Dini Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone, I'm just confused about exporting my file. I want to export my file as an SVG for others to edit but why when an SVG file is opened it becomes uneditable because it is an image. Whereas before it was in the form of a curve, can anyone help me? Edited August 17, 2020 by Dini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted August 17, 2020 Staff Share Posted August 17, 2020 Hi @Dini, There will be something used like a Layer Effect that isn't supported in SVG but we would need you to attach your .afdesign file in order to see what's happening Dini 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BofG Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 @Dini it's the outline effects mostly, plus some layers have 'passthrough' blending mode. In the layers panel, anything with the little "fx" icon trigger the rasterisation (conversion to an image). Unfortunately it seems you've used the outline effect quite extensively, so it's not going to be a simple fix. stokerg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it seems you've used the outline effect quite extensively, so it's not going to be a simple fix. Oh I see, thank you for the explanation BofG. I need double lines so I enabled the outline effect. Is there any other way to create a double lines instead enabling 'fx' or I just need to not use a lot of 'fx? I'm newbie at Affinity Design.

BofG Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 If you want SVG vector output (so nothing gets converted to an image) then you cannot use any of the fx. Personally I think all of those things should be only accessible from the pixel persona but that's by the by. To get a double lines like you have, you will have to do the following: 1. Add a black stroke to the basic curve. 2. Go Layer > Expand Stroke. 3. Select the first curve again, and set the stroke to your green colour, now increase the size so it shows behind the previous stroke. The stroke panel is by default at the top right of the workspace.
