Scale SVG export


Recommended Posts

I use an SVG format for a CNC (Shaper Origin).
I found a scale problem when exporting to SVG format.
If you create a square of 100x100mm (1181.1x1181.1 pixels) in a document in millimeters and then export in SVG.
When you open the SVG file the scale is not good.
The square is 1181.1x1181.1pixels, but when you change the document to millimeters the square is 416.7x416.7mm.
It seems to me that this problem was solved in version 1 of Affinity Designer.

The exported SVG is at 72 dpi, perhaps forearmed with that knowledge you can work at 72 dpi instead of the 300 dpi your original 100 x 100 mm original was obviously set to. Or you can change the Export preset to use 300 dpi.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
