Printing with SVG symbols: QGIS ignores totally the size of SVG symbol

[trapanator]

Steps to reproduce:

1. load a point layer;
2. assign a SVG symbol to it with a size defined;
3. try to print to PDF

result: QGIS ignores totally the defined size

[trapanator]

change the 2. step with this:

2. assign a SVG symbol to it with a size based by map-unit

As you can see in the attachments only the red labels (numbers) are correctly scaled. The other symbols and the label of the line are wrong.

I agree this should be tackled but I don't think this should hold up a new release if not solved.

[wonder]

Umm, I'm unable to replicate.

Is that new symbology or old symbology or both?

Does that happen only with SVG symbols with size in map units or also in other combinations? (simple marker / font marker, millimeters)

Does the problem exists in PDF export, in raster export - or in both? It seems that trapanator refers to PDF export, while zanollim refers to raster export.

Martin,

Because I need rotation of the symbols by a layer attribute, currently I am using the old symbology.

Yes, the problem occurs:
with SVG symbols
with size in map units (and not in pixel)
in PDF export and raster export

this is already available in new symbology

Replying to lutra:

yes, but only for unique value symbology. For categorized and graduated values, the option doesn't exists.

Fixed for old symbology in r13687
