How to export SVG before the crash is fixed

SVG export has been broken in Rhino 7 for a while now (though it used to work). I was hoping it was a temporary state of affairs.

The question I’d like to pose is this: before the bug that causes Rhino 7 to crash is fixed, is there any other way to export an SVG file? I’m looking for a workaround in the interim.

Cheers,
Raphael

Hi Raphael - in a quick test here, SVG export works fine in Rhino 7 on Mac.
Are you referring to a specific YT item that is still open?
If not, please provide more information about this issue. If it crashes, are you sending in the crash report? Does it happen with any file? When did it stop working?

It crashes my Rhino 7 every time. Even if I make a simple circle, and try to export it as an SVG, it crashes. I sent a few crash reports, yes. Not sure when it stopped working, it may have been four months ago that I last exported an SVG successfully.

Hi - please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.
