Same trouble anyone who has the answer?

I’ve also had a similar issue? Is someone able to help with this. 

I ran into the same issue and installing an older version of Illustrator resolved it. Hope this helps.

Its an illustrator 29.7.1 change, just go into preferences and turn on “Include SVG Code” should be gucci, I am now gucci.

Thank you! ​@StressCreative, This worked! I can now import the SVG’s back in to Figma. 

This doesn’t work seems like its bugged

I am with Bojan_Sandic on this one.

Running…

Illustrator 29.8.1

Figma 125.8.8

I have Include SVG code checked and it still doesn’t work.

My pictures copy across as a pixel image.

Same issue, not working with any steps above. 

Mac OS Tahoe
Illustrator 29.8.1
Figma 125.8.8
 

Copy in Illustrator, paste in Figma as pixels, paste back in Illustrator as paths.

EDIT: I was able to paste paths in figma web

I can copy a vector shape from Illustrator to Figma providing it’s one layer.

Changing Clipboard Handling preferences and checking 'Include SVG code' in illustrator no longer works

Illustrator Version: 29.8.1

Figma Version: 125.8.8

Hey All, thank you for your patience while our team worked towards a solution with Adobe! 

Adobe identified the root cause and now have a fix in place. The issue stems from a code change introduced in version 29.8.x and is not related to the recent SVG settings change. They also confirmed the exact repro: the issue occurs when the SVG “Minify” option is enabled.

They will be disabling the feature flag associated with this code change and will let us know once it’s complete. After the flag is turned off, you will need to restart the application and Copy/Paste with the Include SVG setting enabled to ensure it will work as expected.

You can find the setting under File > Export for Screens, and hit the little settings icon in that Dialog...go down to SVG and uncheck minify (until the fix has been fully rolled out by Adobe).

Thank you djv, I unchecked ‘Minify’ and now I can copy/paste straight to Figma
