Unable to import SVG in XD

When I'm trying to import SVGs created with Adobe Illustrator into Adobe XD import fails and XD shows the error of invalid markup.

It worked fine before.
When I copy/paste the same graphic from Adobe Illustrator to XD it works fine.
Graphic contains only simple shapes (no special effects, strokes, gradients etc).

I'm using Windows 10 x64.

This issue occurs within our whole team. Please fix that and let us know how to solve this problem.

Hi Gavin5E47,

We are sorry for the frustration. We will try our best to investigate the issue. Could you please share the version of XD and the OS you're using.

Are you getting any error message while importing SVG in XD? Is it possible for you to share screenshot or recording of the workflow for better investigation of the issue?

We are here to help.

Thanks,

Harshika

Hi Harshika

Its the latest update 45.0.62.17, i have the previous version on another machine and the same vector files can be imported, I can also save those imports in an XD file and open in the latest version.

Thanks
Gavin

Hey! I'm also having this problem, the exact same error message, and no SVG files work at all (tried 4+++)!! Any tips on how to solve it?

Your image.svg imports just fine. Must be OS related - are you on Windows?

Hi !
I have the same issue when I import svg files, actually it does this since I updated Adobe XD. It has something to do with the last update... I don't know what to do with that but I'd like to know if anyone could give us a solution.

Hi there,

We are sorry for the trouble. Could you please share the XD file and the SVG file with us so that we can try to investigate the issue? Please share the version of XD and the OS you are using.

Is it happening with every SVG file you import or with the specific file?

We will try our best to help.

Thanks,

Harshika

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about the trouble. There are certain un-supported features while importing SVG in Adobe XD as listed here: https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/kb/import-export-issues.html#SVG-files-with-unsupported-properties

If that's not the case, will it be possible for you to share the SVG with us so that we can test it on our end? You can add the file to shared locations like Google Drive or DropBox and share the link with us through DM. We'll also need the version of XD and OS.

Regards
