  1. Hi, Still very new to Affinity Designer for Windows I think I have quite a lot of the basics figured out.. but I'm not sure I'm going about things in the best way. I am coming from Inkscape, so quite possibly I'm just thinking about things in the old way (i.e.in the way I'm accustomed to doing things). I have created a complex set of objects and layers, which I would now like to save (export as SVG), and then upload the file to a website. It is a mixture of shapes (curves) and some clipped images. In Inkscape, I could resize the document to the size of the layers boundary, but I am struggling to find how to do this in Affinity Designer. What I've ended up doing, after a bit of experimentation, is to select all the objects and then group them. Then I have resized the document (it could also be an Artboard), to fit the dimensions of the group, and then to center the group. Next I remove this temporary group (since I only used it for alignment and to get the overall dimensions). Then I export the layers as SVG. I can do this with a variety of settings. What I want is the smallest file size but the highest possible quality for viewing on websites. The multitude of layers are interactive, so obviously I don't want to choose flatten. Since it is not for printing, I don't want the whole document (and this also makes the file size absolutely gigantic). So I have chosen "selection without background". This is only fractionally smaller than "selection with background". Am I approaching this correctly? Are there some specific tutorials on how to do this efficiently? I appreciate that there are some videos, although couldn't really find the level of detail I was looking for there, and I prefer written documentation on the whole.. The help files seem a bit sparse on the details too. Can anyone point me toward something a bit more detailed? Maybe it's just a case of getting familiar with a different way of working, but right now am finding the process quite circuitous when compared to Inkscape (even though there are a lot of other things that Affinity does much better than Inkscape). Or is this a feature request? The ability to automatically resize the document (or artboard), or "grid" to match the outer boundary of the layers (without needing to group them first).
