Hi Alejandro, I’ve been using the SVGL stack for a while now but the heart of the matter
is that its output is still polygon objects in a group ( which you have to ungroup, ungroup a couple of times
in LiveCode , then regroup as one group for scaling to work) and I can scale this group.

However: I can’t copy the code into SVGL icon as of yet because it contains as you state Transforms but also
it is not one compound path ( with black stroke) but multiple paths ( or multiple objects as CS6 calls it in Illustrator)
Somehow I have the feeling that most of the code for the SVGL transform is already there if only we could have a recipe
to save our SVGL’s in ONE standard format that an adapted version of the SVGL icon importer from Trevor can recognise.

Basically : Colour and multiple paths. Nothing else.

I know too little Illustrator and LiveCode Builder (as of yet)  to actively recognise what goes wrong. But would be willing to help.
