Question

SVG export size issue

I am exporting SVG files from illustrator that I then insert into a Microsoft Visio document. I updated illustrator from 30.2.1 to the current 30.6 and this export stopped working properly.

Now when i save the svg file from illustrator and insert it into the Visio the size of the svg has changed. I played with the svg settings when exporting from illustrator but no luck.

Any thoughts?

    Do you save it “Responsive”?

    Also: can you check the size in the SVG source code and compare it to the artboard size in Illustrator?

    when responsive is unchecked it makes the image larger (like 20%). when responsive is checked it makes it smaller (again roughly 20%).

    with responsive unchecked these are the resulting dimension-

    “<svg id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="391.424" height="628.045" version="1.1" “

    with responsive checked it doesn’t give me a width and height dimension.

    I don’t know much about thise code all i know is i used to be able to get it to work!

    Does the size correspond with the size you defined in Illustrator?
