Add Scalable Vector Graphics import for both Detail Views and Sheets so we can import high quality and complex graphics from vector programs like Inkscape or Illustrator. A Save/Exporter of Sheets in that format is well accepted too.
SVG is a standard vector image format that has the following useful features:
Vector data gives lossless quality at any scale,
Gives us endpoints, midpoints, and tangents to snap to,
Open, non-proprietary file format (no licencing fees or patents),
Can be imported, displayed, and exported by design software used by architects, illustrators, and engineers,
USE CASE: Open a raster drawing PDF in Adobe Illustrator, use raster to vector converter, export to SVG, import to Revit as a background to model over.
Text-based file is lighter weight than PNG, JPEG, and other raster formats,
SVG is open source and been around since the 1900s.
As mentioned above, it would be fantastic for logos and other vector-based graphics without having to use AutoCAD which is REALLY not set up to do these things (e.g. hatches).
@lim.wendy- Sharing as this is a growing issue where product development is focused on improvements that a minority use, rather than improving tools for tasks that people are performing every day. Cheers
Bump - still want this! Would be helpful for all sorts of vector graphics:
Logos are usually made in some kind of vector tool that supports SVG. It's silly to have to do all the workarounds: large images, exporting from Illustrator to dwg (which runs into 'element is too small' errors).
Exporting revit graphics and designs into other vector programs - for visualization graphics purposes, or for web uses
Signage - could import from signage designers directly into revit.
Export would provide the ability to programmatically take images of views without having to open the view in the UI and then convert to raster if required
We create hundreds of Revit files a month. Every single one would be about 100kB smaller (and better quality) if we could import our logo which we have in svg/emf/pdf.
It looks very unprofessional to me as a raster graphic.
