Greetings.

This is my first post to the FM forums, and I am a relatively new FM user. I browsed and searched the forums for help before posting this.

I am importing an SVG file, but after importing the graphic, it is out of proportion. The text elements are different in relative size to the non-text elements. In addition, the frame that the graphic is imported into is much larger than the SVG itself (lots of extra white space), so I cannot resize the frame without distorting the graphic.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Me again,

I think I managed to work around the problem. I'm not sure that I totally understand how, but I have a good idea. I think that the SVG was not set up quite right and FM was interpreting the dimension units differently than my SVG viewer.

Good...for now.

fwiw ... I sometimes have to import and set an .svg graphic twice. The first time, it seems OK; the second time I open the document, the DPI setting tends to have fallen off. Train it up by setting the DPI value again and it seems to be fairly stable.

Someone more knowledgeable posted helpful information when I first had this same problem, but forum search doesn't seem to find it any more.

Pretty well off-thread, I've noticed the same misbehaviour (faulty resizing of non-text elements) in Firefox for Linux. Very annoying!
