DWG and DXF Export
lowerider replied to Ash's topic in [ARCHIVE] 2.5, 2.4, 2.3, 2.2 & 2.1 Features and Improvements
Thanks for including this export file format! In addition to working on projects destined for digital/offset printing, I also work in CNC machining (mainly part fabrication in aluminum and steel). Some of my CNC projects involve engraving using a mill or CO2 laser. In the past I used Inkscape to create DXF/DWG files for engraving designs. I'll be trying out Designer's exported DXF/DWG files with my CAD-CAM apps to produce G-code for the CNC machines I use. -

I can corroborate Photo 2.1.0.1709 (Customer Beta) crashing when I try to use the Overlay Paint Tool on a RAW (Nikon NEF) file in the Develop Persona. After selecting the Overlay Paint Tool, Photo crashes as soon as I begin "painting" with the brush. This crash does not happen when I use the same RAW file(s) with the current Photo release version (v2.0.4).

I use IrfanView to quickly view raster image files. In the past, I was able to point IrfanView to the V1 EXE files for Designer (and Photo) for editing. With V2 I am unable to locate those EXE files. Will using MSI installers restore the Affinity app installations to where I can point utility graphic file viewers (e.g. IrfanView) to the Affinity app EXEs so they can be launched from utility file viewers (e.g. IrfanView) and load the viewed image file? My V2 apps are currently at v2.0.3. (Apologies if my question comes across rather "convoluted".)

I use all three Affinity apps (Designer, Photo, and Publisher). The crashing when typing in font names happens in all the apps. It seems to be connected with updates that include .NET 3.5 and 4.8.x. I'm running Windows 10 Home (21H2, Build 19044.2193). I've found two ways to avoid these crashes. METHOD A Position the cursor at the beginning of the current (highlighted) font name. Enter the name of the font needed or to be searched for. Then press and hold the "delete" key to remove the current font name (to the right of the cursor) A list of new fonts will be presented and the app does not crash. METHOD B Uninstall the update(s) that contain .NET 3.5 and 4.8.x. Reboot (restart) the PC. After rebooting the system, "hide" the uninstalled update(s) from Windows so these updates do not automatically show up again in the future. With Method B, I can overwrite the current highlighted font in the drop-down menu as before with no crash. If/when the issues with .NET 3.5 and 4.8.x are fixed (either by Microsoft or Serif), the hidden updates can be "unhidden". I went with Method B. Now I can work as I have with no crashes in any of the three Affinity apps.

Hi Walt! As I mentioned in my original post, I use local storage (e.g. internal PC SSD/HDD and external USB SSD/HDD) directly connected to my PC; no cloud storage such as OneDrive. I saw the other thread regarding the issues you mentioned with OneDrive but found nothing when the problem happens with storage connected directly to the PC. Thus this thread. I noticed the issue after the update to the current version of Designer. As I mentioned earlier, the problem also happens with the current Photo version. I have not yet worked with the current version of Publisher. - Lowe

Since the update to the most recent version (1.10.5.1342), Designer thumbnails no longer appear in Windows Explorer; just icons. (Seems to be the same with Photo. Have not yet checked Publisher.) Affinity files are being saved to local storage (e.g. internal PC SSD/HDD and external USB SSD/HDD). "Save thumbnails with documents" in Preferences is "checked". Anyone else with this [minor] problem? My PC Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 4700U with Radeon Graphics Installed RAM: 16.0 GB OS: Win10 64-bit

The "Include bleed" ("Inklusive Abschnittbereiche") has always been available in the "Export Options" of the "Draw Persona" in both the stable and current beta release. But this setting only affects PDF exports from the Draw Persona. I often use the Draw persona's "Include bleed" setting to export simple single artboards. When I design and layout things like book covers, I create front, spine, and back artboards aligned together. To create a single PDF file from this type of layout, I use the Export persona PDF settings. This is where the missing "Include bleed" setting is problematic. Regarding your screenshot being in German... No problem as far as I'm concerned. In den 90er Jahren arbeitete ich in Deutschland für eine kleine Firma im Bereich Druckvorstufe. Cheers!

The current beta release (1.7.0.350 RC1) still does not properly export multi-artboard PDF/X-1 files for commercial print. The "printers marks" are created but no bleed area is created. When comparing the "Export Persona" export options of the stable release (1.6.5.135) with the current beta, I see no "Include bleed" option in the beta. Could this be the reason why no bleed is created in the beta's multi-artboard PDF/X-1 file?
