+- for manual scaling, assume dxf drawing is in mm.
+- assume svg drawing is in pixels, at 96 dpi.
- scale factor and origin apply only to manual scaling.
+- 'Automatic scaling' will fit the width of an A4 page.
+- 'Read from file' uses the variable $MEASUREMENT.
- layers are preserved only on File->Open, not Import.
- limited support for BLOCKS, use AutoCAD Explode Blocks instead, if needed.</_param>
