How can I export a figure to *.svg?

I'd like to export a figure as *.svg. Thus I'm trying:

File -> Export Setup -> Export

and chooses type *.svg. But this does not work. I obtain the following error message:

ERROR: Error using ==> hgexport at 858
Error using ==> graphics\private\prepare at 307
Error using ==> <a href="error:D:\MATLAB\R2007a\toolbox\matlab\graphics\private\prepare.m,100,1">graphics\private\prepare at 100</a>
Error using ==> graphics\private\prepare at 41
The SVG device option is only supported for Simulink systems.

The ability to export a figure to SVG file is not supported in MATLAB 7.4 (R2007a). A possible workaround could be found on the File Exchange:

You can use the print function to export to svg.

fig = gcf;
print(fig,'MyPlot.svg','-dsvg');
