New page

* Download & install https://github.com/martymcguire/inkscape-openscad-poly
* Draw something
* Convert all text to paths (select text, ''Path->Object'' to path)
* Join the paths together (''Edit->Select All'', ''Path->Union'' (or ''Combine''? not sure now ...))
* (mirror?)
* ''Save a Copy...'', use ''OpenSCAD Polygons'' format
* look at the resulting file and remember the name of the module

For example for
<pre>
module rect2985() {
polygon(points=
[[-59.844, 54.700], [-36.460, 54.700], [-36.460, 31.316], [-59.844, 31.316]]
, paths=
[[0, 1, 2, 3, 0]]
);}
</pre>
the name of the module is ''rect2985'' (the file will probably be much bigger).

* create file in OpenSCAD that looks like this:
<pre>
include </tmp/inkscape-image.scad>;

linear_extrude(height=0.1, center=true) rect2985();
</pre>
Substitute your respective inkscape file and module name (as described above).

* Render, ''Export as STL...'' if you're satisfied with the result
