As the user manual mentioned, we can drag a svg to the view from any where of my computer. I tried this and find problem : sometimes I can do, but somtimes I can’t. Does the ‘svg’ file need a specific format? and what kind of svgs can’t be drop to the perspective view?  
I download a svg map from amcharts, and the url : [Free SVG Maps - amCharts](https://www.amcharts.com/svg-maps/?map=slovakia)

I download the svg, but I can’t drag this to my ignition perspective view. Can anyone tell me why? If the svg file needs to be modified, how to solve this problem?

Try opening some SVGs in a text editor and comparing the working ones versus the broken ones.

Giving it a quick look, the am-charts SVGs all have a custom `<amcharts:ammap>` element and associated attributes. You could try removing that element and the `amcharts` namespace from the top-level svg element attributes.
