kochy25 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 The SVG files created in AD appear too small in other programs (Silhouette) and the line styles are no longer created. various export options do not change the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without this information we cannot help you.https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/72-report-a-bug-in-affinity-designer/ Today evening I will make some screenshots to display what I mean step by step. Yesterday made some experiments with AD, inkscape and the silhouette studio (for the plotter). I have made a vector design in AD - Export to several formats: svg, EPS... And try to open that files in inkscape and Silhouette Studio. The SVG file looks in inkscape like in AD, Same size, same lines - page size:A4 In silhouette Are the page shrinked from size A4 to a small space 2x2 cm. If I save the file from a.D - opened in inkscape - in SVG Format without doing any changes - I can open the file in Silhouette Studio and the page appears samewise as seen in AD. Same Name, same file format - only saved by an other Programm. I will make screenshots from AD as soon I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kochy25 Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 I am not really Shure, that the problem is a export Problem from AD or an import Probleme from Silhouette. But the file from inkscape works in the studio wery well - so I guess the problem at affinity designer. My laptop is on Win7. The designer runs normal on the system I think.

v_kyr Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 You should provide SVG sample files generated from Designer and Inkscape (if those work) too here then, so they could be compared against each other. in terms of generated SVG code contents.

kochy25 Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 So i have done my Homework. AD_file.jpg shows the File in AD. Export_window.jpg shows the export screen. I have tried Several options with all the same Result in Silhouette. File_View_browser.jpg shows the file from AD in Browser Window. File_in_Silhouette.jpg shows the appearance of the AD File in the Studio after "import" . Save_SG.jpg shows the next screen after the Export Screen. SVG_Text_view.jpg shows a part of the AD File in Texteditor. SVG_text_view_inkscape.jpg shows a part of the SVG from Inkscape i have saved without changes. Inkscape_view_schows the AD File opened in Inkscape. SVG_file_inkscape_in_silhouette.jpg shows the File i have saved in inkscape opened from AD. Inkscape_page_setup.jpg you see, that the page is at Din A 4 Size. I hope i dont have forgotten something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Well I for my part meant previouly with "...generated SVG code contents" the SVG-files themself and not just a JPG or any other bitmap screenshot from that! - Aka the files ... affinity_generated.svg inkscape_generated.svg See also related to that Silhouette software the following threads ... Affinity Designer SVG import to Silhouette Studio Challenges Silhouette Cameo cutter and Silhouette connect ...etc...

Staff Sean P Posted February 18, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 18, 2021 Hi Kochy25, Thanks for the files - unfortunately the Free version of Silhouette Studio doesn't allow for import of SVG so I cannot really investigate much further. However comparing the two SVGs I can see that Affinity is outputting the SVG header like this: <svg width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 2480 3509" Where as Inkscape is outputting it like this: <svg width="210mm" height="297mm" viewBox="0 0 210 297" I presume Silhouette is detecting the mm units and in the height and width and sizing it accordingly, where as ours are exported using pixels as units, so on import depending on the working DPI of the application will give differing sizes. We do have an improvement logged to allow our SVG exporter to retain the document's units on export instead of relying on pixels - in which case I believe would solve this particular issue. Unfortunately as I don't have access to Silhouette Studio with SVG I cannot suggest anything that will help you work around the issue. I will pass on your comments to development and get that improvement bumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will pass on your comments to development and get that improvement bumped. Its clear to me now, why the ad file is looking so small in Silhouette. I have switched and will take export to EPS in Future - that works fine in Silhouette. I will be glad to hear/see that little problem changed in further Updates.

smlsvnssn Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 If you're looking into svg export and compatibility problems, please have a look at this thread as well. TLDR: Don't use percentage values for width and height, use absolute values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
