Svg to png crashing issues

Postby 036483 » Thu Mar 21, 2013 2:59 pm

I dont know if this is the right place to ask this but I was wondering about converting a huge svg file (16mb, 30000ish nodes) to a 10000x10000 png image. Whenever I try to do this it works and generates like half of the file then says this:
Image

If I dont specify width and height it works fine because the image isnt that big, does anyone know why it does this or how to fix it?

That 10000*10000 pixel sized image is near 1m*1m at 300 dpi. If you don't want to edit it in a raster program after you made it to a png, there is no reason in doing that.
With such detailed svg, the export would possibly left out parts if not crashed.
If it is really needed, my suggestions in the converting is to resize the svg to the size of the png, making the exporting resolution to 90 dpi.
Then, if it still crashes, try to export smaller parts of the svg, and edit them together after.
If there are still some rendering issues, then changing the document's logic may help -like grouping/ungrouping objects, uncombining paths.
