These very useful additions come right on time to make the most out of the newly added LineArt modifier, where all the newly born LineArt/GP creations can now be exported in SVG and PDF.

This would be impossible without Falk David perimeter functions, the testing done by Matias Mendiola and Daniel Martinez, the code review done by Hans Goudey and the library setup done by platform team. This is a team work, not only me.
The GP team’s work is impressive, thank you for your efforts! I updated the article to reflect that.
Wow. This is beyond amazing! Is there a way to export whole animations to svgs as well(if there is, the usability of this for creating web animations would be off the charts)?
SVG only export one frame, but you can export in PDF that allows several pages and convert this PDF to SVG easily.
Thank you.
