Yes, @MEB, I knew that already, since that fact has been mentioned extensively in this thread. That's not what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about, and what a lot of other people have been talking about for a few years, is that I want to be able to choose whether objects crossing artboard boundaries get clipped or not. Can I do that? If not, I want to be able to make that choice, instead of the software forcing me to accept its choice.

If you're looking into svg export and compatibility problems, please have a look at this thread as well. TLDR: Don't use percentage values for width and height, use absolute values.

So, from what I'm gathering in this thread, there's no way for me to disable this choice in a document with artboards, and that choice is, as someone put it, "by design"? Well, then, that design choice is wrong and should be changed. I've run into a lot of situations where this would be extremely useful. An example, among many: I want to see what my bleed area looks like. In order to see that, I have to export the artboard and look at the exported file. As I understand it, there's no other way. That's just absurd. This request seems to be over six years old. Please, just let me flip this simple boolean!

@Dan C Hi! Any progress on this issue?

Fantastic! It'd be great if you fixed this, since it is an essential part of my (and I'm guessing quite a few other's) workflow. Thanks!

Slight edit: The issue is not a missing viewBox prop, rather the width/height need to be set in absolute values. Doesn't work: <svg width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 9578 8158" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:space="preserve" xmlns:serif="http://www.serif.com/" style="fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;stroke-miterlimit:10;"> Works: <svg width="500px" height="500px" viewBox="0 0 9578 8158" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:space="preserve" xmlns:serif="http://www.serif.com/" style="fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;stroke-miterlimit:10;">

+1 On this issue. I get the same result, 1x1 pixel in Figma. It could be fixed simply by adding a viewBox property to the copied SVG, in order to keep size/proportions.
