SVG Settings

Hi

Does anyone have a useful tutorial for creating an SVG out of Illustrator I am getting some text not displaying and it is saving the whole artboard when I do it.

Hi Graham,

Have you had a look at : http://www.highlander.co.uk/blog/2010/10/19/illustrator-and-svg-an-example-of-getting-your-vectors-onto-the-web/

I’m not big on Illustrator, so this might not be the right kind of thing!

Hey Graham,

You're not alone; SVGs are a little tricky! We don't have any tutorials about this yet, but we will next year. Illustrator Foundations should be complete in late March. We're experimenting with a new production process for Illustrator Foundations, and we'll release it all at once instead of releasing one stage at a time.
