Hi,
In exporting svg's I've found how to apply id's to my groups (layer.name) and paths, yet can't figure out what to do to simply give the exported svg tag itself an I'd that I can refer to as an element. 
I tried paper.project.name = 'mySVG';
no dice.
Any knowledge on how to achieve this?
Thanks!

Hi,
You should use the item `name` property for that.
Here is a sketch demonstrating it.

const item = new Path.Circle({
    center: view.center,
    radius: 50,
    fillColor: 'orange',
    name: 'myCircle'
});

const svg = item.exportSVG({ asString: true });

console.log(svg);
