I have a question regarding the saving of the Flowable modeler. In version 5.22.0 it was handled in the SaveModelRestResource.java and one value being used was svg\_xml like in this code block

```
InputStream svgStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(values.getFirst("svg_xml").getBytes("utf-8"));
TranscoderInput input = new TranscoderInput(svgStream);

```

My question is: Is there none svg generated any more or is this handled elsewhere?  
Since I tried to test this on my working set but there seems to be no svg\_xml generated.  
Thanks for the help in advance.

Jan

Hi Jan,

In the Flowable Modeler there’s only a thumbnail generated.  
All the graphical views in the Flowable Modeler use a Javascript component to generate the process model diagram based on the model JSON. I think the SVG XML is still sent to the server at model save, but it’s not stored in the database currently.

Best regards,

Tijs

Hello tijs,  
thanks for the information. Since my company customized the REST endpoint and depends on the SVG I manually added it to the save method in the toolbar-default-actions.js with additional croping.  
Thanks for clearing the issue.

With kind regards,

Jan
