SVG file to XD, scaling distorts the rectangle tool with smooth corners

Question

Hey!Have an issue where the rectangle tool with smooth corners distorts when I scale it in adobe XD. Have tested it, and seems like it only has that issue if the rectangle is perfectly straight. If I rotate it just slightly, it suddenly workes as intended. Is this a bug?Process: I select all of the objects and hit F8 to get the Symbol options. In there, I hit the "Enable guides for 9-slice scaling" and click OK. I then go to Export as.. and save it as SVG. Please look at the picture for better understanding of the issue:Is there some other settings to use that always works? I also tried googling how to save the icon to a SVG file, but when imported to XD it would be 1 file, instead of now where it creates a folder. I would like it to not import the folder with the objects, but rather it be one file (like it would appear if you downloaded a icon from frontawesome)

Sorry that you are having problems with Scaling. As stated earlier, you can fix this permanently by turning off Responsive Resizing for Path nodes. Or you can hold down the Shift key when Scaling to temporarily disable Responsive Resize.

Hope this helps,

Randy

I get the same issue, some SVG files just don't rescale properly even if responsive resize is disabled.
Especially, SVG's consisting partly of lines with stroke and partly of solid shapes basically need to be edited manually in Adobe XD before they resize properly.

This is just horrible workflow behavior. I don't know why they had to make this more difficult than it needs to be. I don't mind additional features, like allowing me to edit SVG files within XD. But please for the love of god, if I can't easily rescale my icons because of it, I don't want it!

If the basics don't work, it's just very frustrating to work with.
