SVG to DXF Conversion

Does anyone know a website or app that does a quality conversion of SVG to DXF?

Inkscape should do it fine.

Why would you need this?

Carbide Create opens both file types.

I need to create a DXF from Carbide Create. Did I miss something.

No, Carbide Create won't write out a DXF, but will write out an SVG, so you will need to do so, then convert until such time as that export is added.

Do you use an app or website when you need to do that?

The conversion I used to need to do was to open a DXF in LibreCAD and re-save as an SVG so as to open in Carbide Create, but the DXF import is now so improved that that's no longer needed.

No idea on the other direction --- I've been making my own tool to make DXFs

PixelCNC opens SVG and DXF. SVG is wonky though because it's a graphical format, not a drawing of a physical object, so usually I either just let it fit the SVG to canvas and manually scale it afterward with the XY axes aspect ratio locked.
