maxsteenbergen Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I'm making a set of icons in SVG format, and have them all on their own artboard in 1 document. Exporting an artboard to SVG (with no border or fill) includes a <rect> tag named like the artboard. I'd expect the artboard to just set the width/height & viewbox properties of the export, not to have its own rect path. Maybe this could be just a checkbox in the export options?

Staff Jon P Posted January 23, 2017 Staff Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hi, Apologies for the late reply! It should be the case if you export a singular artboard that the viewbox is basically the same as the artboards rect. This functionality exists so that if multiple artboards are exported each will need its own rect writing out, the viewbox is then set to the document size. I see where you are coming from and agree that an option to remove the artboards rect if it is the only exported artboard would make sense, i'll get an improvement logged for the developers consideration. Thanks B Cruver and MrMattSim 2 Quote Serif Europe Ltd. - www.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastienbarre Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Has there ever been progress on that one, or an option that can be set to not have that rect in the SVG? Thx B Cruver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeiligerBimBam Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 +1 for this, I have to go into the SVG code for each exported SVG Icon, really, really annoying and time consuming. iuli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
