[Problem exporting to svg with elements outside canvas]

Apparently not yet…

Other method:

1. in the Layers panel, move the group outside the Artboard layer – i.e. vertically, not with the move tool
2. in the Export persona, delete the default artboard slice
3. create a new slice  that contains the whole area you want to export
4. export slice as SVG

Another method:

1. draw a new artboard over Artboard1 of the exact size you want to export
2. in the Layers panel, move your group into the Artboard2 layer
3. export Artboard2

In other words: artboards are also layers, among others, and behave as such.

Thanks Loukash it worked, great idea with expanding the slice  Maybe you know why the imported svg to ai removes blend modes?

[Problem exporting to svg with elements outside canvas]

Hi all,

I was wondering if someone knows a way to export svg with the content that is outside artboard? I have tried everything but only solution is to expand the artboard which isn't something I like to do.When I have a scene with elements outside the canvas like for example a car I would like to have all of the elements exported not only the visible one

Hi All Affinity geeks , wanted to share with you with some of my Explanatory illustration frames I done inside Affinity Designer.

Hope you like it

[The artboards pixelate when duplicating/moving (Heavy projects)]

Hi Affinity Team,

In 1.7 this was present as well but not as much as in 1.8

So usually when I work I prefer to have all illustrations for animation/explainer in one file. So those projects are heavy usually around 20-40 artboards with textures, gradients and so on.
The attached screencast shows those distortions when I need to duplicate or move/resize the artboard. Sometimes it's fast, sometimes longer and it even crashed 2 or 3 times.

My specs:
Mac Pro (Late 2013)
3 GHz 10-Core Intel Xeon E5
64 GB 1866 MHz DDR3
AMD FirePro D300 2 GB

Tried changing in Performance from OpenGL to Metal but without any results.

Hi Karol Rzadczyk,

We've reproduced the issue where documents were not creating auto saves and have now resolved the issue, which is currently available in the newly released 1.8.3 beta:

 

Hi Sean, great to hear I'll test this asap.

[(1.8.x) A lot of crashed without saving backups]

Hi all,

I'm very frustrated about the new 1.8.x. I'm experiencing a lot of crashes when need to for example copy/paste from Affinity to Illustrator or when export files. Other problem is that in my opinion backups are not saved, I mean files are created but after failure file looks like the one was last saved for example now I have lost 30min of work...

I'm working on 3 different macs each of them crashed at least 2 times in the past 3--4 days:

1. Mac Pro (2013) - Catalina (10.15.3)

2. Macbook Pro (2015) - Catalina (10.15.3)

3. iMac (2011) - High Sierra (latest one)

And none of them was able to retrieve the file changes, last save loaded in all crash.

Please help,
Karol

This sounds like it's falling foul of the new code to help select artboards... I'll ask Ben to look at this straightaway... thanks!

Hope this will be fixed, most loved and used feature by me.

Any updates on this manner?

[How to export from AD to Illustrator to preserve layer names]

Hi Guys,

 

I really love to work inside affinity but because I do illustrations for explanatory videos there is a need to move all those graphics to ai so animator will be able to properly import them inside after effects. At this moment I usually recreate all file structure inside Illustrator because I do not know how to export to eps/pdf/svg or any other vector format with preserving layer structure and names.

 

I'm 99% sure in the earlier version of affinity this was possible, I'm now using the latest version 1.6.1. Could someone help me?

 

Thanks in advance.
