How does a programmer download or export an icon from a UXPin preview? It seems you can only download a "path". All icons have more than one path. How does one download the whole icon?
Where am I?
In UXPin you can ask and answer questions and share your experience with others!
When you send out a prototype link with the "Show Spec" option enabled. They can select and download assets from right panel.
Facing the same issue. Right now it supports only individual objects. For example, if I put blank viewbox behind icon, it creates to separate objects to download SVG from asset panel. Has anyone solved this problem? Please help!
Hi there, that's true: currently exporting self-made icons/shapes as SVG may have limitations like only exporting icons/SVG if they consist of one path from the Preview > Spec mode. There's always room for improvement though. I'll pass on your remarks to the product team for review.
I have the same issue, also.
When developers view icons in Design System view, they also find measurements for the path, and are not able to download the svg directly with containers ore more paths. It consumes time :(
Hi Eduardo,
thank you for your feedback, I’ll pass on your remarks to the product team for review.
Meanwhile, take a look at our workaround for downloading an SVG composed of several paths as one SVG:
1. In Editor select the group with SVGs .
2. Right-click on the selected element and choose option Copy as SVG.
3. Open notepad/TextEdit > change Format to Make Plain Text.
4. Paste the copied SVG code.
5. Save the file with the extension .svg
Update here.
Looks like I've been using the Components tool incorrectly.
To have icons as svgs and to be downloaded by developers directly as that format, we have to use the Assets library, and not the Components.
I've made this mistake by assuming it had the same behavior Adobe XD had, to use Components to gather both icons and more complex components in only one library.
Uploading icons in the Assets panel will make the svg downloadable in the Preview.
Hope it helps, thanks and good vibes.
I've run into this issue before and found a workaround that works sometimes depending on the icon: select all pieces of the shape and "Combine Shape". Then it downloads as one single SVG instead of individual pieces.
