I am trying to use Symbol Factory Version **3**. Trying to copy and paste as .svg, I get this error: ```auto com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.xmlserialization.SerializationException: Unexpected parsing error during XML deserialization. at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.xmlserialization.deserialization.XMLDeserializer.deserializeXML(XMLDeserializer.java:398) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.xmlserialization.deserialization.XMLDeserializer.readRootAttributes(XMLDeserializer.java:286) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.xmlserialization.deserialization.XMLDeserializer.readRootAttributes(XMLDeserializer.java:282) at com.inductiveautomation.factorypmi.designer.workspace.CopyPasteHandler.startPaste(CopyPasteHandler.java:168) at com.inductiveautomation.factorypmi.designer.workspace.CopyPasteHandler.doPasteImpl(CopyPasteHandler.java:932) at com.inductiveautomation.factorypmi.designer.workspace.CopyPasteHandler.doPaste(CopyPasteHandler.java:923) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.IgnitionDesigner$Handler.handlePaste(IgnitionDesigner.java:2779) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.IgnitionDesigner$Handler$15.actionPerformed(IgnitionDesigner.java:2337) at java.desktop/javax.swing.AbstractButton.fireActionPerformed(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/javax.swing.AbstractButton$Handler.actionPerformed(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/javax.swing.DefaultButtonModel.fireActionPerformed(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/javax.swing.DefaultButtonModel.setPressed(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/javax.swing.AbstractButton.doClick(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicMenuItemUI.doClick(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicMenuItemUI$Handler.mouseReleased(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.Component.processMouseEvent(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/javax.swing.JComponent.processMouseEvent(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.Component.processEvent(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.Container.processEvent(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.retargetMouseEvent(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.processMouseEvent(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.Window.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.EventQueue$4.run(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.EventQueue$4.run(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.base/java.security.ProtectionDomain$JavaSecurityAccessImpl.doIntersectionPrivilege(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.security.ProtectionDomain$JavaSecurityAccessImpl.doIntersectionPrivilege(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.EventQueue$5.run(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.EventQueue$5.run(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.base/java.security.ProtectionDomain$JavaSecurityAccessImpl.doIntersectionPrivilege(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Unknown Source) Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 10; DOCTYPE is disallowed when the feature "http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl" set to true. at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserImpl$JAXPSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.xmlserialization.deserialization.XMLDeserializer.deserializeXML(XMLDeserializer.java:384) ... 44 more Ignition v8.0.12 (b2020042115) Java: Azul Systems, Inc. 11.0.6 ``` Fixable, or no? FWIW, this latest revision has some nice advantages over the older version that a lot of graphics packages have been using. ---

Can you upload one of the SVGs you’re trying to use? It looks like the XML contains a declaration that is disallowed by default for security reasons. ---

hmmm, that autoconverted to an image, I hope you can edit the code… ---

That doesn’t work removing just that portion of the first line. ---

Did you remove the entire line and save the file? It imports into the designer without issue for me after that. ---

Yeah, that pastes, but you’ve done more to that than just remove part of that first line, it’s now xml instead of svg.I think that code I originally uploaded a few lines up must have converted when it changed to an image from text. I can’t seem to replicate what you did comparing the two files, but I’m not going to waste anymore time on it. This was the first line I am using: ```auto > ``` ---

SVG _is_ just XML. All I did was remove the entire DOCTYPE line. ---

If I remove line 1 entirely, then copy and paste the remainder of the code back into Ignition, it throws errors. ![Annotation 2020-06-15 122458](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/4/40979ac8316cdc3d4738e97e4c11b15e82df1410.png) ---

In your editor the lines seem to have run together. There is a newline after the end of the DOCTYPE element. Just remove the DOCTYPE element: `` ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/8/8f3c79641d19db526c79588025dc2f68dd8ba275.png)
