In general, I would say this is tough to work on as it involves three different applications (Maya, Illustrator and Inkscape), two of which are non-free (in both gratis sense and open source sense).

I know.

However, some obvious steps to try: Have you tried exporting/saving .svg's from Inkscape using the "Plain SVG" option, found in Save dialog under "Save as type" dropdown? Or, saving as .dxf or some other vector format that Maya might be able to handle better?

Using .dxf works just fine with checking the two options, and changing unit for preferred scale. And yes, I did use Plain .svg as a litmus test to see if Maya 2016 can work with Inkscape SVG.

That being said, with Shlomi Fish reply about the picture being too big. I'm gonna drop the file to imgur, and put up a link. - http://i.imgur.com/Yd6aQsE.jpg

As you guys can see in the picture, Maya 2016 have failed to import a very simple plain svg file. However, Maya 2016 seem to work just fine with Adobe Illustrator SVG. What can one do about this issue?

I'll try to reply to all participants


1. Which error are you getting? What are the symptoms of the problem?
You can see in the pink bar below in Autodesk Maya
2. Does the SVG file validate?
It imports well on Inkscape, but it fails to import in Maya.
3. Can you share it?

As attached.
