I am using Affinity Designer to create file to upload into Cricut Explore Air2, to draw embroidery designs on fabric. If I export a png file, the image looks perfect but the Cricut treats each line as an object and outlines it - not what I want. I want a line drawing. After hours with Cricut tech support, I discovered that by exporting my file as an svg, the single line problem was solved, however, the image broke apart into single strokes and scattered over the page. I tried grouping elements in layers and then grouping all the layers together and the file arrived partially intact and the rest scattered and chaotic. I am attaching 2 screen shots. the first is the png file that is plotted as an outline by Cricut. The second is the way the file looks when uploaded as an svg file. (I know why some of the circles are filled in and know how to fix that) If anyone can advise me, I would be so grateful.
