(Get the code!)
The convert-to-dashes routine is, unfortunately, somewhat limited in scope. It will operate only on objects that are paths, not groups. In your diagram there are nested groups, so they are currently ignored. You will need to use the menu item Object->Ungroup to recover the original paths.
For example the following procedure can be used:
- select main object
- note that the bottom status line says "Group of 3 objects"
- use the menu item Object->Ungroup
- note that the bottom status line says "3 objects of type Path, Group"
- use the menu item Object->Ungroup
- note that the bottom status line says "5 objects of type Path, Group"
- use the menu item Object->Ungroup
- note that the bottom status line says "5 objects of type Path"
- now that the Groups are gone, apply Extensions->Modify Path->Convert to Dashes
- at this point you will be able to tell that the routine has worked by selecting individual dashed lines and confirming that they consist of many nodes instead of just 2 as normal.
The resulting dxf file is attached, showing the dashed lines.
