I download the project from Ignition Exchange- Perspective Icon Manager

[Ignition Exchange | Inductive Automation](https://inductiveautomation.com/exchange/2577/installation)

I draw a svg in Inksacpe.When I import it into the project.  
It shows many files. In Perspective can't see the new icon.

Would you be able to post one or more of the SVGs you made in Inkscape? I'll take a look at what exactly is happening when you try and import.

You might need to select the Inkscape option, Save As ... Plain SVG. This will remove all the Inkscape-specific data (stuff like grid settings, etc.) that might confuse Ignition.
