Affinity Designer - SVG Object size issue


Recommended Posts

It's September 2020 and I am having the same issue.
I exported a shape as SVG, interpreted by "Shaper" (computer mill) software as about 3/4 size
- when reimported into the original file it is about 4x the size
- if I open both and copy-paste the original into the SVG, the size is identical and it jumps right into place
- when I open two SVG versions (both not scaled) copy-paste one into the other, they are differnt size - no idea where from.
- opening SVG's, they are always measured in pixel. Could be anything, but why pixel?
I cannot think of a way processing them to maintain the correct size.

I hope for deliverance soon.

I guess it is the same as in


and

That's why I mentioned the date. I've looked through the specifications of SVG and don't understand at all, as in AD are no tools to adjust frame size or else.
As far as I remember, I've done similar conversions with Corel without such mess. Will try on my fablab's computer.

This concerns Affinity 1.8.4 Mac / OS 10.14.6 / MBP 10.1 Retina

If you open an Affinity exported svg  with a text editor you'll see this

<svg width="100%" height="100%" 

Try changing it to the size you actually need eg <svg width="10in" height="254mm"
