When I import svg files I saved in Illustrator they show as being much too big. I have to reduce them to 35.26% to match their size in Illustrator.

Permanently deleted user This is my take on the issue.
Tinkercad reads the SVG dimensions as millimeters.
But working in mm in Illustrator won't help, as it converts the mm to pixels (1mm will convert to 2.835px) when saving as SVG. So Tinkercad will expand the image by 283.5%, which is why you need to reduce the import to 1 / 2.835, or 35%.
Easiest solution is probably to work in pixels in Illustrator and assume you're actually working in mm. A 10px X 10px rectangle in Illustrator will import as a 10mm X 10mm rectangle in Tinkercad. Even if your grid in Tinkercad is Inches.
Or just always apply your 35% rule when importing.

Sounds like a feature request for Zendesk :) -
Permanently deleted user Thanks. I have made an action in Illustrator to scale everything before saving to svg. Seemed simplest of the available choices!

Permanently deleted user Awesome! I'll try to get a Tinkertip made with the action in Illustrator. Both Glenn and you will get credit for it :)
