svg2mod will not work for PCB if the image has polyg= ons which end up in the footprint, since they would get lost in subsequent = translation to a PCB footprint.

Inkscape2pcb will work for paths to PCB

Image2footprint will work for PCB

Pstoedit should "just work" for PCB..= .. But ymmv

It all boils= down to the question, does the artwork consist of filled polygons or line = art. If polygons, pstoedit is the only simple option for exporting to PCB, = but if line art, going via inkscape would be simplest for PCB.

Regards,

Erich
