I am making a part for the DS3231 RTC. This is what it looked like in Illustrator:

And this is what it looked like when I imported it into Fritzing.

It seems that there is a stroke around all of the objects that I didn’t add.  
I figured out what the problem was:  
When I set the stroke to 0 in illustrator, I clicked this button: (The thing circled in the bottom right) ![](https://forum.fritzing.org/uploads/default/original/1X/29442bfa13ce04b7c3c2a6d9468616fd93724380.png)  
But when I looked at the stroke in Inkscape, I got this: ![](https://forum.fritzing.org/uploads/default/original/1X/06dcdf7460fa5b588207343d600ec06ed3ef4077.png)

When I clicked the x on the left, it set it to “no stroke” and then the image loaded correctly in Fritzing.

Not exactly sure if this is a problem on Fritzing’s side, but I thought I would let everybody know.
