Create slice of entire object while using small canvas

[firewater]

Say I have a 500x500 object on a 250x250 canvas. When I make a slice of it, only the parts seen within the canvas are rendered, out of canvas parts of it are cropped out on the exported image. How can I export the full 500x500 object, without having to place it on a 500x500 canvas?

Which Affinity application are you using?

If you have a 250×250-pixel artboard which has a 500×500-pixel layer in it, if you go to the Layers Studio in the Export Persona you can open the artboard to select the whole 500×500-pixel layer for export with “Create Slice”.

Note: If you haven’t got an artboard in your document then I don’t think you can get the whole 500×500-pixel layer as what’s outside of the document size doesn’t really ‘exist’ for export purposes. (I’d be happy to be proved wrong on this.)
