For some reason I cannot seem to duplicate the following animated (CSS, not JS) SVG with the Symbol Element ?


CSS:
@keyframes offset {
    100% {
        stroke-dashoffset: 0;
    }
}

.svg {
    display: block;
    margin: 2em auto 0;
    width: 40%;
}

.cube-dotted {
    stroke: red;
    stroke-width: 2;
    stroke-dasharray: 2.5;
    stroke-dashoffset: 80;

    /* end animation with final keyframe with 'forwards' to avoid line resetting to start value i.e. nothing */
    animation: offset 5s linear forwards;
}
