Convert .svg file into a Lucidchart diagram

I tried the AI feature by uploading a .svg file and then instructed AI to convert the .svg file to a lucidchart diagram for editing. AI seemed like it was converting the file and I received a message stating that the image was converted but all it was showing in the workspace was one of the Lucidchart diagrams from my personal workspace.

Hello ​@cory.slaney, 

Thank you for posting in the Lucid Community! Lucid’s AI features do not currently support converting uploading .svg vector files into editable native Lucidchart diagrams. When uploading a .svg, the tool often fails to parse the vector code into shapes, which can cause the canvas to default back to an existing document in your workspace. 

As an alternative, you can export or convert your .svg file into a high-resolution PNG or JPG file. Then, you can use Lucid’s AI Diagram Generator to import or upload the image/prompt. 

Hopefully this helps!
