[How to release clipping masks in Affinity Designer?]

Fantastic, that's exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much for your help! And yes, these files are really a pain, but unfortunately they're pretty standard in the field so I have to rely on them...

I was able to view Callum's video, but it didn't show anything more sophisticated than dragging an object out of a clipping mask in the layers panel.

I can't see that helping with hundreds of clipped objects.

Is your SVG file something you can share? Then others might come up with a viable method.

Thank you Aammppaa, sure, I am attaching an example of the image I would like to process (it's for a scientific publication)

The problem is that - after I ungroup the elements in the figure to modify it (resize, recolor, align...) - they are split into individual curves or rectangles, and each has its own mask. Using Illustrator I could simply use the Direct Selection Tool, but I'm struggling to do the same in Designer. Specifically, when I select more then one object, the bounding box extends far beyond the selected area, and I can't simply align or modify multiple elements at once.

Thanks for your help!

[How to release clipping masks in Affinity Designer?]

Hi all, I'm new to Affinity Designer as well, I have a similar issue with an imported SVG image. There's literally hundreds of masks, and I would like to know if there's a way to release them all at once (the video posted by Callum is not available anymore apparently).

Thanks for your help!
