AD does not open SVG

[LostInTranslation]

I am having trouble opening SVGs in AD.

I am working with Xara Designer for way over 20 years and since I know my way around it I still prefer creating graphics with it. But often I will bring those graphics into AD later.

But for some reason SVG as exported from Xara do not open in AD. Either they are just blank, or at least completely distorted.

Strangely, those exported SVGs open perfectly in any other program that I own, just not in AD.

I also often use SVGOMG (https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/) to make them smaller.
The results also work in any other software but AD.

Check the examples:

svg_test_xara.svg: Simple graphic as exported from Xara
svg_test_svgomg.svg: Same thing after SVGOMG treatment
svg_test_inkscape.svg: Same thing opened in Inkscape and them exported from there.

The Inkscape-export then opens perfectly in AD as well.

As only AD does not open, it likely is a bug. Please check.

svg_test_svgomg.svg
svg_test_xara.svg

The svg is there but really way out of canvas/view.
Watch its y position in the transform panel and adjust to fit.

Yes you are right.
But I definitely also had files that imported just blank.

And the wrong positioning itself is a bug too.

Hi LostInTranslation,

I can replicate the issue with your SVG and will get it passed on to development. If you do find or encounter any SVGs that are importing blank could you create a new report for those and attach the files please?
