Something odd:
when I export dxf to svg using the QCAD interface, the text is transformed into svg:path (bulky file )
BUT
when I use SvgExporterPG in a script, the text is exported as svg:TEXT (that is great!!! )
Question : why QCAD doesn't export text as svg text from the interface?
using qcad-3.24.3-pro-linux-x86_64
[solved] text as svg text

Re: text as svg text
It's a preference:
Edit > Application Preferences > File > Quick SVG Export > Preserve as much of the original geometry as possible
This uses SvgExporterPG instead of SvgExporter.

Re: text as svg text
It works great!
But I have to admit that I wasn't able to find this information in the manual. "Preserve geometry" was rather counter-intuitive: in my case I wanted to preserve the text but not the geometry...
Thank you very much!!!
