Hi forum,

I'm sure I've read about someone doing this before, but for the life of me I can't find it with the forum search 😭

Is it possible / how do I export a perspective drawing out to an SVG? I'd like to export some of the svgs that I've made in the designer to make a material library. That way I can use the icon component to load them 🙂

Thanks,  
Alex

I think this is what you are reffering too

But not really what you want i think

You can just go in the browser and copy the svg from there 🙂
