Glassdraw Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I’m new to AD on iPad.... I imported an image from Procreate and then drew my vector work over it...it won’t export as an SVG (or anything else) it just says generating image forever. I successfully exported another image as SVG so its not my device. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong. I couldn’t find a solution on the forums.

Glassdraw Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 I’m aware that there is no auto trace, but I thought you could manually draw on top of a raster image to end up with an exportable vector image. I’m a wrong about this? Thanks for any advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can do that. I suspect the technique you used to draw what is in effect a simple drawing, has resulted in the production of so many curve layers that the iPads ram is unable to cope. I will be interested to read what the mods say is the issue. in the meantime I did a quick version using pen tool. Small file with around 15 layers. SVG no issue. wolf rework.afdesign Paul Mudditt 1 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

Glassdraw Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 Thanks, that’s king of what I figured.... thanks so much for your help, I did another draft using the pen and less layers and it exported fine. You’re too kind! DM1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
