Problem import/view svg with FM11 (Win7)

Goodmorning,

First sorry for my english.

I have a big problem with the new version of Framemaker 11.

if I create an xml connecting the external svg (created in Illustrator) Framemaker with version 11 (Windows 7), raster images inside the svg are not displayed in the preview, only text and vector files.

If I try to open an xml file created with version Framamaker like 9 or 11 on windows XP the element "stepimage" with whom I connect the svg are no longer present on the tree.

If I insert again the stepimage tree, they become disproportionate size.

In fact, opening them with Illustrator CC dimensions have changed (I have not edited the picture.)

However, still do not appear raster files.

I hope someone can help me.

Thanks

thank you, but I have used svg extension, not eps.

The original file was made by using the CS6 version.

Regarding your issue with the stepimage element missing - I would suspect, that the XP machine has a different read/write rule for XML import.

This would also explain, why the proportions for the image get altered (due to some obscure change of attributes).

That's possible, you can tell me where can I see the read/write rule for XML import.

Maybe I can fix it...

that's what I see

Hi,

the read/write rules are defined by the structure application you are using.

You find them under Structure Tools > Edit Structure Applikation (or something similar).

It should be a FM or a plain text file.

These rules define your roundtripping from DTD to EDD and vice versa.

Usually graphic elements are defined there as you will likely have different mappings of attributes in FM and XML.

My suspicion goes into the direction, that there are different metrics used (in/cm/pt or whatever) than you use elsewhere.

It is also possible, that the element is not defined there at all, meaning that FM interprets the stepimage element as a normal container element, thus discarding the image.

Really hard to say what happens here, without knowing the detailed specifics of DTD, EDD and RWR.

It would be good, if you could post some sample XML, the part of the RWR that handles the stepimage element and the declarations in the EDD & DTD.

Hi,

I don't know if this helps your cause. But the constellation you mention (FM11 & Illustrator CC) caused some similar problems a few days ago here.

For us it had been EPS files created by Illu CC which could not be displayed properly by FM11.

We solved that with saving them as CS6.

Regarding your issue with the stepimage element missing - I would suspect, that the XP machine has a different read/write rule for XML import.

Hope that helps.
