Thanks Barry! I think you meant to link here https://github.com/kamicane/art . Not sure what's happening here but an uneducated guess is that the development of Art has moved along to CommonJs. I'm guessing using Prime with the elements and Art library could be a solution for the future though. This is enough for me to assume that there is no additional need for an SVG plugin since Art has been around (under my radar) for years. What I'll do is streamline the working copy I've got now and perhaps in the future add the diagram manipulation code to Forge as a specific use case instead of as a library for generic SVG handling.
