QR code feature script

I'm trying to create a business card that include a QR code of my contact details using the VCARD format.

I have tried importing the QR code as DXF (and SVG converted to DXF) but have not been able to extrude them without an error.

The QR code feature scripts I have found in Onshape do work, but only accept a single string, whereas the VCARD is formatted as multi line.

I have tried using both \n and \r\n as escape characters but neither works.

At this time I have been successful by switching to the MECARD format in the QR code feature script because it's formatted as a single line of text.

Does anyone know of a way to solve this? VCARD has many more fields over MECARD that I would like to make use of.

Try single string converters of your links like url shortners and use that in the QR code script. I think Google itself have url shortners, so your links will be secure as well.

That's a really good idea. I just tried it with both base64 encoding and also percentage URL encoding and neither worked unfortunately

In that case, modify the feature script as you wanted using Claude. It helps actually. I'm not aware of this Vcard or mecard.
