Hi Team,
I'm facing an issue while importing an SVG into an Ignition Perspective View. I converted a PNG image to SVG format and dragged the SVG into the view, but only an empty space is displayed. Could you please confirm if this is the correct procedure and advise on any SVG requirements or limitations in Ignition? Please refer to the attached screenshot for reference.
Thank you.
I would say that the SVG conversion probably resulted in either a syntax error in the file, resulting in an image which can't be rendered.
The fact that there are no elements listed, tells me at the very least the designer is having problems with the file.
Can you upload what you expect the image to look like, and the actual SVG file?
There is no such thing as “converting a png to svg” png is a raster file, or a grid of coloured pixels, an svg is a vector file, or a list of instructions to draw shapes and lines with colours.
To get an approximate representation, you need to “trace” the shapes in a png with vector shapes then save these as an svg. AI can do this to a limited extent, but most of us do this on Inkscape pretty fast by hand.
The imported svg shown has no “elements” listed, so there were no vector instructions in the file you imported. Some svg tools import raster images into their workspaces, but this is not standard svg behaviour.
