I'm puzzled about SVG export: it doesn't produce files that are readable by other applications.
Attached is a PDF of a simple example: it's dimensioned in modest master units, close to the model's origin. Yet when I export this, the SVG file has absurd coordinates. Design file setting is 10,000 UOR per master. For example, here's one of the lines:
line x1="7.39147e+006" y1="-7.39146e+006" x2="7.39249e+006" y2="-7.39146e+006"
The e+006 is exponential notation for 10 to the power 6, which is one million. How does a line 7m long translate in SVG to 7 million units?
Corel Paint Shop Pro says that example.svg, created from the same model as the PDF, is not valid SVG. I don't have Illustrator, so haven't been able to test. But the Adobe SVG plug-in for web browsers won't display a MicroStation exported SVG either.
What's the position with SVG: How was the exporter tested? How do we obtain a successful export? I don't see many settings options in the export.
You're right, everyone goes through the difficulty of working with SVG files, it's normal.
