Ntracks Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 WARNING! V2 has no DXF Export! They make it seem like there is propper DXF support BUT there isn't!

Staff Patrick Connor Posted November 17, 2022 Staff Share Posted November 17, 2022 to all readers DXF Support is IMPORT ONLY @Ntracks In our marketing pages we claim you can work with DXF files. By "work with" we mean you can open DFX files to work on them. We have not written any DXF export and we do not mean that. Sorry that you feel this is unclear. From this page Quote Extremely versatile, delightfully compatible. Combine colour spaces and work with all other major file types, including JPEG, PDF, SVG, PSD, PNG, TIFF, GIF and DWG/DXF.

myclay Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Quote *Extrem flexibel und überraschend kompatibel. Kombinieren Sie Farbräume und arbeiten Sie mit allen gängigen Dateitypen, wie etwa JPEG, PDF, SVG, PSD, PNG, TIFF, GIF und DWG/DXF. sounds the same as the english text but the DXF file format is not mentioned at all under; Professional Colour, Compatibility, and Output Professionelle Farben, Kompatibilität und Ausgabe https://affinity.serif.com/de/designer/full-feature-list/Missing for both german and english website so the customer has zero chance to know for certain if there are export capabilities, it feels like it is implied* but not explicitly written down.

deeds Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 What's the definition of "work with" that doesn't include input, work and subsequent output? To my thinking, and probably most others, seeing "work with" implies in, on and out. If you're not able to export/output a format, you're not, to my thinking, working "with" that format, you're working with a converted version of that format that is no longer that format.

The wording could be better like DXF/DWG (Import Only). I will see if it can be improved deeds and _Th 2 Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

CadFather Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I'm afraid to say, but not being able to export dxf is a BIG let down for me... ...and i think also for you. a lot more people would come on board D2, with a proper implementation Ntracks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeTO Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Serif, the apps' Help pages haven't been updated for the newer formats. For example, webp and jpeg xl are missing from: https://affinity.help/publisher2/English.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Appendix/fileformat.html?title=Supported file formats Quote Download a free manual for Publisher 2.4 from this forum - expanded 300-page PDF My system: Affinity 2.4.2 for macOS Sonoma 14.4.1, MacBook Pro 14" (M1 Pro) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
