Svg files for SL360 on the roadmap?
Thanks for the positive words. That's a very interesting point regarding the artboard dimensions. Normally I create an Illustrator artboard to the exact dimensions of my storyline file and create all my bits and pieces in there. That's probably the 90% that import perfectly. The other 10% are obviously the items I create on the fly. It makes sense now.
I don't see the decimal point thing as being a major issue at all. Just think of the illustrator dimensions as being whole numbers. To be honest, I tend to create the Illustrator Artboard at 200% (so If I do have to create graphics with transparency I create nice big PNG files that scale up beautifully in the Storyline Player). So generally my Illustrator dimensions are big, but it's nice inputting these large dimensions (ignore the decimal points) and seeing the SVG scale-up enormously and look fantastic and crisp at that size.
It is a pain, but like anything else, once you adapt the workaround to your workflow it becomes second nature.
Just in case the whole "creating vectors in Illustrator" is too daunting for anyone I wholeheartedly recommend The Noun Project as an amazing resource for super clean and efficient compound SVG icon files. There is even an 'add in' for Powerpoint that allows one to import into PPT files with a simple click, thus removing ANY fiddling around with vector tools.
