Positive Media Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Wondering how to collapse/flatten these elements into separate standard vector shapes. I'm exporting them as separate .svg pieces for a 3D project but those curves/masks or whatever they are are causing issues. I can't Rasterize because I lose the vector nature of the layer. I didn't make the file, I was given an eps file which I brought into Designer to break out into .svg layer files. Still pretty new with Designer.

JFisher Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Hi Positive Media! Welcome to the forums!You will need to release the mask, to do this right click the mask and 'Release Mask' then select the objects together and (with the ALT key down) intersect the layers which will create a compound layer.If this does not help, feel free to PM me your file so I can take a closer look.Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Positive Media Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Awesome, thank you Jack. I tried right clicking to find options but unless you right click on the icon, not just the layer piece that option doesn't show up. Worked perfectly.

TeeJayR Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Would still be good if masks would not break the vector export as compound layers can only be created from two primitive shapes, where masks can also be created with groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
