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 CorelDRAW 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.
• Links to external files, such GIF, PNG, or JPEG files, are supported on import unless the external files are stored on the web.
• 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.
• All CorelDRAW 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.
