That shows up as pixelization in the image. In this case something in the conversion (which is outside of Fritzing I expect) is using a lower DPI (dots per inch) value to do the conversion. That conversion by definition causes pixelization, which will show up if zoomed in enough. bit mapped) so to display a vector image such as a svg or pdf they need to convert the image from vector to raster. Most modern computer displays are raster (i.e. The conversion is from vector (svg or pdf) to raster. Where is the conversion from bitmap to vector? Remember: shematic and PCB are IMHO a really waste implementation (for example: it’s a software created by Germans but use international wrong images for GND, VCC, resistors, connections and so on) and no one should use it.ĮasyEDA is much better, easy to learn and they implement correct images in very short time after I told them. so for me the green marks are ugly.Īnd what is the benefit? If it looks like a connection and someone rebuild the image it is a connection. I use fritzing only as a graphic tool for illustrating in a printed magazin - I can use any graphic tool but some functions are helpful.

We see a fair number of sketches from new users with this problem. The danger in that is that Fritzing will sometimes not make connections correctly (leaving the connection red as an indication of no connection) so you can have an image that appears correct but is missing expected connections. I still think that might work and would still like to know why I can not use the Layer → Import/Export → Save Vector Layer as SVG… method.I change the color for connections from green to gray because I did not like it and did not want to see it (wish: an option to disable this function) The advice I received from the Blender add-on for Import Images As Planes was to try using an SVG image instead of a PNG. I accept that this might not be necessary, but I have not done this before. I used a PNG because I only want to extrude the shape and wanted actual blank space (not background/white-space) outlining the shape. KRA hoping that would help the conversion. The original image is a PNG, but I have Saved As…. My problem is that this last part is greyed out and not an actual option.

I have gone to Layer → Impor/Export → Save Vector Layer as SVG… (so if the “best” answer is to use a different method, then tell me how to better accomplish that goal)

My intension is to extrude the shape in Blender. The image has only one layer and is a solid color. I have an image that I would like to convert to.
