Using SVG colors
SVG colors correspond to color keywords. You can use the SVG color palette available in the application to help ensure that colors in the
exported SVG file are defined by color keywords. To ensure that the SVG color names you choose are retained in the SVG exported file, it is
recommended that you disable color correction. For information about color correction, see “Understanding color management” on page
335.
Adding reference information to SVG objects
Reference information can be added and retained in an exported Scalable Vector Graphics object. You can add information to an object so
that the information appears in the file’s XML tags. These tags are derived from the data field names, each of which is formatted as general
text, data and time, linear and angular dimensions, or numbers. For example, you can name individual objects in the drawing and add
comments for each of these objects. The name and comments for each object display in the tags of the exported Scalable Vector Graphics
file. For more information about assigning information to objects, see “Assigning and copying object data” on page 276.
To export a Scalable Vector Graphics file
1
Click File Export.
2 Locate the folder in which you want to save the file.
3 Choose SVG - Scalable vector graphics or SVGZ - Compressed SVG from the Save as type list box.
4 Type a filename in the File name list box.
5 Click Export.
6 From the Compatibility list box, choose an SVG version for the exported file.
7 From the Encoding method list box, choose one of the following encoding options:
• Unicode - UTF-8 — produces a smaller file size. This is the default encoding method and is useful in most circumstances.
• Unicode - UTF-16 — produces a bigger file size
8 In the Export text area, enable one of the following options:
• As text — exports text as editable characters, known as glyphs
• As curves — exports text as curves
9 Choose one of the following options from the Styling options list box:
• Presentation attributes — lets you specify attributes directly in an element in the exported file
• Internal style sheet — uses the CLASS attribute to embed the style sheet in the Scalable Vector Graphics file
• External CSS — creates an external cascading style sheet file and links it to the Scalable Vector Graphics file
JavaScript related to rollovers can be saved to a separate file by enabling the Link externally check box in the JavaScript area.
You must embed fonts when you require the display of a specific font that the users may not have installed on their computers.
As the number of fonts or fountain fill steps increases, so does the size of the file.
Objects with mesh fills or drop shadows are exported as bitmaps.
If no single element in a drawing is selected, the content of the entire page is exported.
