Trying to Export Points and Shape File to SVG #545

Hi. I'm trying to export a shape file map along with points that were imported from a .csv file but the points don't show up when the .svg file is opened in Adobe Illustrator. Do you have any idea why? Please let me know - thanks.

There is a way... you can convert the points to circles by giving them a radius, like this:

-style r=1

("r" is the SVG property for circle radius).

Thank you so much - it worked. Also, thank you for this excellent and free tool and the speedy response. I'm also a UW-Madison alumni. I'm a novice when it comes to GIS and cartography but will send you the end product(s) when they are finished (a long time from now).
