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.
Will check with development but am aware of an enhancment to improve the SVG export functionality.
