Curves are Rasterized at SVG Export

[KyleCrotts 2]

I'm trying to export a design as a SVG to import it into Blender for 3D work.

Some of the curves are being rasterized and don't show up in Blender. 

What is going on and how can i fix it?

Can you share your .afdesign file?

Yes, I can.

Looks like the "y" and part of the "K" have a black 2px contour/stroke set, the other curves don't have. - Further as default (without setting the SVG rasterize export option to none), parts are generated and exported then as SVG image references (#_Image1, #_Image2, #_Image3) ...

You can try to remove the strokes and export as plain SVG vectors with "rasterize: none", in order to see how things look then for Blender.

I will try that.

That Worked! Thank you. I really appreciate it.

Further as default (without setting the SVG rasterize export option to none),

Do you know if this comes "at a price" in some situations, because in this particular situation it seems odd that forcing vectors is required? Perhaps it is there to avoid very complex curves causing problems so instead getting rasterized, but do you know if the are there any known problems why we should not force vectors as a default option?
