Importing .SVG Into a Part Studio

Can you import .SVG files into a plane in a part studio? I need to make something match an image/logo so I converted it to a .SVG, but I can't figure out how to put it into a part studio so I can do an extrude on it.

There are instructions here about getting your image into a part studio:
https://cad.onshape.com/help/Content/sketch-image.htm
Basically you're going to want to upload the image to your Onshape document, start a sketch, and click the "Insert Image" button (which looks like a mountain with an arrow pointing at it. It may be hiding behind the "Import DXF button"):
We don't currently support the SVG format for this, try converting to PNG. We'll have that help page updated soon to say which formats are accepted!Jake Rosenfeld - Modeling Team5

- In Inkscape, Open the SVG
- "Save As" with format "Desktop Cutting Plotter (AutoCAD DXF R14) (*.dxf)", then chose "mm" as Base unit and "UTF-8" as Character Encoding.
- In OnShape, create a Sketch
- "Insert a DXF or DWG file"
- Click "Import..." and select your file.
You should be good to go from there!I love Inkscape, but inserting it in this workflow is unnecessary. SVG is a 23yo format.
