And then you have a 3D Object in Blender from an SVG file. If you can you the mouse to size or type in a measurement– for example 0.5 for 0.5mm. Go to Extrude->Region to give your 2D Object some Depth. With your newly converted Mesh selected, switch to Edit mode. If you want to get rid of that, click on the Materials icon for your object, click on the black material and hit – to get rid of it. The SVGs import in with a Default Material. Later when I learned about Materials, it will started to click. When I was new to Blender and Inkscape, I could not figure out why my Inkscape SVGs were all black… and I just did not know enough to find the right keywords to Google. You can do that by going to Object->Convert to->Mesh from Curve/Meta/Serf/Text You’ll want to convert it to a Mesh before doing anything with it. Then I can change all the Transform coordinates to 0,0,0 to center my new SVG. I do that by going to Object->Transform->Center of Mass Sometimes resizing it takes it off the screen and the Object’s Origin is not very intuitive For that, I change the Object’s Origin to the Center of the Mass. Resize the object so you can see it better. If you look to the right in your Objects listing, you can see a new “Curve” that was not there before. It looks like nothing happened, but your SVG is there. File->Import->Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg) I figured I should document my process at pulling and prepping those files in Blender. (My breakthrough came when I started saving as a “ Plain SVG” format instead of an “Inkscape SVG” format). 
Despite some earlier blog posts on the matter, I have become fond of using Inkscape to make SVG files for my 3D Models.
