Thanks for the file.
Your document isn't 6500x6500 pixels - it is actually 6500x6500 points. At 300dpi this makes it 27084 x 27084 pixels. It looks like you're exporting out from the Export Persona as well so it will be exporting at 27084 x 27084 pixels. How long did you give the Export Persona export? Mine probably took around 4-5 minutes using an 11" Pro, but it did complete successfully
If you use Document > Export you can actually specify the pixel value you want to export too and the export will be much quicker because of this.
Also remember that point size does not mean pixel size! If you want to use pixels, ensure you set pixel units when creating your document.I did give it 5min and it didn’t work. Maybe there wasn’t enough storage to export such a giant. Anyway, I set it to pixels and it does export as wanted.

Hi AspiringDesigner,
Would you be able to attach a copy of the document you're trying to export please?Again, can’t export it in jpeg best quality and cant rasterize the whole group.

I tried exporting another artwork at 300dpi and it won’t work at all. Only 144dpi...
ALSO, the bug with not being able to copy/paste a group with symbols is still there despite me and probably others reporting it before...

I just created a 6500x6500px @300dpi doc and added a few images. It exports without issue.
Try turning off history as it apparently uses a lot of ram in complex documents. If it exports at 144dpi it may be ram related.
Don’t know if it would help but try selecting all curve layers and use Merge Curves (Edit menu) and see if that helps. It reversible and maintains vector.
Well I tried to rasterizes all the layers and the iPad crashed twice. I don’t think it’s ram related when exporting because the progress doesn’t even make a drop of progress, stuck at zero.
The rasterization crash might be RAM related, but it should still do the job, maybe slower but still. Like maybe rasterize a limited/maximum amount of layers, then rasterizing the rest, and then unite the images. A workaround surely exists.

So if you need 8000 x 8000 pixels change the DPI to 72 if that is what it takes for Designer to output the file and not crash.
DPI is the most misunderstood term I have ever encountered. 🙂
I know it won’t affect resolution I just need 300dpi for printing. Even if it’s so misunderstood that’s what many clients want 😄

The app seems to export with 144dpi, but I still need 300dpi for printing...

Is there a way for me to get it out at 6500x6500 300dpi?

Tried exporting again (without rasterizing) at 6500x6500 300dpi and bar won’t make a drop of progress over minutes. It’s a bug which makes this app unusable, quite literally.

Latest iPad and affinity soft as of posting, iPad 7.
So I tried to export this art into an 8000x8000 300dpi image but the export bar wouldn’t make a drop of progress. I decided to rasterize the whole group of vectors into an image. The progress bar took 5min (Which is understandable since there are so many layers and big image) BUT when reaching the bar at the end, it would stay there for a little and the iPad would crash completely, shut down.
I repeated and same crash after reaching the end of rasterization. Also, for some reason the affinity storage on iPad got an addition 5GB of occupied storage, which disappeared after deleting that 8x8 image.
It’s not a performance issue either, the iPad was cool to the touch. (Gets hot in heavy games)
Im fine with waiting for the progress bar to take a while, but those crashes and inability to export such a big image is bad...

iPad 7, latest iPad and Designer software as of posting.
I chose bold and regular and they seem to be exactly the same, no change. Noticed with other font options for Damascus.

Hi AspiringDesigner
You need to ensure that before drawing your strokes you have the Controller set to 'Pressure' - You can then control the pressure using the graph. Ideally it should allow you to control the pressure even if the controller was set to None - this is something we're aware of! I will get it bumped with development.
Hi Sean,
So I changed the controller to pressure and then moved circle in the graph and nothing. I’ll try redrawing it with pressure set from the get go.

iPad 7, latest iOS and app soft as of posting.
I don’t know if it’s a bug or newbie mistake, but here I am trying to make one end of a curve (made with pen tool) thinner then the other end, and it doesn’t work...

Hi AspiringDesigner,
This is something we're aware of and I believe is caused by the first gen Apple Pencil. I can reproduce on a 1st Gen iPad Pro 12.9" using the 1st Gen Apple Pencil, however it is working as intended using the newer iPad Pro 11" and the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil.
I'll get this bumped with development - you should be able to use your finger with the colour picker however.
I seem to encounter it pretty much everywhere with the color picker plus first Apple Pencil, not just in gradient fx btw.

Oh I get it now, Go back to pen tool and use it’s context toolbar to recolor, but still shouldn’t it recolor from main color button?!

Hi
So I tried to recolor a curve created with pen tool but it only gets color underneath it, help pls.

Yes I just double checked and it is indeed a problem with the first generation Apple Pencil, works with finger!

iPad 7, latest iOS and and affinity soft as of posting.
I tried to gradient a letter with the FX tool, tried to pick color for gradient from pallet yet no option in FX so I tried to color pick, dropping the color pick on colored squared doesn’t pick up the color. Tried to press on the colored circle button on top right corner and it won’t change.
Using the main gradient tool worked, FX one didn’t work color stuff.
Most awful bug I’ve encountered in affinity

Well I didn’t even have 5GB of extra free storage 🙂
