import .SVG as splines

[username_mike_is_already_taken]

Since there is an importer for using SVG as a map, maybe can that be quickly tweaked to function also as a geometry spline importer

agree

My 2d vector editor (Affinity Designer) does not export AI, but do it to SVG.

Since it is a more neutral format, and to Splines we can not export any additional feature of the AI, to have this option would be very nice.

I've included this idea on my compilation of Spline creation and editing Ideas. Pls support this and other great ideas:

I currently have Illustrator so I was able to convert to a legacy .ai file but I don't plan to own (rent) Illustrator for much longer. Glad I still had it installed to convert a logo I made in Affinity Designer. SVG is definitely the way to go.

We have requested for this simple feature to import SVG/EPS since 2017. Must be difficult to code.

I need this too...

Hi guys, you can face this functionality by converting SVG file to DXF (most of vectorization programs contemplate this exportation or conversion, but you can also convert them online since there are a lot of websites that offer this funcionality for free) .

Once converted to DXF, you can import this new format via direct menu option "File > Import > Import..." and that's all, you have your spline visible.
