Exporting an inkscape drawing to latex

Question

I need help please, I'm new to using latex and inkscape. I saved my image from inkscape as a pdf_latex file, in the same directory as my latex document. Then in my latex document I added the following code:

\begin{figure}[htb]
\centering
\def\svgwidth{columnwidth}
\input{imagename.pdf_tex}
\end{figure}

I also included graphicx.

When I run pdflatex it says process excited with errors. I clicked on it to see the errors, but it says no latex errors detected. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Answer 1

You should look for .pdf_tex file. Inside it, it has some infos and point to pdf file generated.

\put(0,0){\includegraphics[width=\unitlength,page=1]{file.pdf}}%

Make sure that file is pointed right. If generated file has multiple pages, change all of them.

When in subfolders like

img/

You should consider adding it manually or using the

\graphicspath{{img/}}

I also prefer using:

\begin{figure}[h] \centering \resizebox{1\columnwidth}{!}{file.pdf_tex}} \end{figure}
