Hi all, I am currently trying to create a figure from bioinformatic data.
Everytime I export the .svg with the software I am using and try to open it with CorelDraw, it crashes. The same file opens with Inkscape, but if I try to save a .svg file through Inkscape and reopen it into CorelDraw, is still crashing.
It's very annoying, I contacted the support of the software developers to create a fix, but I can't wait for them to look into it. Can someone suggest a pragmatic solution?
Thank you very much,
Emiliano
Can you share the .SVG file?
Hi! I am trying to drag-drop the .svg, but it doesn't work.. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Still, I cannot upload the .svg file here!
I don't know if .SVG is an upload format that the forum software will accept. If it isn't, then you could put it in a ZIP file; those can be uploaded.
An alternative is to put the file somewhere online (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer...) and share a link to it.
I just tried with 7zip but I encountered the same problem.

I don't have much experience with SVG or with Inkscape, but CorelDRAW does not seem to be able to do much with the original file.
If I "break down" some of the structure in Inkscape - converting some of the symbols to groups, doing some ungrouping, and releasing one clip - then I get something that isn't perfect, but can be imported into CorelDRAW 2018. Here it is:

I would really like to see some improvement in CorelDRAW for some of the vector import and export capabilities.
Thank you very much! Could you please briefly describe what have you done with Inkscape? If it's too long to type also some short youtube tutorials might help. I am really not experienced with vector based graphics!
Warning: I have VERY little experience with Inkscape!
I thought that perhaps the SVG document had some structure that CorelDRAW was not interpreting correctly. So, my approach was to "start at the top level" and try to simplify the structure.
Here's a video. Some operations are slow, so I have "speeded up time" for some sections of it.
VIDEO: Eskimo clumsily uses Inkscape.
I think that the last "ungroup" operation might not be necessary - but I have not tested that.
omg thank you so much! It works! You made my day, I'm under time pressure and this problem was wasting so much of my time!
That was a screwed up file it would not even print to an Adobe PDF PS driver.
This is the type of file that I get to export with the bioinformatic software I have to use. I filed a complaint to the developers, but I cannot wait for them to fix it

Does that software offer any other export options?
