Thanks for your insight, I've managed to save an Export Preset through the Menu > Export option: Although, when I head to Export Persona > Select my Slices, I'm not able to find the saved Preset under Export Preset dropdown. It's not available for me to select. Is there an extra step to make it show here so I can export multiple slices using this preset at one time?

Hi there, are you able to share the steps on how to do this? Thanks!

Both versions 2.6.2 and 2.5.7 of designer a crashing when I am resaving an old design file. I have needed to revert back to 2.5.6. I have attached file that this is happening to. [A+] [MINT] Design 3 - Custom Shirt Design File.afdesign

Perfect, this worked. Thank you so much!

Hi everyone, I have researched online and I simply cannot find an effective solution for this- I am sure there is an efficient solution out there. I have purchased a new laptop and need to move all my fonts from my old Computer to my new one (windows to windows). These are a mix of TTF and OTF files. These fonts are not "add-ons" - they have been installed onto the computer. I have searched program files but cannot find the files to copy over. I did also see on a post regarding a migration tool, but it was a very old post. What's the quickest and best way to do this?

Hi all! Thanks so much, this had worked for me! Just one extra question, is there a way to enter dimensions only once and have it apply to all selected slices? Sometimes i have multiple artboards to export, for example I had 3 in this example and entered the dimensions manually for each. It would be great if there was a way to enter it for one and it apply automatically for the rest:

Hi everyone, Is there a way to export artboards using Export Persona at different dimensions? For example, I have multiple artboards at 6000x6000px but want to export these at 2000x2000px. We want to keep the large artboard size for the design because once design is final, we then want to export at large size. During revisions though, we just want to export at smaller size and if we can do this straight from the software, it will save us having to manually compress files. The reason why we aren't designing with smaller size artboards is because we have had many issues in the past of our exports outputting such low quality and not suitable for high quality print. We've had to redesign into larger specs many times. Hope there's a way to streamline this!

Thanks for the tip! How does Coral Draw & Adobe illustrator work together? Do the programs open the other's files without issues? I am more leaning towards Adobe because most of our suppliers use it and request .ai files! I havent really had to do with Coral Draw but open to options!

Thanks for this! Because of this issue, I am contemplating moving to illustrator to avoid ongoing issues.

The faint logo on the background is no big issue for export - that is just for branding and not needed for print preparation. Our main priority is the design inside the Shirt Template - exporting this so our suppliers can simply grab / edit elements in Illutrator to prep for print.

Hey All! Many thanks for your input. I have exported in many ways with ongoing issues. I am hoping there is a solution but if not, I will need to move onto Illustrator which is my very last resort but this issue makes our design handover processes very time consuming. Here is my usual export settings. In the past, I had no issues, even with more complex designs than this one. But after Designer 2 came out, I've had ongoing issues. Settings: PDF > FOR EXPORT *Suppliers still have trouble opening in illustrator and editing elements for print prep I also have tried the following settings with no luck: - PDF > PRESS READY (same settings as above but changed to Press Ready) - SVG (FOR EXPORT) - EPS (FOR EXPORT)

Hi everyone, For many years I have worked with clients doing complex custom shirt designs. It seems like the last few years and since Affinity Designer 2 was released, I am having more problems exporting files correctly for my suppliers to print and open / edit in Adobe Illustrator. In the past, we could supply our mock ups as a PDF (for export) and our suppliers could open this fine in Adobe Illustrator and prep it for print. Now, complex designs are not completely editable and elements are showing pixellated, gradients do not show properly etc. This even happens sometimes with minimal designs - some elements export pixellated and not to the highest of quality. With this design, we have broken up the artwork and supplied the elements individually on a second page - but this also is not opening properly for suppliers. Here is a screenshot from our supplier: I am wanting to find a solution for this, since i've been tip toeing around this issue for the past few years now. I have exported the following with no luck: - PDF (for export & press ready) - SVG (although suppliers mentioned colours are not accurate) - EPS Hotel Euramo - Custom-shirt- Affinity Testing.afdesign

Hi all, Thank you for all your comments and input! I had changed our QR code to SVG file and this helped a lot with exporting it crisp and clean! I handover these files to a printing team that prints the shirts so I need to provide files in High Quality and also editable so they can adjust things into their template. The team use Adobe Illustrator and prefer .ai file but I can only provide what Affinity exports. If anyone knows which is the best File & Export settings to use, I would appreciate your input! I usually export to PDF with settings: For Export - No compression on images - Allow advanced features. Just curious to see if there are better options out there to ensure my printer has the best file possible for the job! Thank you!

Hi all, All of a sudden my QR codes are exporting very pixelated when in the past, they have exported fine. I am wondering if this started happening after my update as usually I can export a final file as High Quality PDF with no issues.

Hey Stuart! The file you provided is a cleaner curve! I followed your steps and recreated this and it worked! Thank you so much For anyone following this, just a few more tips that I found: a. Change Colour to black b. Rasterise c. Scale Down d. Copy into inkscape e. Convert back to vector (by going to Path > Trace Bitmap > apply settings on right sidebar) *Simplifying the curve may help clean things up too by going to PATH > SIMPLIFY f. Paste back into AD Thanks everyone for your help!
