Folks,
I often faced errors loading scalable vector graphic files that have
been exported by Microsoft Visio, Microsoft Word and other Microsoft
Office products. These files cannot be loaded into programs like
inkscape. This is how to fix this error. The export filter did not
declare the XLINK namespace that is used within this SVG file
afterwards. Referring to XML regulations, this is an error.
You fix it like that:
step 1: open the exported svg file
step 2: add this line to the SVG tag at the beginning of the svg file:
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
done!
Afterwards, the header of the svg file might look like this
<svg
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
xmlns:v="http://schemas.microsoft.com/visio/2003/SVGExtensions/"
width="11.6929in"
height="8.26772in"
viewBox="0 0 841.89 595.276"
xml:space="preserve"
color-interpolation-filters="sRGB"
class="st11"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
Good Luck,
Matthias Wimmer,
