1. Re: Illustrator CS6 producing corrupt SVG files

The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

2. Re: Illustrator CS6 producing corrupt SVG files
OrangeBook Apr 18, 2014 7:04 AM (in response to lnorris921)Hi,
I am having similar issues. My problem started when i downloaded the new verison of Silhouette Designer software. I get the file might be corrupt error when i open svg's i made with Ai. Other svg's that i purchached work ok. I can still open the svg's with Ai just fine, just not with Silhouette. I tried opening and saving them in Inkscape, however they open in Silhouette very tiny! (like several images are less then one inch!)
As for the suggested fixes, i'm going to try 1 and 2, however i don;t understand the remaining options, i'm new to Ai.
I've also emailed Silhouette, because i'm not sure if the problem is with Ai or with Silhouette! I've spent a lot of time creating svg's to match my stamps, so this must work!

K-Erica May 16, 2014 9:11 AM (in response to lnorris921)I am having the same problem. I think the issue is with Illustrator. I can open other SVG's from others and that I created before updating Illustrator. But I cannot open SVG's I created with Illustrator since updating Illustrator. I don't have the option to uninstall and reinstall several times. I have a a data cap on my internet, so not gonna do that. I will try some other things suggest and see if that works.

K-Erica May 16, 2014 9:54 AM (in response to lnorris921)I figured it out! When the SVG save Options box appears, go the Advanced section and uncheck Responsive. Once I did that, I could open the designs in theSilhouette software.

K-Erica May 16, 2014 10:31 AM (in response to OrangeBook)So glad you got it to work! Bummer you have to resave 100's of files though. Oh and I e-mailed Silhouette too. But just did it today, so haven't hear back.
