Exporting to SVG without exporting the page?

[handrawn]

I see that egg, thanks

the export is taking something else into accouint re the page background - for example in my case [print document] - the export comes in correct if the page has no shadow, but wrong if it does:





so I can only surmise that something else in your [web] document settings is affecting the output...?

[I tried changing my document type but it made no difference, but it's probably more subtle than just that]

might even be affected by the version of inkscape - mine is 0.92.4 64bit

but FTR I get same in illustrator CS2
