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.

    This so frustrating. Either fix the feature or remove it.

      Sorry to hear that. Figma often created some extra points for me to, but I had no issues with it.

        I’ll do a test if you could send me the SVG-code. It doesn’t look to complex.

        guys just deselect the simple stroke option when exporting the svg in the three dots page. idk why its automatically selected either.

        How do you get these options they don’t appear for me

        the options only appear if u actually have a stroke in place already. not sure what the other options are.

        I found the logic behind it and, therefore, a sloppy solution.
        Figma needs a higher resolution to Outline the Stroke.
        Making it HUGE(ex 5000px x 5000px) and then converting the stroke into a path has been working for me.

          you are right, I just tried and it worked perfectly, I increased the size of the icon and then converted. Thanks
