Text wrap and multiple .svg images


Recommended Posts

Hi,

There appears to be an issue with text wrap around multiple .svg images whereby the text wrapping settings of a second placed image is either ignored or only partially applied. The issue does not occur if a .png is used instead.

This can be observed in my last post in the thread 

I am running on windows 10 with the late and AP 1.8.3.641

Thanks,

Hi @Lemonsprig,

I logged the issue where the wrap applied to the master group breaks the already existing wrap inside a child group. 

If you attach the SVG  you used for that original file, we can have a look and see what's going on. Wee have had some issues in the past caused by transparent areas in SVG, and this might be related to that.

You're using a different SVG here(Clock3) and not Clock2. But I'm not entirely sure that's the issue, as I could see it being wrong with your previous document. Any chance you can attach a screen recording of your workflow? I feel like I'm missing a step, as I can't replicate it from scratch.

Hi Gabe,

sorry for the delay I got busy in work. I am however at a complete loss, as in trying to prep work out the how to screen record, i went through the steps but no matter how often I have tried to re-create the issue it now appears to be working correctly. Which is completely baffling as i know I am doing the same steps, including that as used in the document earlier. Which was simply

1. Drag out a text frame

2. select text -> insert > filler text

3. Select place image -> navigate to and select first image (sometimes this gives the icon to drag out the image, othertimes it places it inline, in which case I unpin it)

4. With image selected select text wrap, change to square and set a 3mm border on all sides

5. Select place image -> naviate to and select second image

6. With image selected select text wrap, change to square and set a 3mm border on all sides

I will go through the process again a little later as I have done the same a number of times over the last few days and encountered the issue, So I have no idea why it is behaving now. I will pay attention to the process and if it occurs again I will let you know and try and get a screen recording.

I more than curious to see the file Clock3.svg. Maybe inside is some kind of box information missing as it wraps only a small "amount"? Although Clock3.svg is missing the wrap behaves weird, if you use "Edit Wrap Outline" on this object.

Hi @Gabe @Joachim_L,

I think I have started to get somewhere with this. The particular issue seems to actually occur only when I am using clock3.svg. It was happening with another image but I changed that and overwrote it and I think this had led me to think it was happening for all .svg files.  I spent a bit of time last night swapping different images in and out and I am happy that it only occurs when using clock3.

both clock3 and clock2 (and most of the other images i have used) are screen captures using the windows snipping tool, which are then opened in Affinity Designer with a black stroke applied to the image to provide a border.

I have attached a copy of clock3 to this  email but as the base image is essentially a .jpg there is not much to see when looking at the underlying xml, although I am no expert so you might see something different.

I was only exporting as .svg as I thought it would help with file sizes and scaling, although as this is not a complete vector image I am not entirely certain it would make any difference.

When I am removing the defs-part in Clock3.svg and place again, text wrap behaves normally.
