In new illustrator CC 2015 when I need to save every artboard as svg files (File--->save as..---> svg--> use artboard...) - the files is null (no artwork in the saved files). When I save and did not choose "use artboard" I can see artwork in saved svg.

When I open the same file in Illustrator CC 2014 - I can save artboard as svg without any problem.

    Hi,

    We have released a patch 19.0.1 that fixes the issue being discussed on this thread. Please apply the patch from your creative cloud application. The creative cloud application checks for update once a day hence you may not see the update right away.  If you want to force the check for an update early please logout and log back into the Creative Cloud application.

    Link to the release notes of 19.0.1: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/illustrator-cc-2015-crash-bug-fixes-19-0-1.html

    If you still continue to see issues email us at sharewithai@adobe.com 

    Regards,

    Ashutosh

    When I 'save as' SVG and select a range of artboards the resulting SVGs are empty!  All my SVG options are the same as in the previous version - did this process hundereds of times and no problems til now.  Better revert to the previous version...

    That's great, apart from the fact that 1000's of users are able to view this post and be assured that they aren't alone and spend time bug hunting their own system. Most of us are creative professionals and not I.T. admins. This discussion raises awareness and understanding, and that is a good thing.

    Also, that feature request/bug reporting system is archaic. Why isn't it tied into your cloud account through the Creative Cloud application? That way they would already know what OS/version was being used. It's almost like they don't want you to send information.

    GRRRR.....   Get it together Adobe.

    Same problem here.  I use this function to save out my svg icon fonts.

    I reinstalled AI 2015; no fix.  I cant even go back to AI 2014.

      If you have Creative Cloud is should be straightforward to re-download Illustrator 2014. Go to the Creative Cloud menu and scroll down the "Apps" until you see "Previous Versions".

      AI 2015 seems to have disabled AI 2014 and it doesn't show up in that list. 

      As a semi-workaround, you can export each art board individually though.

      Same issue here, I guess CC 2014 will work for the time being.

      Reeka, others,

      There seem to be some unsolved issues with CC 2015, not least concerning SVGs. You may wish to roll back to CC 2014, if uninstalled you may reinstall CC 2014 from the previous versions tab in the CC management app.

      Using the CC desktop management app, go to the gear icon at the upper right. Find the Illustrator install and there should be an "In Previous Versions" option.

      You may uninstall 2015 for now if you wish.

        Well, why?

        You can install them side by side.

          Well, why not, Monika, for anyone wishing to await the solution of issues?

          And it was not an advice, merely the statement of an option.
