Import SVG (command)Bring in an SVG as exact outline paths.

Brings an SVG in as baked outline paths: the real lines, arcs and Beziers, not a re-traced approximation of them.
What arrives is a path, named Pth, and a path cannot be edited. Convert to Spline makes an editable spline from it and keeps the original, hidden.
Baked means the paths arrive as finished geometry rather than as a live construction, so they have no parents to edit back through.
It adds to the design you have open rather than replacing it. See Append for the same idea with a .locus file.
