: Export SVG function in Fireworks only creates outline There's a pretty big problem I'm having with Aaron Bealle's Export to SVG script in Fireworks: So I have a path in Fireworks that I created
There's a pretty big problem I'm having with Aaron Bealle's Export to SVG script in Fireworks:
So I have a path in Fireworks that I created from a marquee selection (which came from the magic wand, some feathering and smooth selection).
Let's take this image I vectorized in Fireworks from a drawing by someone at the NHS Designs in Sacramento as an example.
(Download Fireworks PNG file)
When the path is exported as an SVG using the Export script — only the outer edge is taken into account.
So what I get is a black shape on a transparent/white background. (When in fact the black shape was more complicated than that — but was still a single path.)
(Download SVG file)
How do I fix this?
Thank you!

Seems like compound path is not supported.
But i am able to get it working by
Do a "Split Path" - this will turn every element into a separate path object
Select the 2 background object and do a "Punch Compound Shape" using the Property Inspector
this is to divide the outline from the rest

Seems like is a compound path? Do you have the fireworks file to take a look?

This was likely a bug with Aaron Bealle's Export to SVG script, so I used Illustrator instead and everything worked as it should.
Here's how to do it:
Select path in Adobe Fireworks
Go to Edit > Copy as Vectors
Open Adobe Illustrator, make a new document, and paste
Voila!
