Hello, I am having visual issues on my more complicated SVGs when I optimize them. I am wondering what the difference in performance using standard SVGs for certain tasks. I have a very large project so the percentage difference matters more than in a smaller project. Thanks. ---

Can you show examples of the issues you are having? And possibly show a full page. It will make it easier for people to chime in on. ---

Yes Sorry, Here is what the SVG looks like ink scape. ![Screenshot 2023-04-11 155254](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/a/2ab070cd6b4b92eb4069ca11c879662a65c42fed.png) And here is what it looks like after I choose optimized SVG and bring it into perspective. ![Screenshot 2023-04-11 155401](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/4/a49acc1c0f8899e2dc6b549b6ec7015f62ea6361.png) I think there is an issue with the text being stuck a specific size. When I lowered the text size it remained the same as it was previously. Let me know if I am leaving something out ---

What happens when you import the unoptimised svg into perspective? Do you see the same result? I suspect you will. It may be that perspective doesn't support (yet?) the SVG features you're using, although I know there was work done in recent versions to improve this. What version are you on? ---

I actually just figured out the issue! The Converting CSS attributes to XML attributes was for some reason messing with the text size. But I also have a similar question which you will also see in the examples. I have curved corners in my Inkscape drawing but when importing they are back to sharp (even as a normal SVG). I know I can maybe take a circle and create the same effect but I am wondering, if like you, said perspective does not support the rounding yet. ---

How do you round your corners? ---

If you are using path effects (Corners) to round your corners it will not be translated to Ignition. Try rectangle rounding using `ry,rx`.

In the menu that pops up after selecting optimized SVG I just unchecked Converting CSS attributes to XML attributes. But now I am still having slight alignment issues. ---
