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 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

Rishabh

Hi.
Here is the example of  SVG (attached). It was created using Adobe Illustrator.

The XD version I'm using is up-to-date:

FYI, your SVG file itself is fine and also imports fine to my XD (but on Mac)

Hi!
Thanks for letting know!
I'm well aware that the file is fine since I was able to import it in XD some time ago.
The issue have arrived recently and it takes place within our team, not my single PC.
I haven't check it on Mac but since I'm working on Windows I need it finally to be fixed.

Hi there,

 

Sorry for the delay in response. Are you still experiencing the issue with XD 38.1 version? If yes, could you please share this SVG file with us so that we can download and try to reproduce the same at our end?

 

We will try our best to help.

 

Thanks,

Harshika

Hi Harshika!
Yes, the issue is still in place in my current version v38.1.12.2.
I included the SVG example earlier in this thread but will do it once again. I would appreciate your help in solving this issue. It occures not on my computer alone but within our whole team.

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.

Regards

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

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

I am able to import and drag and drop svg file (provided as attachment, Container16.svg) into latest updated Xd. I am on win 11. See capture. By the way it looks very small at first.
