Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) technical notes
Importing an SVG file
• Most of the information in SVG files created in other programs is preserved in the imported file, even if Corel DESIGNER does not support
a feature. For example, information about ink strokes in an SVG file created in another program is preserved in the imported file, even
though the ink strokes are not displayed.
• Clipped and masked objects are imported as PowerClip objects.
• Group, object, and symbol names and IDs are retained in the imported file.
• Symbols in the imported file appear in the Symbol manager docker.
• Bitmap files embedded in an SVG file are retained.
• SVG color definitions and names are supported.
• Round-tripping is supported.
• Metadata is supported.
• Hyperlinks are supported.
Exporting an SVG file
• Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) allows three types of graphic objects: vector graphic shapes (for example, paths consisting of straight
lines and curves), images, and text.
• Drop shadows are rasterized in SVG files.
• Hotspot information added to a drawing is retained in the exported file. For information about hotspotting, see “Managing object data”
on page 273.
• All Corel DESIGNER symbols are supported on export as SVG symbols.
• Object, layer, group, and symbol names are also supported. If the names are the same, the SVG file appends unique numbers to the
object IDs. Invalid names are corrected on export.
• Graphical objects can be grouped, styled, transformed, and combined into previously rendered objects.
• You can export text as editable characters, so that after you publish an SVG graphic to the web, text continues to be recognized as text.
Text strings can be restyled, copied and pasted, or indexed by search engines. Text can also be edited by SVG-capable editing programs,
eliminating the need for maintaining multiple versions of graphic images for editing.
• The SVG standard allows the use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to define font, text, and color properties of objects on a page.
• Layers are retained as groups in the exported file. If you import the file back into Corel DESIGNER, the layer groups are converted into
layers with the original layer names preserved.
• Only the active page in a drawing is exported. If you want to export only a part of a drawing, enable the Selected only check box in the
Export dialog box.
• URLs assigned to text objects are retained in the exported file.
• Transformations, such as rotation and skewing, are usually retained in the exported files. In some cases, transformations may be lost, and
transformed shapes may be converted into curves.
