Crop artboard for SVG export

[JokeRat]

Hi Affinities

I have the following issue:

I have an artboard that has vector elements that go outside the artboard.

Now I want to export that artboard as an SVG (in vectors, not rasterized) but limited to the artboard measurements/borders.

When i export it though, it deformes and squeezes/skews everything in a way I don't understand.
Exported as a PNG works fine (I assume it's because it's rasterized).

Wanted result:

What I get:

I just made a test with one single element. (not exceeding the artboard limits)

this is the (same) result:

 

and these are my export settings:

Hi @JokeRat,

Can you attach your test afdesign file?

hi @stokerg

thanks for your reply. i added/edited it in, in my latest posting.

I just realized when I uploaded my latest test file that it seems solved in there and I might have the root of these problems:

I assume this doubled line on the transparency gradient is due to transforming the object after the gradient is set. as soon as I have these, I get the weird behavior. if I reset the gradient, it seems to work fine.

anyone can confirm (that it's not just something different on my end)?

I think you might be running into the same issue as here and transforming the object is giving you the double transparency, which the SVG format can't support.  I've just replicated the behaviour of transforming the object and i got the same as yourself with the double line transparency, i'm going to check if thats expected behaviour, as i can see it could cause problems.

Thanks for your reply stokerg,

It seems like it is how you describe it. But from my point of view that can't be an expected behavior, as it results in unnecessary work, because I have to redraw the transparency gradients for every item when I deform the whole group just a little.

I'd expect it to either deform the transparency with the object (i.e. squeeze it together) or at least leave the transparency as it is. (i.e. don't adjust to the squeeze).
