Hi, first of all, I have to admit that I do not understand half of what is said in this thread. Things do seem more complicated than I thought and I do not know if I can contribute anything worth your time apart from the original question.
secondly I left the open manufacturing list in the CC:. I have no idea why it is there or what that list is about. I hope this was all right, I originally only wrote to blueobelisk-discuss. If I am in error, please point this out to me.

OK, I get the idea that the pov file needs to be parsed, converted to some other description and then exported to svg? Do you think this is easy? Or difficult? Regards, -- Dr. Michael T.
