Akreative Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Hi people, The ability to export DXF/EXD files would be a big add on for a lot of people using Illustrator instead of Designer. I would really LOVE this feature for Designer. Currently I have to use my old CS5 Illustrator version on my PC to do this! If anyone is working with laser cutting programs or export for designs to be cut into those programs you'll know what a headache it is! My wife and I have our own business where I frequently design products for laser cutting. To have these file formats supported by designer would SAVE me and other designers a lot of time and love Affinity so much more than what we already do! Please Affinity team... can you add this? Would really appreciate it! Any takers on this? KG17 and IngeFromHolland 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would really appreciate it! Any takers on this? I tried to simply change the extension from SVG to DXF and it worked, I could open the DXF file in Silhouette Studio. On the mac you can easily use automatior to batch-process this. It's still an extra step from exporting, but I guess it's faster than manually opening and exporting each document. Hope this helps!
