When I export my .ia file to a .svg, my carefully drawn lines and arrows disappear. The image below shows my diagram before and after exporting from Illustrator to .svg.

Can anyone explain how to export from an Illustrator 2017 file to a .svg and preserve all elements of the Illustrator file?

Here are my .svg export settings:

This issue is holding up a large project. Would be grateful for any guidance. Thanks!

You need to make one path for the path text and another one for the arrow.

Without seeing your files (the AI as well as the resulting SVG) nobody will be able to help you unfortunately. Can you please upload them to Dropbox or the like?

Are the paths gone? Or just the strokes?

How are those arrows built?

Hi Monika,

Many thanks for your reply.

The lines and arrows were made in Illustrator with the curvature tool. Then I labelled the lines using the type on a path tool.

As you can see, the labels are there but the lines and arrows, on which the labels were made, have disappeared.

You can see the .svg file itself and the original .ai file in this Dropbox folder.

Any solutions come to mind?
