Tormy Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I created a test file. The supposed size is 165x40mm You find it in attachment "Untitled.svg" Printing it, it's ok. But when imported in other tools, it results way smaller Here below screenshots: Here inside Affinity Designer Imported in INKSCAPE Imported in KiCAD What's wrong please?

Wosven Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Some apps will import at 72 or 96 PPI. If I export your file from AD with 96 PPI, it's nearly the same in Inkscape: By default, it's importing at 96 PPI, perhaps you need to test 72 and 96 for each app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there not a universal way to define the size then 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried already this, it was not working ut I think I did wrong something. Indeed now it works how AFFINITY DESIGNER exports data: <svg width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 468 114" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:space="preserve" xmlns:serif="http://www.serif.com/" style="fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;stroke-linecap:round;stroke-linejoin:round;stroke-miterlimit:1.5;"> Which is wrong! How it must export to comply to declared sizes: <svg width="165mm" height="40mm" viewBox="0 0 468 114" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:space="preserve" xmlns:serif="http://www.serif.com/" style="fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;stroke-linecap:round;stroke-linejoin:round;stroke-miterlimit:1.5;"> hence I can consider this as a bug The final result is correct IF I modify the SVG manually. This bug must be correct asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MmmMaarten Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 This looks very much related to the issue I had with 'new from clipboard'. It would be nice if Serif could start addressing this as these DPI issues are prone to errors and unneeded confusion: Tormy and cyberlizard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
