    Hello Abhinav,

    Here is my simplified workflow:
    1.) Create views in Solidworks Composer and export them as images (currently EPS).
    2.) Place exported images in an InDesign document.
    3.) Export the InDesign document as an interactive PDF.

    I would like to use SVG for some key images in my documents. Using Solidworks Composer, I create an exploded view of an assembly to be manufactured, as well as the associated BOM table, and Composer will generate hotspots such that mousing over a row in the table highlights the part with the associated BOM ID and vice versa. Currently these hotspots only work in SVG or SVGZ files.

    This would be a great feature to incorporate into my PDFs, and drastically improve their quality and usability, but is currently unusable solely because I cannot import SVG files.

    I do not need to edit them once they are placed in InDesign, I can do that within Solidworks Composer (which is my preferred workflow anyway). I simply need to place them in my documents, and export them to interactive PDF with their full functionality intact.

    Cheers,
    ~Silas
