Hopefully, this time will work. I don't understand why the yahoo mail program deletes those lines. I did a test and it works if I add a "<":

<<svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; version="1.0" width="800" height="600" viewBox="0 0 800 600" id="Parent">

<svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; version="1.0" width="41.4226" height="38.1808" viewBox="0 0 60 60" id="Child" x="127.653" y="22.089">

<rect x="0" y="0" width="60" height="60" style="fill:rgb(0,0,255);stroke-width:1 stroke:rgb(0,0,0)"/>

</svg>

</svg>>

So this is not a linked svg. I just add another svg as a child element. If you open this in Inkscape and select the the blue rectangle, its bounding box shows up really off.

Thanks for help.

Hi,

I still can't see the code you are trying to post. As far as I know Inkscape currently rasterizes linked SVGs before placing them, which might explain the trouble you are having. There is a bug report requesting better support for linked SVGs at https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/171795 . Maybe you'd like to attach your sample document to that bug, then ask again for help on the list...

I don't know why several svg lines got removed, here is the svg example that I am trying to edit with Inkscape:

"

<rect x="0" y="0" width="60" height="60" style="fill:rgb(0,0,255);stroke-width:1 stroke:rgb(0,0,0)"/>

</svg>

</svg>"

Subject: [Inkscape-user] question about moving and resizing embedded svg children in an svg document

Hi all,

I would like to use Inkscape to visually edit svg documents that contain other graphics as children svg elements like the following:

<rect x="0" y="0" width="60" height="60" style="fill:rgb(0,0,255);stroke-width:1 stroke:rgb(0,0,0)"/>

</svg>

</svg>

If one clicks on the blue rectangle, the adorning bounding box does not correspond to the correct bounding box. So it is very difficult to resize or reposition these embedded svg elements.

If there is no direct solution for this problem, then, given an svg file with paths and transforms, are there any API tools that allow computing the actual coordinates and remove the transforms so that the svg file has no longer transforms? Sort of like what a rendering engine does, but I would like to keep the svg format.

Thanks for help.
