I want to export a shape with dashed line in illustartor. When I export this to svg the shape is rotating. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? 


this is the shape I made in illustrator (Just the dashed line is rotated, the icon is the same)

Please show the settings for the dashed line.

The SVG file format itself might not fully support all of Illustrator's dashed lin e options. On top opf that it will depend on the displaying application's rendering capabilities how the SVG gets displayed.

 

Just incase you are opening the SVG again in Illustrator: don't. SVG is not meant to be used as a work file in Illustrator. It's an export format.

The settings for the dashed line, it is in dutch but hopefully you can compair it with the english version. I can't switch illustrator to english unfortunately.

The dashes are adjusted to the length of the line and I don't think that this is supported by SVG.

You could try the exact setting. Maybe it works better.

 

No problem with the language. I wanted to see buttons pressed. And also: I'm used to it. Just leaving this here incase you can use it some time: https://www.vektorgarten.de/illustrator-polyglott.html (Illustrator terminology in 13 languages)


And what is the exact setting? What do I need to change for that? 

Ah perfect thank you for the terminology!
