Illustrator allows you to select vector artwork, choose Edit > Copy, and then simply paste
the SVG code that it generates into HTML in an HTML editor, or you can export as an
SVG (.svg) file. In this section, you'll export as SVG (.svg) and explore the SVG export
options.
1.
Choose Window > Workspace > Reset Essentials.
2.
Choose File > Open. In the Open dialog box, navigate to the Lessons > Lesson15
folder. Select the Logo_SVG.ai file and click Open.
3.
Choose View > Fit Artboard In Window.
When saving artwork as SVG, the artboard size is important. Notice that the art-
board is cropped very closely to the edges of the logo. The artboard size will de-
termine the dimensions of the SVG file just like it would in PNG or JPG.
4.
Choose File > Save As. In the Save As dialog box, choose SVG (svg) from the
Format menu (Mac OS) or SVG (*.SVG) from the Save As Type menu (Win-
dows). Navigate to the Lessons > Lesson15 folder (if necessary).
