I am very sad and disappointed, I thought that Affinity 2 would have improved the export of effects to Illustrator or PDF but it is still as bad. I understand that the effects can't be exported in vector form or with the same system to Illustrator, but why is the vector form also rasterized and not just the effect (for example only the shadow)? When I copy from Illustrator to Affinity Designer the shape and effect are separated into two, the shape remains vector and editable while the effect is rasterized. However when I export from Affinity Designer to Illustrator EVERYTHING IS RASTERIZED!!! WHY!!? I just bought the whole Affinity Designer pack for my company computer but I will not be able to work with affinity.

I am in fashion and footwear design and our manufacturers need the documents in Illustrator. My idea was to start designing in Affinity because I like it better but then switch to Illustrator but due to the bad export I can't do it. For this you don't have to apply reverse engineering, just don't rasterize everything, only the effect. It also happens when exporting to PDF, I attach the files.

pd: This happens on both Windows and macOS.
