I would like that when I copy-paste an object from Designer to Figma, it shoud remain a vector rather than being converted to an image. Note: with Illustrator it remains an (editable) vector, very useful.

I just tried to paste a vector image into Figma to see if the annoying bug that resulted in the pasted object being rendered as a 1px x 1px image nested into three layers of groups is still present. I pasted the test graphic and voilá, there was an image at a proper size, not buried into several nested groups. I was elated! But then I realized that the vector layers have been rasterized into an image layer. Huh?! Serif, please fix this. Interoperability with Figma is important. Please fix the 1px bug and find a way to keep the pasted vector object in vector curves. Edited to add: I just did a test by exporting an SVG from Designer 2 and dropping that into Figma. It's behaving like a copy / paste from v1. The 1px issue persists, and the graphic is still nested in 3 layers of groups. Going through the export persona in order to maintain vector curves on top of dealing with the 1px size and groups is majorly cumbersome.

Hello, Anyone got any experience of importing SVGs from Designer into Figma or using copy and paste from Designer to Figma? I can import a mockup created in designer into Figma with drag and drop, the only problem I have encountered is I seem lose pattern (bitmap) fills. Anyone know if is possible to retain pattern fills wehn importinn the SVG into Figma? In Designer preferences I have 'copy as SVG' selected but when I copy and paste from Designer to Figma everything is pasted as a bitmap. Thanks

Affinity has nice feature "Copy as SVG" to clipboard. But unfortunately it doesn't work with Figma at all, everything is copied as 1 px layer. I know there is a checkbox in settings that allows for nice export, but could it be possible to fix this checkbox in clipboard copying also? It's very tedious to export every object manually with Opt-Cmd-Shift-S.
