Updated Sep 15,2023

Working with complex vector drawings in XCS can be tricky due to sluggish processing speeds and software lags. But fear not, we've got this ultra-handy guide on how to simplify the path for complex vector graphics! With the magic of Adobe Illustrator, you can transform your intricate SVG file into a sleek piece.

 

Steps to get your creative juices flowing again:

Open Adobe Illustrator and import your vector file.

Click to select the entire drawing.

Navigate to Object > Path > Simplify.

 

✅After Illustrator did its magic, your simplified graphic is ready.

 

 

If needed, you can fine-tune the simplicity by adjusting the slider to the left for a higher grade. But be cautious, as it may cause more distortion to the graphic. Generally, one-round adjustment does the trick.

 

 

The result is a leaner SVG file that's approximately 30% smaller than the original, making it a breeze for XCS to parse, without any hiccups.

 

Please note that your new SVG may differ slightly in detail from the original. Be sure to double-check that the final graphic meets your requirements before processing.
