Illustrator complains about too many nested groups

Postby anntzer » Thu May 16, 2013 10:58 am

Hi,
One of my colleagues would like to use Illustrator (Adobe CS6, I think) to open some svg files I created with Inkscape, but Illustrator complains about there being "too many nested groups". Any hints on how I could "fix" the svg so that Illustrator is happier?
Thanks in advance,
Antony

I belive illustrator would be fine with plain svg.
Save to that instead of inkscape svg.

Good luck!

Those nested groups should refer to sublayers in Inkscape or Groups of grouped objects and it could make a trouble for Illustrator (different treatment of layers and groups among these two sw`s). I`m not quite sure if just saving as a plain svg would solve the thing. Perhaps you should try to reduce the number of sublayers (if any), reduce number of those Groups or check this topic.
