WHY CAN'T I OPEN MY TEMPLATE(FROM ROBO SOFTWARE) IN INKSCAPE. I AM TRYING TO MAKE A MATT! ONLY BEEN ON FOR ABOUT 3HOURS MY HOUSE IS LIKE A TIP AND I'M GOING CROSS EYED

did you save it as a DXF file - this is the format you need to save it in from Inkscape

Then in the Robo software you need to go to File > Load DFX

if it still doesn't load then you need to make sure that you have followed EVERY step in the instructions you have followed especaily the Path > Object to path

I don't think you can open from robo to inkscape. Of course I could be wrong. It has to be SVG format.

sorry read your original post wrong, it's all that pink and I'm so used to it being the other way around

You would need to take a screen shot of your GSD file, load that graphic file into Inkscape (ie JPEG) and then trace it there
