Hello Mick, so our problem is solved and I would like to thank you very much. It is a great pleasure for us to work with Affinity programs. I still have one question. Will there be a dxf export in the future ? We work a lot with milling and need files in dxf format. At the moment, unfortunately, we have to take the detour of exporting a file created in Affinity as a pdf or eps, importing it in another graphics software to create a dxf file from it. Kind regards and thanks again Willi Hoffmann

Musterexport aus 1106.pdf

We use Posterprint from Ergosoft version 15 But the effect can be checked quite easily. Export file from Designer 2.0 as pdf and then import it again in the line view the double line will then be visible. By the way, this effect does not exist in version 1.106. Here the line remains simply, as it should be

The rip wants a line executed in a global color with a specific name e.g. CutPath only so the rip can recognize which line is not to be printed but cut

The rectangle was only used as an example, Of course, any shape can appear as a cutting line. For example, a coat of arms shape or a heart. The coat of arms or the heart should be cut out after printing. By a plotter or by a cutter. If I give the contour no width it will not be exported or am I doing something wrong?

Double lines to export If a rectangle is exported, e.g. as a pdf, a double line is created. This becomes noticeable when the file is loaded into a rip and the rectangle is to serve as a shape for a cutting plotter. The plotter will run the shape 2 times. There will be two lines at the distance of the line width. This unfortunately makes the graphic unusable for printing in connection with a cutting plotter.

Hello Gabriel, I´m very happy it works great. Thanke you so much

Hello Gabriel, In the attachment I have created example files. The surfaces should be plotted. Thus, I have given the lines the color magenta and named the color name CutPath. After exporting as pdf, posterprint can not find the color name. Thanks again for the help. Greetings from Willi test.pdf test.afdesign
