ritaadu Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted January 24, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 24, 2020 Hi ritaadu and Welcome to the Forums, Could you post the .afdesign file for this and i'll see what the issue is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritaadu Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 One of many. Thanks. Chanel2.svg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted January 24, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 24, 2020 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.

ritaadu Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 You're very helpful. Is there a way to change this? Chanel.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritaadu Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
