Transfer vector data from ADesigner to InDesign via Clipboard


Recommended Posts

In the FB discussion forum, I tried to help with question "how to transfer vector data from ADesigner to InDesign via Clipboard". Unfortunately, even after turning "Copy items as SVG" on, InDesign still takes rasterized data (bitmaps).

Does anyone have any experience or advice?

Transferring vector data using Export and Import also does not work, because the data transferred in this way is attached as a linked document and cannot be edited directly in InDesign, which is necessary. It is said that it works without problems when transferring data via Clipboard from Illustrator.

You can definitely copy and paste from Illustrator into Indesign. For basic things this would be no problem but obviously the more complex the more issues you could have. 

I never do this though, I prefer linked working files opposed to embedded files. I did just try a simple vector file in Designer and copied and pasted it into Indesign. It is no longer editable as you said. I would think this is probably due to the fact that Indesign cannot work with Affinity files. Even a saved Designer file cannot be placed in Indesign. Why are you wanting to edit vector images right in Indesign?
