--- Comment #3 from Regina Henschel <rb.henschel at t-online.de> ---
It was removed in bug 92925 from the UI, but it is still used as internal
format.

Format SVM is a undocumented, proprietary format, and such should not be used
for storing.

Workarounds in case you need a stored svm-file:
1) Open the file in LO5.1.6, that has still export to SVM and is available as
portable.
2) Copy the drawing to clipboard and import it as "GDI" into a Writer document.
That produces a png-file and a SVM-file. To get access to them, unzip the
Writer document and open the subfolder "Pictures". Besides some different
header bytes it is the same as the old SVM export.
3) Make a copy of the odg-file, open it and convert the drawing to "Metafile".
Save the file, then same as 2)

So, in case you do not need a stored svm-file, copy&paste as "GDI" should give
the desired result.

Unfortunately paste with "Drawing format" is currently very buggy. I have not
searched whether your special text problems have already a bug report.

SVG-export has currently the problem, that there is no special SVG-export for
drawings, but all the stuff needed for a slide show is added and makes the SVG
unusable for drawings. But that is a different issue.
