Title: Layer SVG ID
Post by: jbravo on October 05, 2018, 07:36:58 AM

Hey,

Is there a setting I need to change so that the plain SVG layer id name is reflects the layer name in the Inkscape file?

Thanks!

The SVG code on the right looks incomplete. How did you save the file?

I saved it as a Plain SVG. I need the layer name to be referenced by the ID group.

Thanks!

Then you need to change the id of the layer, instead of its label, in Inkscape. This is currently only possible via XML editor (Edit > XML editor). There's no automatic conversion between both.

(i.e. you can label two layers with the same label, but they *must* have different IDs)
