    Thanks MEB!

    Hi everyone, is there a way to restrict the selection of snapping candidates to the current artboard? Thanks!
  5. hubob
    I would also love for this feature to be implemented as soon as feasible. Along with arrowheads (...), an option to resize canvas to selection, and being able to link and not only embed objects - after these I'm all set:)

    Thanks so much for trying this out, JimmyJack, it certainly seems like Prism is to blame with regards to the first point (yes, it was 1/2pt and I exported the pdf); I'll get in touch with the developers there. As far as the second point is concerned: you're absolutely right, this way works to adjust the sizes and it's what I use to do. Since I import a lot of individual pdf's all the time (creating figures with multiple pdf-subpanels) it would be very useful, if AD recognized upon import that the placed file is a pure vector file and thus just recognizes the dimensions, regardless of whether pasting it into a 72dpi or a 300dpi document. With the current way I need to create an intermediary document in which I assign the required dpi value to the pdf before placing it into final document. I wonder which way it works in Illustrator? Thanks again for your great help!

    Hi JimmyJack, this actually is the pdf export from Prism prior to pasting into AD. You're absolutely right - when adjusting the dpi's of the pdf and the AD file the font comes in at 100% but the weight of the strokes is 0.72pt rather than 1/2 pt in Prism (this could potentially also be a problem on Prism's side). On a more general note, I don't understand why AD requires the adjustment of dpi's - a pure vector pdf should just carry dimensions, right? Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for your answer JimmyJack and sorry for taking this long to post the graphic. These are the issues: - after placing the pdf into an AD file I have to manually adjust the dpi of the placed vector graphic to match the intended size; I don't understand why AD does not just recognize the dimensions of the vectors but requires dpi for it? My understanding was that vector graphics don't really have an associated dpi but rather just position cues and dimensions... (i.e., the vector should always be for example 3x4cm regardless of whether pasted into a 72dpi or 1200dpi document)? - after manually aligning the dpi of the placed pdf and the target file the font in the placed pdf is correct (7pt, Helvetica) but the weight of the lines (set at 1/2pt in Graphpad Prism v7) shows as 0.72 pt. thanks for your help! affinity_test.pdf

    Does anybody have a clue on why the import of purely vector graphics require tweaking the dpi and whether this behavior holds true in AI as well? Thanks in advance!

    Hi Leigh, thanks a lot for your answer. Unfortunately, when I do just as you suggested the line width is 0.7 pt while it's set to 0.5pt in Prism 7 (the font size matches, however). As far as I remember this wasn't the case in Illustrator, but unfortunately (for this case...) I don't have it any longer and cannot compare. On a more general note I don't quite understand why the dpi settings matters for pure vector graphics, shouldn't it be sufficient for the import of vectors to provide the dimensions and positions rather than any specific resolution? Thanks for your help, -hubob

    bump - does anyone have a hint at what might be happening here? Thanks!
  14. hubob
    Hi R C-R, thanks for your response! The problem with that (at least as far as I can see) is that it is hard to drag the graphs to exactly match the line widths and font sizes as required (Prism does not show the dimensions of the graph to start with, so I could not enter x/y values to scale but would have to drag the graphic).

    Dear Affinity team, it is part of my workflow to import vector graphics from the statistics program Graphpad Prism into Affinity designer. When I copy a given plot in Prism and paste it in Affinity the vector nature is preserved. However, I found that the size of the graph's components changed, e.g. a 0.5 pt line would end up being a 0.7 pt line and so forth. I found that when I set the document's dpi to 104 the dimensions seem to be preserved, but since I also work with raster images from other sources within the same document I don't want to switch back and forth changing the dpi for the document all the time. Am I missing an obvious solution so AD would paste vector graphics at a given size regardless of the document's dpi settings? Thanks for your help, -hubob

    Dear Affinity team, I would still be interested in an answer to the question above, any help appreciated! Thanks hubob

    Hi all, does anyone have a clue why the raster parts of this pdf get pixelated so badly when I import it into Affinity Designer? Thanks! hubobaffinity_example.pdfpdf_import.tiff

    Great to know you have it on your list!
