Exporting SVG

[ritaadu]

Please forgive me if this question has been answered and I simply don't see it.  I'm not a "techie" and I'm brand new with using Affinity Designer.  With that being said, I'm creating images and exporting them as SVG to incorporate into my circuit designs.  Cricuit Design space does not acknowledge these.  Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Hi ritaadu and Welcome to the Forums,

Could you post the .afdesign file for this and i'll see what the issue is

One of many.  Thanks.

Hi ritaadu,

Can you post the .afdesign file.

The SVG is opening up as an image, so i suspect its been rasterized on export and that will be why Cricut Design doesn't like the file, as from my understanding they want a vector file.

You're very helpful.  Is there a way to change this?

You'd have to Convert the text to curves which can be done by Right clicking on the Text and selecting Convert To Curves.  

The logo, you'd have to create that as a vector object, which you could do using the Pen Tool to trace the design and apply a fill.  If you then go to Export>SVG and click on the More button, make sure Flatten Transforms is enabled, along with Relative coordinates and upload that to Cricut, you should find it works fine

Let me try to see if I understand what you're saying.  I'll update you on my progress.  Is there a video that shows how this can be done?  I really am an amateur with big ideas.
