"Inkscape .svg path import internal error"

[tkbd]

Cliff,
I using a way to avoid the "wings3d import-error" by creating a SVG data well in Inkscape(v0.48.2 ), also I have use OSX too.
If the following objects(Line,Shape,Text) are contained in your data under edit by Inkscape,cope with it before SVG saving.

There are the following methods(with Inkscape).

• A Line make by Path Tool : Should be Closed path.
• A Shape(for example a circle or a rectangle ) make by Shape Tool : Convert Outline path , Use Menu "Path> Object To Path"
• A Text object : Select object ..., and Menu "Path> Object to path" (but this outlined-object is not closed path yet ),so need it make closed path ,
  Next.... select the outlined-text-object and apply command, "Path> Union", at last "Path>Break apart" ( now it is changed to a closed path.)
