Hi NathanC: Thank you very much for your reply. Being still relatively new to Affinity products, I had taken notice of the DPI notice that appears when I import a vector pdf document but haven't quite wrapped my head around how a vector has a set DPI since I always think of them of being infinitely scalable. I guess it comes down to how large the components are when they import and show on screen. With this in mind, it makes perfect sense that any mismatch of DPI settings between the asset and the document it's being added to could lead to a reset of line width. It's beginning to make sense, since I am adding the stamp to documents that no doubt vary in dimensional settings, resulting in what I perceived to be a "random" and unpredictable behaviour upon dragging the asset on. As such, it seems to me that the solution will be for me to expand the appearance of the outlines so that their width is permanently baked-in to the assets. I will give that a try. Cheers

I'm a relatively new user to Affinity and thrilled to have found a great alternative to Adobe subscriptions. I am running Designer 1.10.5 on Mac OS 10.11.6 (Mac Pro 2011) and OS 10.15.7 (MacBook Pro 2019) and have been experiencing the same issue on both platforms. I utilize the Assets feature to store the stamps I use for corporate accounting. The stamp consists of editable text elements as well as some outlined text. I note that when I drag the asset to a document (existing or new) it's always a gamble as to what I will see. Designer seems to randomly change the line weight of the outlined text. Sometimes it imports properly at 1 pt., but unpredictably it will change the weight anywhere from 0.4 pt to 4+ pts. I have tried replacing the assets, but the same problem persists. Is this something anybody else has experienced? I'm attaching a sample file below. Accounting Stamp.afdesign

Hi Thomaso, thanks for the link, I will do some experimenting.

Hi Komatös, thanks for the reply. I will take a look at the locale settings in Excel.

Hi Thomaso, I do believe it may have something to do with formatting in Excel. I did successfuly try the Text method, but I am hoping to find a fix so that I can use a date formatted entry instead.

Hello, I recently created a merge document to generate IRS W8-BEN forms. I have two date fields that are formatted in Excel as mm-dd-yyyy. When I conduct the merge, however, the day of month comes in as "00" — e.g. a date shown as 04-01-2022 merges as 00-01-2022. I am attaching the merge file and a sample output here. Am I missing something? Thanks. W8-BEN Factory.afpub 2021 W8BEN Merge Master.xlsx W8-BEN Merged.pdf
