter software should be happy. Hopefully.
