SVG feature I wish I had

When importing a svg I with there was a bounding box so that I could go back later and edit the size and position of the svg. Bonus points if the bounding box could be driven by user parameters and constrained to other elements in the sketch.

SVG files are only just compatible in Fusion, notorious for failed profiles and hundreds of short segmented lines.

 

Why would you create such a thing in external software - the wrong size?

Usually the svg files I am using were created by other people and I am repurposing them. Secondly even for svg files I have created, the measurements for the mk 1 design ends up being the wrong size for the mk 2 design.

 

It would be so much easier if the svg had a bounding box like text does so that I could constrain the box to elements in the sketch which are parameter driven, and have the svg resized when the parameters change.

there is no bounding box, but, if you have "scale entire sketch at first dimension" turned on, you can place a single dimension on the sketch produced by the SVG, and edit that dimension, and the entire sketch will scale to fit that value.  You will need to "un-Fix" the sketch first, however.
