A clipping mask effect is applied to the svg vector file, but if you move it to Ignition, the effect is removed.

It will be a while but if you can provide the SVG file, I can work one up that will work in Ignition. Clipping masks can be used, but when dropping in files from outside of ignition they don’t always get interpreted correctly.

I asked this question because a similar situation occurred when a designer was testing an image while creating it.

What are some things to consider when working with images?

Tanks for your answer.
