Ok, that's helpful. I went to document setup and changed the Objects will: to rescale from Anchor to Page. Then I changed the DPI to 2000 x 2000 from 1024 x 1024 and it enlarged as expected. When I then selected the entire drawing and used the lower right handle with the Shift key depressed, and began pulling down and away, the same cropping effect happened. Interesting.

Ok thanks. I see the same thing happens with an SVG version of the file, however I don't see any cropping masks, just 6 layers that contain the individuals shapes of the logo.

I just purchased Affinity Designer yesterday and opened a few of my files that were created in Illustrator CS6 - two were PDFs and the others ai files. I noticed that when I selected the entire drawing (all objects in the drawing) and held down the shift key (thinking it would maintain proportion as it does in Illustrator) and pulled on a corner to expand the size, the extents would expand, but the contents quickly began to disappear from the right edge and bottom. In other words, the drawing didn't get larger as expected. What am I doing wrong? Is there another way to increase the scale of a drawing? This is the main reason I used illustrator to create vector logos so I could rescale without losing quality. I generally like the interface of Designer, but I can see there is going to be a learning curve. Thanks, Erik
