    Hi  Ikikuru,

    The 3D layer FX you have applied to your logo is what's causing this as most layer FX will be rasterised on export to SVG. You would need to remove these effects to export a true vector version of your image.

    Thanks

    Ahh, ok, didn’t realise that. Thanks.

  2. Hey guys,

     

    I’ve attached a .svg file. What I’d like to do is be able to is have a play with colouring it with gradients and playing with creating shadows. But at the moment it’s pretty much all one item in terms of selecting it. Also if I try and colour it as is, I can use the solid fill to colour parts separately, but not using a gradient fill. So I’d like to be able to spit it up (mushroom dome, stork, arm etc etc) so that I can colour in and shade.

    I put it into node mode thinking I could break apart section but that didn’t work. Is there a way to do this? Sorry complete noob here

  3. Awesome, thanks. Originally I did use the pen tool to trace the vec outline shape. I then copied it to a new document (outline I had drawn only) and exported as a svg file. Would you know why it then saved as an image layer within an SVG Container?

    Hi @Ikikuru,

    I can confirm that the 'vec outline.svg' file you have provided is an Image layer within an SVG container and therefore not a Vector object - which is why you are having trouble attempted to clip the second file within this.

    Therefore, I would recommend the following:

    • Open 'vec outline.svg'
    • Using the Pen Tool, trace around the image, creating a vector shape
    • Hide/Delete the image layer that is no longer required
    • Document > Place and select the people-design-pop-art... svg file
    • Tap to place this in the document, then using the Move Tool you can scale this as required
    • Finally, in the Layers Studio you can clip the placed SVG file within the object you've drawn.

    I've attached a quick screen recording below showing these steps (less the pen tool trace step such that it is a reasonable length video) - 

     
    I hope this helps!

    and saved it. Would you know why it did not then become a vector file that would achieve what I was looking for?

  4. Hey guys,

     

    I’ve attached 2 images. One is the outline of a cartoon explosion. The other is just a vector. I want to insert the vector into the outline of the explosion and not have the vector image viewable outside the outline. I created the outline using the pen tool on my iPad and exported it as selection only (not whole document) I thought that would be enough, but obviously not as when I insert the vector image, it looks at the whole rectangle, so goes outside the outline.

     

    Am I doing something wrong or is this not possible? Using Affinity designer 2.04

    I downloaded your file and recorded deleting the selection. Not sure if this video will be helpful. You can reduce the video playback speed (icon lower-right on video) to make it a little easier to see what’s going on. 

     

    Really appreciate your help! This is such a great community! Just cooking dinner at the moment, will check this out shortly!
