When I export an ER diagram in MySQL Workbench as SVG, its text uses <symbol> tags. This makes it impossible to copy the tables to another file, without breaking the layout. (The copied object will be a group containing a path, but the letters are too small in relation to the text.)
So I would like to convert the text to paths.
But if I try Object > Convert to path,
I get an error message.
(Here is a GIF that shows it in German.)
Does anyone know a way to force the conversion to paths? (Or any other solution to this problem?)
<symbol>elements are used to define graphical template objects which can be instantiated by a<use>element. If the<symbol>element has a viewBox attribute the<use>element can get a position (x,y) and a size (width, height) meaning that you can set the size of the text to something bigger. It would be nice to see the svg code in your question. – enxaneta Jun 9 at 16:49
