I know this was an issue on the old Spectrum forum that doesn’t seem to have any ground here, and it still is an issue.

See quick video with imported complex vectors and a simple heart made in Figma.

Any idea when this bug will be addressed? Dropping it into Illustrator is not an appropriate solution.

Hey All,

This is a long standing bug that our engineers have been continuously logging and trying to fix. This generally only happens on icons imported from other apps, where the mirroring on the points is reversed or missing.

Right now, the best workaround is to rebuild affected icons from scratch. Please note that redrawing with fewer points can also help.

While we can’t guarantee an ETA on a fix/improvements, please know that our team follows this thread and takes everything you provide into consideration.

I can’t believe such simple path would fail…

Guys!!! I found it! After all this time!!

Three steps:

Export your SVG icon/path with the stroke. Next to the export settings there are three dots. Press them → DISABLE Simplify Stroke
Head to this website to covert the stroke to a fill: https://iconly.io/tools/svg-convert-stroke-to-fill
Drag and drop the converted SVG shape into your project and use it as a combined shape!!

Fixed! (Easy workaround-ish) 😀

cannot believe we are approaching 2024 and this is STILL NOT WORKING

I found a solution, that works for me! The plugin is called “Path Offset”. You just need to set a negative number as offset value. Hope this helps

Is this being worked on currently, or do we need to submit a new request?

This works for me: Press “K” and upscale to x100 and apply outline. Upscale more before outlining if the result is bad. Sometimes extra points are generated but usually thats fine.

Then reverse the size by pressing “K” and scale to x0.01 (1 / upscale).

I have not tested this on complex shapes!

A really major topic not fixed since February 2021???
WHY?
It produces unnecessary extra work. At least an explanation would be good, so we know why this is not solved yet. Thank you.
I am quite surprised this has only 25 votes 🧐
