[Is there a way to force curves to become paths when exporting to svg?]

If you really, really want a <path> rather than a <rect>, you can set one or more corners to a small non-zero value. If you type 0.001 into the numeric control on the Context toolbar it will be displayed as 0% but the exported SVG file will include the desired 'path' element.

Interesting approach. I'll go with that until there is a 'convert to curve' option somewhere.

Thanks for the help.  :)

What’s the problem with rectangles instead of paths if they are essentially just rectangles anyway?

I'm saving the path strings to a database and it would save me time not having to manually convert rects to paths.

... and I know Illustrator has that ability and I like Designer more so I thought I'd ask.  :)

It was brought up in this topic: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/16297-any-way-to-force-everything-to-paths-when-exporting-to-svg/

 

Essentially, when I export to svg I want everything exported as <path>'s but I get some <rect>'s even though they are displayed as (Curve)'s.

 

Is there a solution for this?
