Export as SVG not workingn correctly for new sketch style

Post by kleemax »

When exporting in "new style sketch" i.e. disabling View/traditional sketch style, the function View/Export as SVG does not yield the same results as what is seen on the screen. It seems that what is exported is somehow a mix of old and new sketch style:
- the visual connection between the flows and the clouds as well as the stocks is not exported correctly. The line of the cloud/Stock continues where it should be interrupted for the flow to enter the cloud/Stock (see attachment).
- the rounded edges of the "new sketch" for stocks does not appear in the export
- the vector-definition of the clouds is different (looks hand-drawn in export but uses circles in screen-display)

I think that's more or less the best we can do with the newer sketch style.

I'll see if we can adjust things to line up the pipes. But the curves and drop shadows don't seem to be drawn at all.

One more thing I have noticed: when exporting SVG of a sketch that contains a loop polarity direction indicator image, then the export does not only yield the SVG but also a png of exactly this direction indicator image

What version of Vensim are you using? And new or old GUI?

Can you upload a sample model, as this should not happen.
