![]() This also explains why there are such modifications as “Inkscape SVG”, “Photoshop EPS”, or “Illustrator EPS”, “Xara EPS”, “FreeHand EPS”, etc. While they can be successfully produced in vector formats like PDF, editability can be transferred normally only partially. This file also shows why native implementations are required: they allow advanced features, more effectively and intuitively operating control over complex features, etc. So this specific design could be transferred to fully editable vector design, retaining most if not all properties of the original design, by combining different elements rendered in different apps (or converting individual elements to native elements and reapplying equivalent formatting parameters), but it seems that there is no other app that could perfectly open the Inkscape created SVG (neither in “Inkscape SVG”, “Plain SVG” or PDF format). The Basic Tutorial covers canvas navigation, managing documents, shape tool basics. You can also save a copy to a location of your choice. If you have opened it from the Inkscape Help menu, it is a regular Inkscape document that you can view, edit, or copy from. Direct copy paste from Inkscape to Affinity Designer via Clipboard works also well but has inaccuracies in some details. This tutorial demonstrates the basics of using Inkscape. As for this specific image, Xara Designer seems to import original features otherwise most accurately but has odd polygonal artifacts in imported circles with gradient transparency in strokes. ![]() Partially the problems are related to another app (like CorelDRAW) not supporting natively a specific feature (like gradients or “fountain fills” as they are called in CorelDRAW, in object outlines ), and partially to complexity related to transferring a feature that has been converted to PDF back to native objects trying to retain all aspects and attributes of the original objects. ![]() So instead of using the native or simplified SVG format, it is sometimes better to export and import using the PDF format (or sometimes possibly even EPS): While Inkscape does a good job in exporting these features to a PDF file (attached below), the original SVG file contains Inkscape specialties that do not transfer perfectly to other vector graphics apps like Affinity Designer, CorelDRAW or Illustrator (very old CS6 tested only, though), even when exporting from Inkscape using plain SVG format. This SVG file is a good demonstration of problems related to transferability of advanced vector graphics features like fills and outlines containing transparent gradients. ![]()
