      SVG files out of Adobe Illustrator

      Note: as of Illustrator 28.4.1 SVG output has changed and no longer supports SVG output for Origin. For a temporary workaround see the Adobe Illustrator Troubleshooting article. (only necessary if you are using Kirby Cove or older)

      Saving SVG files out of Illustrator is straight-forward.

      Simply select 'Save As' in the File menu and select the SVG type (see image below) to export the file as an SVG.

      An SVG options screen will appear, providing Advanced Settings. In most cases, you will not need to worry about the settings. Simply select "OK" 

      Note: If your file contains live text (text that has not been converted to paths), you must select the "Convert to outline" option in Fonts > Type

      The save settings shown below provide the most reliable export settings. If for any reason the defaults are not working, you can try the conservative settings shown below.
