Same issue here. Exporting SVG, no files are written

Downgrade to 2017, problem solved.
How much are we now paying a month to beta test this software for every release?

Upgraded to latest 2018 version but nothing changed. Downgraded to 2017 version - and everything works like a charm (I even got rid of the insufficient memory error).

There's your workaround Ashutosh!

Exporting for svg no svg files are generated in to the destination folder

22.0.1 (64-bit) illustrator cc version
opening an .ai file going to file and 'export as' to svg fails. the svg options window comes up as it should, but when clicking ok nothing happens - no file is saved.
happens after the 2018 update - on all files i have tried.

Ridiculous

that's the weirdest thing ever, but hey... it works! Thanks Ashutosh!

this is rediculous!

Just had notification for an update to Illustrator. Hope this includes a fix for exporting SVG!!!

Hi,
I'm trying to export artwork as SVG in Illustrator 2018 and the file is not created. I tried export for screens – it gives the same results.
Exporting PNG works fine.
I'm attacjing animation showing my steps.

Same problem. I can export as an SVG but it refuses to recognise any artboard boundaries and always exports the entire document. Immensely frustrating.

It's pretty hard to argue with people that they should not be migrating to Sketch because Adobe is going to do a better job when you guys are blowing it on basic features. I don't know the tech behind writing svg output but it's a basic feature...much more so than say writing a PDF which is sort of complicated.

I'm a web design and developer and I do expect more! I'm sort of impressed with XD, but I need all these apps to work like the video production tools which allow me to bounce assets back and forth and export in virtually any format imaginable.

I vote for no more stupid phone editing and get to work on the real tools!

@mikael,
Could you please share the crash dump with us, so that we can look into the issue.
crash dump can be collected using steps given in following article,

This doesn't work. Exporting for SVG makes Illustrator CC crash, no matter how you open or choose to save it.

Workaround: I use Sketch instead.

I tried every workaround - but i dont get any proper svg out of illustrator. The svgs are showing up now, but they are totaly messy, far away from usable. They have to be finished since yesterday - any solutions?

The only thing that worked for me was to reset Illustrator Preferences by starting it with cmd+opt+shift.

This workaround doesn't fix it for me, even after full reboot. Running MacOS Sierra.

The workaround posted does not work for me.

I'm also unable to export SVG since I updated to version 22.

Hi Philip,
Thanks for sharing the concern,
Could you please tell us, if you are launching Illustrator through document (double click or with open with options).

Please help us in providing the steps you are taking to reproduce this issue.

Regards,
Hitesh
