Copy figure from matlab graph as svg

Hi. I'm currently using MATLAB 2025a. On previous versions, when I'm copying a figure as an SVG and paste it into MS word or Inkscape, the latex description in the axis is perfectly produced. But on the 2025a version, the positioning gets changed. How can I resolve this problem in SVG format? I prefer to use SVG than PNG or Tiff.

From matlab graph:

When exported to MS word or inkscape:

Thank you so much.

Provide the example as supporting info and submit an official support request. Mathworks is revising a lot of graphics stuff so nits are not unexpected, unfortunately. Reporting glitches will only help...eventually.

Not sure if this will resolve it but you could try exporting to an SVG file by saving the figure or using exportgraphics.

I see that you are experiencing issues with LaTeX text positioning when copying figures as SVG from MATLAB 2025a into Word or Inkscape.

I suggest these two workarounds to get around with it:

• Try exporting the figure using exportgraphics(gcf, 'figure.svg', 'ContentType', 'vector') instead of copy-paste. Refer to https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/exportgraphics.html
• If the problem persists, export as PDF (exportgraphics(gcf, 'figure.pdf', 'ContentType', 'vector')) and convert to SVG using Inkscape.

You can also consider reporting it to MathWorks Technical Support so they can address it in future updates.
