    Hi - I have resized the page to drawing on the attached svg, which I created in inkscape, but when I try to open it in another svg program (Videoscribe) it appears as super tiny in the upper left hand corner. Any ideas on why? And how to fix?

    SVG can be scaled to any size however......

    This image is 86" x 26"

    Perhaps Videoscribe is panicking due to that size ? 

    What size was she supposed to be ? 

    I have made her 8.5" and 11" in the two attached files.

    Hi Inklinea - Thanks. I downloaded the smaller of your images and uploaded to videoscribe, but it still appears tiny. See attached. I have circled the import file in red. In terms of what size supposed to be, just something matching the other svg images you see in my attached file. Any suggestions welcome.

    Still Tiny

    I don't have videoscribe.

    I notice the last image you posted already has an existing image of a man with his arms up in the air.

    If that is a big big image, I wonder if it is scaling any other imported images because of that ? 

    Maybe an idea would be to get an Inkscape document at a size that you know works.

    Then copy and paste the lady across, and resize her to that document, then save as a new file ?

    Scale settings have been my pet peeve since .92.2... it can result in this type of incompatibility.

    Here's a version with Units=in and Scale =96.

    Let's see if this makes a difference.

    The artwork should be 11" high.

    Tyler, I tried your image and it's still appearing super tiny at the upper left. Other ideas on what to try? Inklinea, the man in the air image was from videoscribe, bot vecteezy. I have tried resizing the inkscape image much larger, like 1000 mm width, but the file itself is huge.

    Ok, so not related to scale. I read that masked object might interfere, so maybe try taking out the masked objects from the document.

    Ok, so not related to scale.

    Actually, I do have reasons to believe it's related to the scale of 96 when eps/pdf is opened using the default Internal import setting.

    I'd try the Poppler/Cairo import option instead. It's using the native scale of 72 for eps/pdf.

    Maybe units on the viewbox are being ignored

    Here is a version with units set to pixels.
