Announcing the Release of Elemental SVG for FileMaker Developers

Announcing the release of Elemental SVG. This is a powerful and reliable SVG editor built from the ground up specifically for FileMaker Developers!

Are you ever frustrated that the SVG icon you download from your favourite icon site never works properly on buttons or button bars? With elemental_svg we hope to fix that issue forever.

Elemental SVG carries out the required transformations on any SVG to get it working in FileMaker. We have a 100% success rate on SVG’s so far in development.

In addition to the conversion for FileMaker elemental_svg comes packed with heaps of useful features to edit and transform one or multiple SVG icons.

Current features include:

• Load in SVG’s via file browser, or drag and drop

• Can handle editing multiple SVG’s at once for batch processing

• Undo/Redo in case you make a mistake!

• Copy SVG code to clipboard or view code.

• Batch save all modified SVG’s to disk in a single click

• Rotate and flip icons

• Opacity, Scale and Offset controls

• Modify color and stroke width

• Add a background fill shape & desired color

• Auto-conversion of stroke-based SVG’s to Fills allowing for FM button compatibility

• Make FM button compatible (or keep a non converted version)

• Remove dynamic FM fills if you wish to use a fixed color in FileMaker

• Specify whether your Icon or background color will be changed in FileMaker button

• A dynamic live preview of all your changes

• Dark and Light mode

• Change accent colors

• Retains your preferences using local storage

• and more!

In addition to this online version, we’ll be releasing a FileMaker database version soon for use in a web viewer. This version supports the ability to customise the editor when loaded via a Javascript function, as well as outputting all converted SVG’s to a FileMaker script.

While we aim to give 100% compatibility, if you do encounter a specific SVG that does not work well in FileMaker, please submit it to us via the tool and we’ll do our best to get it working for you.
