Hi, all! Long-time Illustrator user here, but since the last update, I appear to be having a problem with Illustrator destroying my SVG files.

A few minutes after saving, Illustrator is making all of the paths jagged and uneven. I´ve attached some examples. One is how the file is supposed to look, and the other is how Illustrator has made it look.

Can anyone shed any light on what´s happening? It´s happening to my other artist friends, too, so it´s not just me. Thanks!

Hi there,

Sorry about this experience. I hope the issue has been resolved by now. If not, please feel free to share a few more details like:

The OS and version of Illustrator you are using.
Whether this problem started recently.
If the issue is specific to a particular file.
A screenshot of the settings you are using while exporting SVG files.
The application you are using to open and view SVG files.

I'm here to help and would be happy to assist you.

Regards,

Srishti

Is the Decimals setting in the export higher than 2?

The company I design for say we have to set it at 7. Do you think that this could be the problem? 😬

OK, thanks! I work in AI but export in SVG, and now every SVG file I have is corrupted. Do you have any other ideas about what could be wrong with it? As soon as I export it as an SVG, it becomes distorted.

Can you upload a demo AI file for testing?
