FAQ

Quick answers

How do I split compound SVG paths?
Click Split compound. Each drawable M… subpath becomes its own <path>. Relative commands are converted to absolute so positions stay put.
Is split the inverse of create compound path?
Yes. Create Compound Path joins siblings; split takes them apart again.
Do holes stay holes after a split?
A hole becomes its own path. Re-apply evenodd via Create Compound Path if you need the hole back.
Will groups be ungrouped by split?
No. Split only explodes d. Use Ungroup SVG Paths for <g> wrappers.
