I have imported a KML file into Mapbox Studio, this includes pre defined regions in a country. I would like to export this to a file format so I can edit this in Illustrator, so an EPS, AI or SVG file.

I have downloaded a kml file from https://www.genesys-pgr.org/explore/map but I don't have a tool to support it. How can I convert the xml file to pdf or word file?
Converting a KML file to a PDF is not straightforward and the solution really depends on what you want to do with the PDF file. KML or Keyhole Markup Language is simply a collection of geospatial annotations on a map that can be opened in an application that supports that data format. KML itself is a shareable file format that can be emailed from one user to another to share places on the map.
If you just want to view the KML file recommend you download and install Google Earth Pro, which is freely provided by Google. There are other viewers for KML available.
One way to convert KML to PDF is the following steps:
Open the KML file with Google Earth Pro
Change the view on the map to view you want to save in the PDF file. For example, tilt the map and/or zoom on the map.
Next take a screenshot of the Google Earth map or select save image option in the menu to save the map view as a JPEG image.
Insert that JPEG image into a Word document and/or then save it as a PDF file.
In inkscape I saved the file as plain svg or as inkscape svg format. The file size on hard disk is about 1.59 MB
Then in blender I opened the add-ons window and searched for svg and check the first addon I also tried to check the second one but it didn't work in any case.
Then I did in blender: File > Import > Scalable Vector Graphic (.svg)
And selected the file and clicked on import SVG:
Then it's thinking for some seconds and then it's staying in the opening window showing the cube. Tt didn't load the file:
In the Inkscape I loaded/opened this jpg file:
Then selected it and then in the Inkscape I did:
Path > Trace Bitmap...
Then clicked on Update and then on OK
Then saved it as SVG and then tried to import it in blender.
The main goal is to use inkscape and blender and to convert the image to 3d object.
Why does after saving my Illustrator project to svg format it looks differently than in project? Those are my 1. project and 2. svg file after save
project : https://postimg.org/image/93f0srcx9/
svg file after save: https://postimg.org/image/cn0yili7x/
This is the link to the illustrator file : https://files.fm/u/4paevkju
I would like to link icons into svg as external source.
The reason is that I change this images on client side with javascript.
If icons are jpg or png or similar, I can click "Link" checkbox when place external file. But my icons are in svg format. And checxbox is disabled when I would like to place the svg as external link. I need to have icons as svg since I change also color on the client side(beside different icon).
How can I embed svg icon as external file?
I didn't find a way to do this with adobe illustrator. The workaround is to link to some jpg and then open svg file in notepad and replace external jpg link to external svg link. This way it works.
I've been doing some stuff in Illustrator and I have a problem with saving a project in to SVG file that I open in webbrowser, It just looks different.
And it hapens only in SVG, if I save it to PDF or PNG it looks how it should.
What am I doing wrong?
That's how it looks in Ai
That's how it looks in webbrowser
Here's a link to download rar file with .ai and .svg that I have.
Since all browsers render it the same way, it would seem likely that this is a bug in the AI SVG export filter.
To me it looks like you are applying a blend mode ("Overlay" perhaps?) to the white parts on top of the image. That effect ought to be reproducible using SVG filters, but perhaps AI's exporter doesn't support that yet.
If you are using an "odd" blend mode, try changing it, or reproducing the effect another way.
Individual pixel control needed in identical svg conversion is not possible. SVG creates only specific shapes. The Ai app conversion seems to use opacity to provide the color shades. You could probably tweek opacity and add some svg filters to improve the svg.
Print your design in a . pdf file instead of exporting it directly. Then open the printed .pdf back in Illustrator and export the .svg from this one, it shoud do the trick.
