I'm new to affinity but I've been using illustrator for years
I can see that if i draw with the pencil tool with pressure on then select it and ‘expand to stroke’ the line is converted to a shape (as in convert to outlines in Illustrator) - the thickness where more pressure is applied is visible as on original.
The problem arises when I try to do the exact same thing with a ‘Vector brush’ (not to be confused with pixel ‘paint brush’) . If I use felt pen as brush shape and then select ‘expand stroke’ - which incidentally is available as an option, it just deselects it. And the stroke continues to be a data controlled form - not a simple vector outline (shape).
This is causing me issues as when I try to export the file out to other programs (circuit design space for example) that ‘data driven vector’ dosent crossover.
How to I convert it to just a simple outline vector??

Also totally unrelated question do I have to join the forum ‘separately’ to Affinity account? Although ‘forum & help’ are options on my Affinity account it seems to sign me out and the same login details seem to be unrecognised 🤷♂️
