I have added as attachment the .svg files which aren't opened correctly, it is kinda only showing the filling.

This problem accures in Illustrator Windows, and iPad OS, didn't tested on mac right now, but i don't have big hope.

My guts tell me that there is a newer SVG standard, which isn't implemented yet?

Illustrator doesn't open SVGs, but it imports them.

So your guts may be right.

You should report this to http://illustrator.uservoice.com

And then try if Inkscape can open and export it to PDF or the like.

      I understand that one has to keep focus, but SVG is the norm, the standard of vector graphics.

      AI not, so SVG will live for ever even when Adobe dicontinous AI, because SVG is more much more, it is kinda a decentral comunity if you so want.

       

      And i just bought afinity desginer for ipad, 20 bucks and does the job and even .ai and they had to reverse ingenier it, which is waaay more difficult.

      So i am feeling in my opinion a obvious antipathy from adobe against .svg

       

      PS.: Inkscape was not capabile to do the job, but afinity desgin opend it, made my thing and saved it as svg and also as ai, for only 20 bucks.


      Had the same Issue. Found out that you can open it with Figma, so you dont´t have to pay for it.
