Hi. I have run into a snag. I have a file I just created that will not import. When I add artwork to GF (.svg) The error I get is:
Archive.zip (517.0 KB)
Any ideas?
I have determined that it has something to do with the signature, which I got from Adobe Capture. Sometingf to do with a compound path?
I selected the signature, and inkscape indicates it has a black fill, but no stroke set.
Are you engraving the signature ?
If you change the ‘View’ to ‘outline’ from ‘normal’, you will see that it’s a path with 319 nodes.
If you are engraving, you need a fill but no stroke, but I’m not sure what needs to be done here. Possibly convert the signature to a bitmap ?

My tendency would be to convert to bitmap. Something like a signature is not going to produce a pretty path, so headaches.
Thanks for the ideas… I am still struggling with this, but I think I need to dive into AI a bit more.
This oughta work for ya…

What I did was close the path in an area (indicated by the screenshots)
You can see on the lower-right of the screenshot a part where the path is not joined. (Do I remember correctly these are called bowls in typography?) This is the top bowl.
I closed it and it uploaded fine to the UI for me.

Wow! Thank you! Is that what they called a compound path?
