Installation

​Outline to svg v2 could not be easier to install.

​Step 1. Download the zip file. (Do not unzip it the whole zip is the addon)

Step 2. Go into Blender and install it like any other addon.

-Important-

If you are looking for mm accuracy be sure you set up your blender file for mm precision here is a video explaining how: https://youtu.be/R-Vq2O-hvfo

How to use Outline To SVG

Step 1. Go to whatever view you would like to export an SVG from.

Step 2. Set where you want the export to go.

Step 3. Make sure you are in orthographic view if you want mm accuracy and blender setup for precision.

Step 4. Press Export SVG. (wait for a little, maybe a lot if you have a VERY complicated file)

Step 5. Enjoy!

Keep in mind that export form your viewport will give you a canvas as close to your outline as possible, and exporting from a camera view will give you a canvas/artboard the size of your camera view.
