Question

Elements are not exporting properly when exported to SVG in Illustrator

Hey!

I have an issue with built-in export feature, and was trying different ways to resolve it.

 

There is AI file with artboards, each of them has building plan (from AutoCAD).

When I export specific artboard as SVG, some elements (doors) are broken.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Original -> After Export

Also you can notice, that not every element breaks.

 

According to:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/trouble-exporting-shape-with-points-to-svg/td-p/10720325

I checked SVG end-file, there is no <ellipse> tag. This is what happens if I add extra point.

Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear about the trouble you are facing. I would like to know if the steps suggested above by @Ares Hovhannesyan worked for you? If not, I would request you to share a few more details like:

  • Exact OS & version of Illustrator
  • Is the issue related to a specific document? If yes, could you please share the document with us? You can upload it to the Creative Cloud (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/share.html) and share the download link.
  • Are there any recent changes made to your system? For example, any antivirus, system updates, or web extensions installed recently.

 

Also, after you have expanded appearance, ungroup all the objects and check there are only compound paths or try moving all elements to another layer.

 

I'll be looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Anshul Saini

Thanks!

Thank you for sharing the details and sharing the file. I tried your export setting, and I am able to replicate the issue. But if I do Collect for export as a Single Asset, I am unable to replicate this. Any particular reason you are using these export settings? Here is the exported SVG file (https://shared-assets.adobe.com/link/af72c5d0-7373-49ee-5d29-aff156f7d1fc); I tested it on different computers, viewers, and browsers. Let us know if this resolution works for you.

Please try to Expand Appearance of the  objects in Ai before exporting or Outline Path of critical objects  for simplify code for SVG.
