Feature Request: Set Slice to Canvas Size button


Recommended Posts

One of the reasons that I've not fully moved from Illustrator to Designer is getting assets from Designer into After Effects which requires jumping through too many hoops. 

Currently setting each layer to a slice to export individual vector files (EPS for After Effects compatability) crops the slice to the size of the layer/asset meaning importing into After Effects requires manually rearranging everything in the scene again.

If we could have a button which says something along the lines of 'Set Slice to Canvas Size' then the individual vector files could be loaded into an After Effects composition and be in their correct relative positions.

Right now my workaround is to put a 0% fill box the size of the canvas on every single layer and then auto slice. On a complex scene with hundreds of layers, this is obviously not feasible.

Thanks!

when is this going to be added??? this should have been a functionality years ago!

Serif does not comment on when or even if a feature will be added. The closest to that is through a beta release. Several years ago, they did provide a roadmap. They stopped doing so when members felt the roadmap was set in stone, something Serif must adhere to. Just because members request or suggest things does not mean they're even entertaining it. According to a Serif staff member from a post I read recently This is not a democracy. We are a private business.
