It works!! And can be scaled nicely... Thank you very much!!

The other thing I've tried is to move my figures to a subdirectory called "figs/". Following the wiki instructions, in the preamble I write:

\setupexternalfigures[conversion=pdf,directory={./figs}]

\starttext
\externalfigure[system.svg]
\stoptext

So, running "texexec --output=pdftex pfc.tex", somewhere in the output it says:

figures         : figure system.svg can not be found

I've tried the complete path, but nothing... any ideas?

Regards,
Zeus.

\usemodule[res-08] \setups[rl:manipulate]

\setupexternalfigures[conversion=pdf]

\starttext

\externalfigure[system.svg]

\stoptext

if you're lucky, it works, otherwise you need to look into how rlxtools
works
