Hi @Hangman, I have an additional tip to speed up the process in case one has multiple of these dashed lines. In particular, one can use the style pipette to copy the style (this includes your trick) and paste it to all others. Speeds things up a lot. Best, Eiki

Hi Hangman, thanks a lot for this quick reply and appealing presentation of the solution! This trick solves the issue! Best, Eiki

Hi Everyone, I'm using Affinity Designer 2 version 2.5.7 on Mac. Using the drawing tool, I created a short straight line with a dashed contour. In Affinity Designer as well as in the PNG export (see attachments) everything renders fine. However, PDF and SVG export leads to undesirable rendering artefacts (see Test.pdf in comparison to Test.png). Following the export preview, this is independent of the PDF version used. Thanks for your replies. Best, Eiki minimal_example.afdesignsvgTest.pdf

Hi @Dan C, thanks a lot for clarifying things Actually, the tip with Passthrough and Interpret in the Context Toolbar solved it except for the fonts as you mentioned. Besides, the Context Toolbar allows to adapt the DPI, however this scales with the scaling of height and width and resetting this to original size (with the button), the imported figures are only halve as large (in each dimension) as they are intended to be. As the export rendering does not preserve this blur, this should be fine. Thanks a lot again :)

Hi everyone, I'm working with matplotlib and Affinity Designer V2 on Mac. My workflow is to export my figures with matplotlib and to import them via drag and drop into a large document. However, I have noticed that the imported PDFs are rendered with a specific DPI. This leads to blurry edges of the matplotlib text and figures in comparison to default affinity text. With inkscape, this works fine and yields not difference to SVG files. However, I can't use SVG files in Designer as it can't handle the ones created by matplotlib correctly (text is collapsed to a single position). Is there some setting to increase the DPI of imported PDFs? Also I'm not ask while importing them via drag and rop. Thank you very much for your help! Best, Eiki
