[Exporting vector file with transparent background]

@h_d nevermind. I found the changes. I've never used that history feature before. You're teaching me a lot. Ha

@h_d Did you send me the right file? The layers look just like the ones I sent you.

@h_d Thank you for this.

You will need to simplify your original significantly.

I switched to Edit in Designer (not sure why you went into Publisher for the second attempt) and ungrouped.

Then, I identified the individual layers by name: Background circle, Lower White Circle, Upper White Circle, Lower Punch Circe, Upper Punch Circle, Lower White rectangle, Lower Punch Rectangle, Upper White Rectangle, Upper punch rectangle.

I changed the fill on the "Punch" shapes to something other than white and changed their blend mode to Normal to make them easier to see.

I changed the fill mode on all the objects to Alternate (even-odd). Some were Winding (non-zero) which initially gave problems with the following steps.

I dragged Lower Punch Circle down to immediately above Background iCrcle in the layer stack, selected both these layers and applied Geometry - Subtract

I did the same with Upper Punch Circle and Background Circle.

I dragged Lower White Rectangle down to immediately above Background Circle, select both layers and applied Geometry - Add

I dragged Lower Punch Rectangle down to immediately above Background Circle, selected both layers and applied Geometry - Subtract

Same process for Upper White Rectangle and Upper Punch Rectangle.

This gave me a single Curves layer with transparency:

I exported this to SVG (purple shape for contrast only.

 

Thank you for this answer and tutorial. I am obviously a novice at this. First, I didn't know there was a major difference between Publisher in the Designer persona and the full Designer program. I've never used the punch tool before so I'm excited to use a new tool. Finally, can I buy this from you.

OK, I have redesigned this logo slightly (attached). I want to know how to convert it to an svg and preserve the transparency. Every time I try to do it, all the layers that are set to erase go back to passthrough. How do you preserve those erase layers when exporting.

I want the file to be export to a vector image like svg or eps. A png is a raster image and the print shop that I'm working with needs a vector file with transparent background.

Is there a way to export a vector image with a transparent background?

Edit: I want the file to be exported to a vector image like svg or eps. Exporting to a png file will not work because it is a raster image and the print shop that I'm working with needs a vector file with transparent background.
