Oh, it worked! Thanks @Old Bruce But I am still curious. Would it not be very advantagous to have an option in the svg export to have dimensions defined in the unit set for the document? So if my document is using mm or inches, mm or inches could be used in the SVG. Wouldn't that make the dpi setting unimportant? Kind regards Jens

Hi I am trying to export a drawing as SVG so that I can cut it in a cutting machine. And sometimes I want it to be placed on a printed circuit board. But anywhere I try to use SVGs exported from Affinity Designer 2, they appear with incorrect size. Lets say I set the DPI in Affinity Designer 2 of my document to 72 dpi. I also set type to Print and Document Units to mm I draw a circle of 60mm diameter. I then mark it and export I then try to export it as an svg I exported circle.svg circle.svg Now if I import this in another app, it becomes too small, not at all 60x60mm. Why? I dont know, but looking into the exported svg source code I think I understand what happened. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"> <svg width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 172 172" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:space="preserve" xmlns:serif="http://www.serif.com/" style="fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;stroke-linecap:round;stroke-linejoin:round;stroke-miterlimit:1.5;"> <circle cx="85.539" cy="85.539" r="85.039" style="fill:none;stroke:rgb(255,0,0);stroke-width:1px;"/> </svg> As you can see above, it uses 172 instead of 60mm and the viewport is set to 100%. Why is it not possible to export and svg with true mm or inches?

I dont agree. When buying a software you can usually expect to get bugs fixed, any new operating system incompatibilities fixed etc. At least for 12 months or so.

Very reasonable pricing. But we bought affinity photo and designer 30 days ago for the whole team. Now we get an email that we will not get any updates. We have’nt even had the chance to get started using it fully. Those who bought v1 in the recent 6 or 12 months should get the upgrade for free I think. That would be fair since v1 is no longer updated.
