SVGIMPORT — Import SVG

Brings an SVG file in as drawing geometry.

• Command: SVGIMPORT · Global name: _SVGIMPORT
• Ribbon: Insert › Import

Brings an SVG file into the drawing as geometry. Each SVG outline becomes a polyline on the current layer.

Usage

1. Type SVGIMPORT or click Import SVG.
2. Enter the file path (or press Enter to pick it in the browser).

Enter the path of the SVG file to import:

Notes

• Outlines are imported: lines, polylines and curves (Bézier curves are approximated with straight segments), and text flattened to outlines. Fills and embedded raster images are not imported.
• Each outline's stroke color is copied as the object's true color.
• The SVG Y axis points down; on import it is flipped so the drawing comes out upright. SVG units map 1:1 to drawing units; scale the result if you need to.
