Thanks Peter for your instructions above. Exactly what I needed.

To create new (NK-ROC) svg images starting from existing svg image... yes piggybacking on work done by other good people is so productive.
* open existing svg file in Inkscape
* apply ungroup function to disassemble the existing image in smaller drawing pieces (primitives)
Note: SVG primitives might be saved in an "NK-ROC parts svg library" for later reuse.

Hi Mircea,

The toolchain took some experimentation but we use the following.

1. Vector drawing done in Open Office Presentation (OO''s powerpoint).
2. Export to PDF
3. Import PDF into Inkscape to get to SVG
4. Save as SVG
5. Inside the NK doc system you can reference the SVG resource with its URI in a macro like this:

{svg}...SVG URI....{/svg}

Don''t try and save SVG from OO - they are not good.  Incidentally PDF into Inkscape to get to SVG is very high quality irrespective of the PDF generator.

Hope this helps,

Peter

What tool do you use to draw the nice NK architectural diagrams as found in the books of the NK documentation?
