Layer missing when exporting as *.svg

Hi team,

 

I use the AI file from Adobe stock: 425221363 and try to either save as SVG or export it as *.svg:

Some layer(s) are missing (the blue man).

 

To fix it, I tried already:

Change the SVG export settings as per other posts - same issue

Deinstall, reinstall AI 26.5 - same issue

Downgrade a few times down to 26.3.1 - same issue.

 

Please advise. 

Thank you, 

Simone

Thank you all! Such a quick response. @Doug A Roberts. In your svg I could not change the colours of the tie or the jacket for some reason. It works now, thank you so much. 

@Monika Gause Thank you as well. 

@Anubhav Majumder You might look into the issue from a technical standpoint, for me as a casual user of AI the case is closed. I can now use it on my website. 

 

Wish you all a wonderful day. 

Simone

Please show screenshots that include the Layer panel.

 

Most people in this forum cannot just download that Stock image to test out.

Hello @Simone25562887hdxe,

 

Sorry to hear about this experience. As suggested by Monika, it would help if you could share a few screenshots, including one for the Layers panel and the link to the Stock file, so that we can check this further.

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

The part that goes missing is a compound clipping path used to create the man. I don't know if perhaps SVG doesn't support this type of construction.

The file is constructed in a maddeningly complex way using many clipping masks, whether by accident or design. I have tried to simplify the construction of the man so that he exports correctly here:

Thank you @Doug A Roberts

 

This is really helpful. As I am not an AI expert: Can you also please share your *.ai file so that I can revise the colour, background etc?

 

Thank you so much.

There's nothing preventing you editing the SVG. Open the SVG in Illustrator.

I compared your SVG to the image in Stock and it's missing the table.

I don't know about the table but I see some other unexpected changes:

Anyway here's the AI file, corrected:
