What I do is parse properties of objects that are copied - like "mask", "fill" or "clip-path" properties - if they contain "url(id)" value, and if 'url' is used, I 1. find defs element with given id, 2. move it to target as well and 3. change id of defs and value of url to new, unique value (alternatively you could check if defs with given 'id' was already moved and not move it.) If you have control over how are SVG generated, you can make sure that defs are included within the same group, and make sure all defs have unique id's. Then you just copy the group. I did not have control over SVG, so had to use more complex approach. Peter Bozek Appreciate, > John… > > > > Just use a XML commands and copy the node to another SVG files.
