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.

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.

Some of you may have heard of the fact that Autodesk is now
supporting
SVG, and to be fair, that was long overdue, but at least one is closer
to having the choice of ditching AI8 format once and for all for a
universal format. I'm having a issue importing a 1 KB optimized SVG from
Inkscape.
