Convert an "Embedded document" (e.g. SVG) into layers


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I have some Google Material Design SVG Icons (https://material.io/icons/) placed as "Embedded document" on my artboard and I want to convert these into groups to change the color of the icon faster.

 

At the moment I open the embedded document (the icon), select all shapes/layers, copy, switch back to artboard, paste them there and create a group. Is there a faster way to convert an "Embedded document" into a group by keeping all shapes? Or in other word - is there a way to turn an embedded document into layers?

 

Rasterise is NOT the option I'm looking for. I want to keep all vector shapes.

Hi Vore,

 

Welcome to the Forums :)

 

The work around you have come up with is the fastest way to convert your embedded document in to just vector shapes.

 

Thanks
