Unable to export Artboards as SVG

The AI does export to SVG. I have used this constantly in the previous version, but the new version will not save the image in SVG format using the Export for Screens option.

    I am unable to export svg also, is there a resolve to this issue?

  • assause commented  ·   ·  Report

    Double-click on the ai file, and when Illustrator starts up, only svg can not be exported.
    If Illustrator is started in advance, there is no problem.
    There is also a post at the Japan Forum, so please confirm.

    I have the same problem, can't export SVG from last version of AI 2018. Same file export as png, but not SVG. Same file export well as SVG on AI 2017.

    I am also experiencing this frustrating issue. No matter which way you try to export to svg it just won't do it. I don't even get any errors.

    My issue was sorted with a system restart and resetting preferences. Also theres a new checkbox inside the export screen for creating an auto sub folder; its ticked by default. Uncheck that badboy and we're back to the good old days!

    Whether using file export, or export as or any other exporting technique, when you try to save as SVG it simply creates a folder in the selected location called 'SVG' but doesn't actually save the file there. Nightmare...

    I fixed this, apparently now I need to have the document saved before it will allow me to export as an svg? Not sure if this is still a bug or a new 'feature', or my computer just being weird.

    Has been working fine for the last 6 months, updated yesterday and today I have been unable to export any SVG. I am not getting any error message, just no files showing up in the path.
