[Why is Affinity Designer Rasterizing Masked Groups when Exporting to SVG?]

You're welcome! Yes, it is a bit odd why applying the effect on group results in rasterization, maybe there is some logic.. But I just updated my latest post, noting how the mesh parts can be arranged in groups, or kept in layer layers as they were in your file, and still be produced as vectors, as long as the transparency gradient is applied on the cruves and not the group...

Ok. Thank you 🙂

You might have need to keep the mesh as components, but if not, then merging the parts and applying the transparent gradient once for the mesh, and second time for the bottom fill would make this compact.

I totally forgot I can merge the curves. Thanks for that 🙂 In the meantime I solved the issue in Inkscape where the mask works without a problem

Would applying the Transparency tool effect multiple times on layers composing a group resolve the problem?

thanks for that. I am not sure if the situation is the same. I have a lot of layers and need to apply the same mask to all of them

Maybe this thread shows a solution 

 

thanks for this. Transparency tool was new for me. This works on curves, for example, but it is still rasterized if applied on groups (which I need)

please use the Transparency tool, rather than Pixel masks.

 

this works on curves for example, but the issue still persists on Groups. They are rasterized if transparency tool used

[Affinity Designer: Export as SVG rasterizes Mask]

I have the same issue with gradient mask without transparency. Just black to white radial gradient and it is also rasterised. Is there any workaround?

[Slices export setup options]

Hey. I want to export all (grouped) layers separately in export persona and want each layer to have Adjustment applied (the adjustment is set on whole group). 

I have read that it might be possible through Export setup options. I found this page (Export persona), where it seems it is possible to change Export setup options (Page, Slice, Slice(from item)), but I don't know how to achieve that.

Would you know how to achieve the Adjustment applied to all exported layers?

 

 

[export cuts off SVG in Designer]

I am not seeing anything cutoff in the svg you posted. I don't have the font Rubik so that may be a problem.

I see. When I export it with text to curves, then it is ok.  It probably counts the space for font wrong.

Just now, LibreTraining said:

In Firefox the SVG looks just like the original file.

What application are you using to view the SVG?

 

The issue was there even when opened in Affinity Designer. You have to have the Rubik font (https://fonts.google.com/share?selection.family=Rubik) though.

[export cuts off SVG in Designer]

I am using Designer v 1.9.2.1035 and when I export the attached image to SVG (for export) it cuts out part of it as can be seen in the SVG attached. This issue does not happen for PDF for example.

Is this an issue, or am I doing something wrong?

[Shapes looks pixelated in Designer when edit in Photo used before]

Not sure what was before, but I guess same as after, which I am attaching. There is live filter though

[Shapes looks pixelated in Designer when edit in Photo used before]

I switched to Photo for a bit to make one of the shapes into perspective (as in Designer I can't do that). When I came back to Designer, al the shapes seemed peixelated at zoom. When I deleted the one shape which had perspective, everything became normal again.

[Increase Precision?]

The calculations are done with internal precision, and then rounded for display. But if you increase the number of decimals displayed you'll see the field update, which shows it had the full internal precision.

Make sure you're not typing anything in the field after the first calculation. Or if you are, makes sure it's just "/3" or "*3", not 1.5/3.

Thanks Walt. This works! Just need to do this even with the first calculation (if you by the chance meant me making division or multiplication)

Hi Kobold,

It's already possible to choose the number of decimal places you want to display with the latest Beta. You can get it from here (usually pinned at the top).

You can find the settings in Affinity Designer Beta ▸ Preferences, User Interface section, Decimal Places for Unit Types.

Hello. Maybe there is an issue with the units. When I do calculations in any of the fields in Transform panel, it calculates the result from the rounded numbers. For example I have Width 1.54mm (displayed 1.5mm) -> I divide it by 3 and then multiply by three. The result there is 1.5mm (the actual width of the shape is visible smaller) and should be 1.54mm. Better precision in settings helps with that, but I would expect the calculations would be done with internal precision (20 places as you mentioned).
