Hellodesigners

@walt.farrell The original issue was about performance. I have a file where there are a lots of Svgs but it is almost unusuable (attached file - Design (2)). So i switched to use Layers and put them on the assets panel (i experienced less lag and there is the search bar to find layer) but what i liked with Svgs was the updatading feature to all the instances and the size of the Svg file which is light so when i duplicate Svgs i faced less freezing than layers. I contacted the Affinity Support and told me that they suspect that the performance issue is related to the numbers of embedded files in one file. But i made a test and created another file with more embedded files and the file is usuable (attached file - Performance issue test - More than 45000 Svgs). For now i don't know what is the cause of this performance issue Design (2).afdesign Performance issue test - More than 45000 Svgs.afdesign

Thank you for your answers and the workaround but i want to put embedded documents because of freezing issue using basic layers and also for the updating feature of the Svg to all the instances when a change is made (like what symbols do but accross the application). Is there another workaround? Thank you

Hi, Why can't we put an embedded document in the asset panel? Thank you

Hi, My following question is about a Svg placed as a linked file not as an embedded file. Is there a way to edit it and get all its duplicates updated (as what happen when the svg is placed as an embedded file)? The reason i want to place the svg as a linked file instead of an embedded is to have a lighter affinity designer file Thank you

Hi, I (and also others users) have also a performance issue.

Hi, Thank you for your help. So you think the issue is related to Windows? And on Mac you have absolutely no issue ?

Thank you @shustovcreates When you tested it on the Ipad Pro 2017, it works smoothly immediatly after you opened it or you waited some time?

I tested the file you sent but i'm still facing the same isuse. Is it also the case for you or it is smooth ? Thanks,

Hi, Yes i will send it to you Thanks

Hi mediumcheese Did you find what is the cause of your performance issue ? I contacted the support and i sent them the recording so i'm waiting Regards,

Thank you for your reply. It is a Ui design project and i use Svgs for every elements. I like to use Svg because they are lighter and i can work on isolation + have all instances updated through affinity designer. Here is a video. - The zoom is slow down - I can click on layers on the layer panel - I have to wait some time to be able to use it Thank you for your help Lag.mp4

Hi, Did you find a working solution? Thank you

Hi, Update: What i tried to fix the issue according the suggestions of the members of the forum and the Affinity designer member team. But i'm still facing a slow performance - Disabled OpenCL - Removed Symbols from the document - Closed the Asset panel - Reinstalled GPU driver - Changed the view quality to Nearest neighbour - Updated to the version 1.10.4.1198 Any working solution? Thank you

Hi I have also a performance issue with Affinity designer on Windows Anyone has find a solution ? Thanks
