Hey, I am trying to import an SVG Image into ThingWorx 8.5.4-b222.

Unfortunately I am getting following error message:

"Import failed: invalid length"

 

Can someone help?

 

Cheers Fynn

Hi @IoT_Fynn 

 

Yes it appears the way to upload svg is via dynamic content as you did.
If you check the Help Center Media page, it indicates 
"Locally-stored media entities support JPEG, PNG, and BMP image types. To use other file types, refer to them as dynamic content and modify the supportedMediaEntityContentTypes parameter in the platform-settings.json file to include the desired MIME-type."

I think that follows the behaviour you are seeing.

 Hey Sharon,

thank you for your quick reply! I put the Image in the appendix. But it did not work with any svg that I tried so far.

Hi @IoT_Fynn 

 

I am not sure how you are importing your svg file but if that is via a Media entity, currently ThingWorx does not allow it.

I'd recommend voting for this ThingWorx idea to give it more weight to be taken into considerations for future release.
