[Qgis-user] Importing SVG files for symbols

Wed Dec 10 01:29:35 PST 2014

Alex,
 enclosed below is a sample of my svg file, (QGIS would not find it as it
has no .xml but the standard svg extension when created).
Yes, I've tried to export one of the standard symbols and such would import
and I've attached the code as well, I have to admit that I'm not an xml
expert, thanks for every input in advance,

Ludwig

Can you post an example svg file online for other people to test?
Have you tried importing some known working svg icons?

Thanks,
Alex
