I'm trying to make a particular image in Inkscape, but to do so I need the equations (typeset by pdflatex and converted to .svg by pdf2svg) contained within two separate .svg files to be in the same file. I can copy between the instances easily enough if I open one file from within the other, but somehow the equations come out horribly messed up on the other side. To illustrate (the first is what I am trying to copy, the second is the result; the additional equations in the second shot are the contents of the other file, but that doesn't account for the corruption):

If this is with Inkscape 0.46, it may be due to ID clashes between the two files, in which case upgrading to 0.47 should fix it.

According to 'Help > About Inkscape' I am using version 0.47, so that isn't the issue.

Perhaps you could post the two SVG files for us to look at - that would make it easier to work out what is happening.

Also, have you tried importing one file into the other, rather than pasting? (I doubt this will make any difference, but it's worth a try.)

Oddly enough, the import seems to have worked perfectly. Thanks a lot.
