Thomahawk Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 SVG Export needs a complete overhaul. What Affinity Designer (Version 1.8.4, Mac) exports is NOT CLEAN. There are <g transform> all over the place. Compare this to the clean output of AI. Jowday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurstan Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Yes I've noticed that too. I mean it may make sense if it were referencing another object then applying the transforms, but that is not the case. To some degree it would be cool if it did use 'symbols' or 'ref' to handle duplicates of a shape as for complex shapes this could reduce file size. . @Thomahawk ...I just was about to test out SVGOMG clean up of transforms and noticed Affinity Designer has a 'Flatten Transforms' tick box in the 'more' section of the SVG export dialog. SVGOMG may still be your friend https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/ does a really good job of cleaning up SVG files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomahawk Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 Great, thanks. like everything in Affinity, things only come right after consulting, it never offers an easy way. So, it does not need a complete overhaul but just fix the standard settings and a more userfriendly GUI. Nevertheless its svg still need fiddle with the code, to have a specifix px width and height, because most website CMS can not handle % sizes.

Look for a fanboy somewhere else. “When a wise man points at the moon the imbecile examines the finger.” ― Confucius Not an Affinity user og forum user anymore. The software continued to disappoint and not deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
