[Paraview] exporting selection labels to an SVG as editable/movable text-objects

[Dr. Roman Grothausmann]

Hi Dave,


Many thanks for Your reply. I tried this option, neither disabling nor enabling 
"Render text as paths" creates an SVG with editable text for me with paraview 
4.1.0. See e.g. attached SVGs which show simply a cone where I enabled "Show 
Axis". Opening theses with inkscape reveals that in both cases the text consist 
of triangles and not of text objects.
Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Many thanks for looking into this.
Roman
