Increase size of Inkscape SVG

Question

So, I created this basic SVG using Inkscape. I created a New "icon_32x32", then saved it as "Plain SVG (*.svg)". I embed it into my page with: <embed src="~/Content/images/circle.svg" type="image/svg+xml" />

Just as a test, I wanted to try to increase it from 32x32 to 250x250. I was reading over how to increase the size and thought I was following the steps correctly, but why isn't my SVG getting larger?

Here is the SVG:

Answer 1

You seem to have converted some of the file to lower case which is not valid as SVG is case sensitive.

viewbox="0 0 250 250"
preserveaspectratio="xMidYMid meet">

must be written

viewBox="0 0 250 250"
preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet">

In addition, you've presumably changed both the width/height and the viewBox size when you should have only changed the width/height if you revert the viewBox to `viewBox="0 0 32 32" then it should display larger.

The width/height controls how big the drawing is, the viewBox controls how much area the contents covers i.e. it scales the contents so if you change both you end up with a bigger drawing scaled down i.e. no change.
