Using variables in an Illustrator SVG file


    In an Illustrator SVG file with variables, you can control text content and object visibility.

To set variables in an Illustrator SVG file:

  1. Using a Smart Illustrator object Smart Illustrator object, add an Illustrator SVG file with variables to the Layout Editor.
  2. In the Variable Settings dialog box, do any of the following:
    • Select the Use option for a text variable and enter text in the text box to change the original text.
    • Select the Use option for an object, then choose from the menu to specify whether an object is visible or invisible in the target file.
    • Leave the Use option deselected for variables you wish to leave as is.

    Important: If you select the Use option for a text variable and don't enter any text, the original text is deleted. GoLive will treat the empty text box as the new value of the text variable.
