    <li><b>Create a simple shape.</b> All measurement units are supported, but 'pixels' is preferred. Single-part shapes are better, but islands/lakes are supported. Multi-shape drawings are supported, but individual styles will be lost. The shape must not be in a group. Clear any transformations if you can before saving.</li>
    <li><b>Set the document size</b> to the size of the shape (Ctrl+Shift+D for document properties).</li>
    <li><b>Save as Plain SVG</b> to your destination of choice.</li>
