I tried three methods which give the same results :

Please post your Svg symbol files.

En fin! I think I found it.

How are you adding your Svg files to the document?

If you use the main File>Import>Import Svg as geometry, you'll get something like this:

importSvgAsGeometry.png (7.89 KiB) Viewed 1031 times

We need to use TechDraw's "Insert Symbol from Svg File" (TechDraw_Symbol). You can see the difference here:

ImportVsInsert.png (40.86 KiB) Viewed 1031 times

Let me know if this fixes things for you.

I use this button

TechDraw_Symbol.jpg (2.21 KiB) Viewed 1025 times

then I don't understand why I still get those squares around svg symbols when exporting to pdf.

Nor do I. That's the same button I use.

I'll look some more, but I'm running out of ideas.

Please try with these symbols and let me know the results.

Thanks.

Then I tried to open your svg file in different software programs to observe what you have done. I noticed there was no image in Gimp, Firfefox and Pinta. Only KoulourPaint was able to "show" drawings. For information, when I open my svg file with those programs there is no problem.
Could you explain me what you have done ?

Could you explain me what you have done ?

I hand edited the Svg files to remove these "<rect>" elements

Code: Select all

<!-- in  <defs class="ClipPathGroup" -->
   <rect x="0" y="0" width="10000" height="10000"/>
   <rect x="10" y="10" width="9980" height="9980"/>

<!-- in the rest of the file -->
        <rect class="BoundingBox" stroke="none" fill="none" x="2498" y="2498" width="5004" height="5004"/>
        <rect class="BoundingBox" stroke="none" fill="none" x="499" y="6768" width="2734" height="2453"/>
        <rect class="BoundingBox" stroke="none" fill="none" x="499" y="9218" width="462" height="3"/>
        <rect class="BoundingBox" stroke="none" fill="none" x="998" y="998" width="8004" height="8004"/>
        <rect class="BoundingBox" stroke="none" fill="none" x="7829" y="799" width="697" height="1373"/>
        <rect class="BoundingBox" stroke="none" fill="none" x="8523" y="799" width="957" height="3"/>

I don't know enough about Svg to explain all this, but I do know the library we use for processing Svg files only supports the "Svg Tiny" spec. It may be that the original symbols are too advanced for the QtSvg library.

Inkscape accepts this version, and I think it also solves the extra box problem.

OK great ! thanks a lot !
