Using files I have successfully used before, every time I try to upload an svg with images embedded, I get this message:
“The linked images have been removed. To print images, you can use design software to embed the images when you save the file.”
I’ve repeatedly “embedded” the image in illustrator, re-saved, but still I get the same message. This didn’t happen before, but I can’t get anything done. I’ve tried everything I can think of and not even the two glowforge support staff I’ve chatted with seem to be able to figure it out so far.
I just added it to my post. The image isn’t showing up…which seems like it would make it an illustrator problem, but I’ve tried it on Adobe Illustrator 2017-2019 and still no dice.
I think the forum strips them out. Try a zip file.
I’ll take a look at the SVG code in a little bit when I get back to a computer. Maybe a phantom reference to what was a linked image, or who knows. I imagine if the software sees a call for an external file (even if a copy is embedded), it’s going to throw a flag.
How do I get to the svg options screen? This is all I get when I try export or save as or save a copy. Sorry, I know this is illustrator, not glowforge, but I do appreciate it.
Embedding it into the Illustrator interface is one step (that isn’t necessarily required). However, when exported as a SVG you’ll again have to tell it to embed (as you found out).
