SVG artwork form Illustrator not displaying in Captivate 2017

Hi I'm running Captivate 2017, on a Mac, and if I import a SVG Graphic from Illustrator, I just get a blank square ? I can view the SVN fine in a browser and Captivate does not display any error ?

Is there any other way of importing Vector artwork into Captivate ? it does not seem to support ai, eps etc?

Also if I click the button to "Edit SVG" then the thumbnail displays ok and it open's in Illustrator.

I have tried "Converting to outlines" and using presentation export options in illustrator. 

 Thanks

    I'm on Windows, not on Mac.


    Hi

    Turns out it was a run time error with Captivate, closing Captivate and restarting seems to have fixed the issue, maybe Captivate had simply run out of graphics memory ?

    Not sure if this was covered or helps but I find that using artboards in AI when exporting svg's solves a lot of issues. In the SVG code it creates a bunch of white space around it otherwise.

    What were the settings when creating the SVG in Illustrator, please?

    Take out 'Slicing Data' and 'Responsive' in the settings, please.

    Try checking off Fit to Bounding box. I sometimes find that that corrects the image on your stage.

    Hi Paul, thanks for the reply, I have tried turning on/off "Fit to Bounding box" and adjusting the Size from Custom to Original and Fit to Stage.
