Hi,
while talking about the svg export, I have another question.

When I use print composer to generate a map, export it to SVG and import 
it to Illustrator, some shape files are not cropped to the extend of the 
print composer frame. Instead the whole shape file is shown.

What's the reason for this and how can it be solved?

Thanks
Harald
