Working with SVG data.

Dragging an SVG file from the Assets Window or the filesystem into the Viewport will invoke a pop up dialogue with two options:

  • Asset Layer - create an SVG node and connect the .svg asset to the File attribute. If the .svg asset does not already exist in the Assets Window it will be added.

  • Separate Layers - separate the .svg asset into individual layers, convert each one into an Editable Shape and set the Fill and Stroke to match.

It is also possible to copy/ paste SVG code from other vector apps like Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Designer and Figma.

  • Adobe Illustrator - Edit > Copy (cmd/ ctrl + c)

  • Affinity Designer - ensure Copy Items as SVG is checked in Preferences > General and then use Edit > Copy (cmd/ ctrl + c)

  • Figma - right click on a shape and then select Copy/Paste > Copy as SVG.
