EMFs import differently

Hey y'all,

So I like making my own icons/freeforms. I typically use Inkscape for the vector work. Storyline accepts SVGs, but I can't change the colors per project. Typically, I make an emf and ungroup it to turn it into a freeform. Unfortunately, I cannot get that behavior to play nicely from an emf made in Inkscape. Instead, I have to import the svg into PowerPoint, and then save it as an emf; then I can import the emf into Storyline and ungroup it.

Can somebody clarify what is so different about the emf from Inkscape as opposed to the emf from PowerPoint? Is the issue with Inkscape's codec? Is the issue with Storyline's import process?

I would offer to share my .emfs as an example, but its not a permissible file type.

Thanks,

Pierre
