Hi,

I tried drop an SVG into a template in vision on 8.0  
As soon as I dropped it in I just get the spinning wheel  
Nothing has happened yet, it’s been 10 minutes  
Is this a known issue?

We have a number of open tickets regarding drop-in of larger files. Would this SVG be considered “heavy”, or does it seem simple? Also, have you verified it follows the required format for SVGs in Perspective?

It is 3KB. I can upload 1-2KB no problem.  
Anymore that that seems to leave the designer hanging.  
I haven’t tried to add it to perspective yet only on vision window.
