	You need to export as Gerber and them use this: https://git.fablabkerala.in/midlaj/gerber2png/-/wikis/home

	that produces a not functioning svg
	
13:53:36 Von Adrián - Fab Lab León an Alle:
	Replying to "I figured out how to export SVG from kicad 9":
	But you need to check the resolution
	
13:53:56 Von Marius Araújo an Alle:
	Replying to "I figured out how to export SVG from kicad 9":
	Oh :/
	
13:55:00 Von henk an Alle:
	Replying to "I figured out how to export SVG from kicad 9":
	resolution is not workable
	Miriam:👆
	
13:55:17 Von Andri Sæmundsson - Fab Lab Reykjavik an Alle:
	You can also in pcb editor do File - Fabrication Output - Gerber and change format to SVG
	Marius Araújo, Pablo Fab Lab Leon, Adrián - Fab Lab León:👀
	
13:56:44 Von Aalto Fablab an Alle:
	or gerber to flatcam or coppercam
	Ricardo Marques:👆
	
13:57:21 Von Aalto Fablab an Alle:
	hisar lab has a new machine that has software that understands gerber well
	
13:57:32 Von Ricardo Marques an Alle:
	if it's a sizing issue it may be easier to add a module to mods to deal with it? vectors are vectors
	
13:57:35 Von Adrián - Fab Lab León an Alle:
	Replying to "hisar lab has a new machine that has software that...":
	And with mods?
	
13:57:42 Von saheen palayi an Alle:
	some issues :-
	mods converting the svg again to png and detecting edges . so its better we load png directly ?
	noticed the browser stuck if we load bigger PCB svg in to mods
	
13:57:47 Von Aalto Fablab an Alle:
	Replying to "hisar lab has a new machine that has software that...":
	nope
	Adrián - Fab Lab León:😭
	
13:58:09 Von Aalto Fablab an Alle:
	Replying to "hisar lab has a new machine that has software that...":
	but wasn't there a gerber to image module in mods?
