monXterious Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 My first project learning to use AD and it won't export correctly. See Image #1. (What it's supposed to look like.) Image #2 (export settings) and Image #3 (what it actually looks like). I tried exporting in jpg, png, and psd, but the dice and coins don't show up in the final exports. I used export persona to export slices and got the same result. The dice and coins are not visible in the slices. Well, image #1 exported correctly when I broke apart the coin and dice groups, but that did not work on the other pages. If anyone knows how to fix this problem please let me know. This is a personal project, but I still have a deadline. Looks like I'll have to use some screen shots to produce the final cards since I'm planning to laminate them tomorrow. By the way this is a remake of a game by Calliope Games called 'Roll For It'. Follow me on Art Station and check out more of my work. https://b_sean.artstation.com Peaceout! B.

Hokusai Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 monXterious, I don't know the answer to your question without looking at your original file but if you are going to print them off, I would recommend that you try exporting your file as a PDF and see how it comes out. Why would you try to export slices if you are going to print it? Slices are normally used on the web and not for print, just curious.

Staff MEB Posted August 16, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 16, 2015 Hi monXterious, Can you provide us the .afdesign file to be checked? If you don't want to attach it here, you can send it (or a dropbox link) to support@seriflabs.com along with a small description and a link to this thread. All files will be deleted after being inspected. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monXterious Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Here's the original file. I tried to output them as slices only as a last ditch effort when everything else failed. I also tried to export a PDF, and the same layers are still not being exported. So MEB if you could please take a look at the file for me that would be very helpful. Thx.

Hokusai Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 monXterious, The file that you uploaded works exports just fine for me (with the latest beta version). Are you using the Mac App Store version or the latest beta? Hokusai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 17, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hi monXterious, In version 1.3.2, If you go to the Export Persona, Layers panel and enable/check the Dice group and the Point Marker groups inside the TopCoins and BottomCoins group, it should work/export as expected. Objects unchecked in the Layers panel in the Export Persona would not export despite not being directly related with objects (and visibility) in the Layers panel in Draw Persona. This bug was already fixed in one of the latest Betas which you can download and install from here and shouldn't give more problems after next Mac App Store update. If you decide to install the Customer Beta, remember to keep the Mac App Store version installed since its needed to run the Customer Beta.

monXterious Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Great! Thanks guys. I am running the app store version, and now I see that the groups inside the groups had visibility unchecked. Glad to see this has been addressed in the latest release. I'll wait for the app store update. Thx again MEB and Hokusai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 20, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 20, 2015 Hi monXterious, The Mac App Store version update (1.3.5) is already available. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monXterious Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Great. I just updated. I'm so glad you guys changed the zoom tool as well. Now if only AD and AP had this feature: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/12351-brush-pressure-controls-opacity/?p=53574 then I could make AD my main paint program. Opacity on brush pressure allows me to use one brush to quickly and easily make gradients in a painterly style. Anyway, thanks for the help guys.
