I think you have to use the craft robo software to save as something inkscape can read and then import it into Inkscape and save as svg. If craft robo software only saves back to GSD then try printing to PDF from craft robo software as Ink can read PDFs/.

I'm on a mac and I don't know if this will work or not but have you tried http://www.funtimescrapbooking.com/? They have a Lite program that may help. Not sure though. But let me know if that program works or not.

Unfortunately, Funtime doesn't read GSDs, but you can use it to convert WPCs.

Do you know anything for the MAC that will convert any file format that inkscape or adobe illustrator to convert to WPC? Someone the other day sent us an email asking about the pazzles and I had no clue. They said they can import DXF files which inkscape produces but they would have to size everything like we do in scal when we import an SVG. Just trying to save them time sizing multiple DXF files to fit together...

I do not know of any Mac program that can read or write wpcs, and I have checked GraphicConverter which is the grandaddy of all converters for mac.
Did you try AI format? Funtime can import those. EPS from Illustrator is another possibility.
