Import svg - missing nodes and distorted shapes

Post by Kululu17 »

Hi,

When importing an svg file, I am finding areas where a shape has been distorted and there are a lot of missing nodes. In other words, the import is not exact, but it's being manipulated in some way. It's not a huge change, but it doesn't happen uniformly - so for example the shape of a character's body might be simplified and flattened, while a shadow on their body is left more rounded, so the two shape no longer match. It mostly seems to happen for more subtle curves.

Can anyone tell me what is going on? Is there some kind of setting for this?

I'm using 11.2 Pro

Thanks!

I believe that was a known issue with 11.x and earlier.

Significant improvements for SVG import came with Moho Pro 12. Here's the discussion with examples from back when Moho 12 was released a couple of years ago: Moho Pro 12 (SVG import discussion)

OK, thanks. I can fix the node in AS, just wanted to make sure it wasn't something I was doing wrong on the import
