203 icons to go to dev, and what do you know? Broken software from the supposed premier of design software. Still charging premier prices i see....

Jokers.

Thank you! Perfect timing I have a bunch of SVG to export today. Cheers!!

I was experiencing this issue yesterday. The only way to get SVGs out of Illustrator was using "Save As"... and it is not practical on a design with so many assets. I tried creating artboards for everything after "Collect for Export" was not working for SVG (It works for raster formats and PDF). It doesn't make sense that this bug would not get fixed automatically after two months. What am I paying $50+/month for?

Version 22.0.1, MacOS 10.12.6 (Sierra) Macbook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)

1. Version 22.0.1, Windows 10
2. Find an .ai file on my computer. Double click it, opening illustrator. Try to do File > Export for Screens. Setup SVG, and click export.
3. I expect the SVG to go to the output path specified.
4. No SVG is output.

When I open Illustrator from the start menu, then open the file, exporting works as expected. It is only broken when opening illustrator by double clicking a file.

For a more permanent fix, go into "Export for Screens" and click the gear icon next to "Formats" ... in there, select SVG, change any option (I changed fonts to outline) and click "Save Settings" ... now, it should work as expected! You can even go back in and put the setting back to where it was and it still works (at least it is for me)... must be an issue with importing the previous CC preferences into CC 2018

We NEED this to work!!! Just another reason I've moved to Sketch.

The only workaround I have found is to use Illustrator CC 2017

Doesn't work. Have to use the reset prefs option. Adobe what a joke you are.

this workaround fixed my issue, but i'm used to just double click the file in windows explorer to open it in illustrator. now every time i want to export .svg i have to save all opened files, close illustrator and open my files as you described. it's very annoying and takes a lot of my work time, because my files could reach 250-300 mb and saving them all one by one is not a quick process

doesn't work for me

I had the same issue. The suggestion, by a few users, to reset or delete Illustrator preferences worked for me. It also seems to have fixed the problem I was having with my vector art looking like it was sliced up at various magnifications. We'll see if this lasts before Adobe fixes it.

This workaround doesn't work for me
I've tried resetting preferences: the first time it works, but It seems I have to reset them every time I need to export SVG

The workaround does not work. When do you expect this problem to be fixed?

@Damo in this thread got it right:

Reseting Illustrator preferences by pressing and holding Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (macOS) as you start Illustrator seems to solve the problem.

You have to 'Save As', as opposed to Exporting, has this always been a feature for SVG? I thought you could only export them

I have the same problem. Everything tried. Latest version Illustrator 22.0.1, Mac OS High Sierra. It does not work. Please Adobe, fix it fast! This can not be! Come on guys!

We've also 'fixed' this issue by changing the Illustrator scratch disk. The asset export to svg process appears to export the Illustrator object code into the temp folder, and then does some sort of file merge as a second stage. It's that part that is failing, it dumps the temp file but not the svg file, when it errors. Hence Illustrator not being able to tell the user that its failed. Classic example of how Illustrator works these days, bits tacked on. We need this feature to be more robust please!

The worked for me...

Reseting Illustrator preferences by pressing and holding Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (macOS) as you start Illustrator seems to solve the problem.

Wow, this is incredibly frustrating. The workaround solved the problem, but come on...

STILL doesn't work, using a Mac, High Sierra - exported SVG is simply not there
