Hello Jimmy, Well ... thank you so much for your reply ! I just tried it and it works fine :-). I get the black in overprint ! Many thanks for your help !

Hello Jimmy, Thank you very much for your reply and help! I think I have now understood my mistake! I did not pay enough attention to the "document configuration" in AD AND AI !!! It must absolutely be set in CMYK in both softwares (wich is ... logical :-). I have now good results in Illustrator, with "hand made CMYK" and Global colors. ... I think I figured it now 🙂 .... Thank you again for your help. ! ... And now, ... next step 🙂 I would like to have a 100% black OVERPRINT. I did a test with AD Global colors Overprint (with the little triangle up-right). ... unfortunately (of course?) overprint is not respected in AI :-(. Any idea of what I did wrong this time? Best regards, Jean

Hello Bruce, ... well yes, you are right! I did not pay attention to this, ... my document was in rgb. So I did another test saving the Affinity doc in CMYK and export the eps. The result in illustrator is the same ... :-(. The full black is still translated in all channels CMYK. I did a last check saving the Affinity in Grey16, ... and there it worked. 🙂 I get only black channel in Illustrator. ... but it does not solve totally my problem, as it work only with a totally black colored document.

Hello, I am a professional technical illustrator and a new user of Affinity Designer . My illustrations are imported by my clients in Adobe illustrator and Adobe InDesign. I have create an Affinity Designer document with all lines in a Global color 100% Black and overprint. I exported this document as a High quality EPS (300dpi). When opened in Adobe illustrator or imported in Adobe Indesign, ... the 100% black color is replaced by a CMYK composed by a mix of the four channels. (91% Cyan + 78% Maj + 62% Yellow + 97% black). So, the original color composition of Affinity is lost! Can anyone tell me what I do wrong? Is there a way to keep the color composition between Affinity and Adobe? Thank you very much in advance for your help, jean

Hello Affinity, I just bought Designer and until now I am very happy of your software. I am a designer and I create illustrations for the industry. I was looking at the way how to import a DWG or a DXF. I am very, VERY, VERYVERY surprised to see it is not possible. Then I browsed your forum, and discovered this import/export is requested by HUNDREDS of your clients/user sinds 2015 !!!! I do not understand, ... is there ANY reasonable explanation not to be able to import a DWG in Affinity? Technical? Commercial? Moral? Cultural? Please give us a reason why it is not possible. And please find here my request for this import possibility in affinity, to be added to the hundreds others. Greetings from Brussels, Jean
