Description

The Curves PasteSVG tool pastes the SVG content of the clipboard into the 3D view.

Copy the desired SVG content (code) to the clipboard.
There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Press the PasteSVG button.
- Select the Misc. → PasteSVG option from the menu.
For each recognized svg element a separate object is created.

A sample file result:

1 rect -> 1 Rectangle object
1 circle -> 1 Circle object
5 path -> 6 Path objects (one path split in two at the second m command)
4 text -> 12 Text objects (the first of of each triplet contains the text position, the next contains the text string, and the last one ?)

Rectangle and Circle are filled and visible, Paths are visible but nothing is displayed for any Text object.
What is a use case for these objects?

These objects have no additional properties.
