Yajaira Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) I have a client that can't open her svg file on her Cricut design program on her ipad. The first time she tried on her tablet she got a message saying that the file was not supported, then when she tried a second time, not all the elements of the logo were showing up. I tried opening the design I sent her on my iphone and I had the same issues. Are SVG files made with affinity not compatible with apple products/ios or is there something I'm doing wrong on my end? I send customer support this as an email and I'm also posting it on here to see where can I get a faster response. #TIA 😊 Edited June 8, 2021 by Yajaira word change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you post a screen shot of your export settings, or better yet attach a sample file🙂 Edit: maybe helpful to read this faq for cricut and affinity.

Yajaira Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 I tried saving my file at 72 DPI and the areas of the logo that had an effect on them were not showing up clear. I've attached a copy of my file for further assistance. Thank you! sample file.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you use iOS Files app as the viewer? It appears to be unable to view svg format. I use Document (Readdle) file viewer and can see the SVG that doesn’t show in Files app. Alfred 1 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

I added some elements together turning my layers into curve layers and my client was able to open it in Cricut Designer! What I'm having issues with now is gradient elements not showing up in Cricut Designer. Edited July 25, 2021 by Yajaira typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a different problem than you first had?

Explanation – Pattern fills are fills on shapes that are anything other than flat colors. Color gradients, textures, patterns, images, and photographs are all examples. This prevents Cricut Design Space from separating your shapes into different layers based on the color. Solution – Export your file as a .jpg, .bmp, .gif or .png. This will enable you to upload the shape to Cricut Design Space. The file will not be layered into individual colors like a vector file (.svg or .dxf). It will come through as a single layered object which can then be printed on a home printer and cut out with the Cricut Machine using Print then Cut. I hope this clears things up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
