information lost on export to svg

Up till now, we've received .ai graphics from an external agency which I then save as .eps for use with FrameMaker. Our new workflow requires .svg graphics, and the results of "Export to svg" are not always usable.

question: how can it be that the export delivers lines where a <rect> doesn't have a width attribute?

<rect class="cls-12" x="178" y="110" height="2.04" transform="translate(67 288) rotate(-90)"/>
  • apache batik transcoder chokes on the faulty graphic and cannot display anything
  • chrome and mozilla do their best to open the .svg, but there's information missing

OK, I do believe I have solved this! reading the output svg showed me the x and y co-ordinates of the 'guilty' objects, and with this information to hand it was just about possible to locate them in the drawing. It turned out they were only 0.4 wide, which is really, really small :-} So I experimented with the export settings to allow one place of decimals and voilà!

I'll be back with another problem about z order, but not until I've worked out exactly what it is …
