gdl1960 Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 I’m having some trouble with SVG files in Affinity Designer 2. Affinity Designer 1 had an (option) button to open SVG files in layers. Where is that option in AD2? Should I open SVG files in the app instead of placing? Please let me know. Greg Quote

Greg Hi @gdl1960 and welcome to the forums... As far as I'm aware there wasn't ever a specific button in Designer V1 that enabled the opening of SVG files in layers. If the SVG file contains layers, then both V1 and V2 will open the file automatically with the respective layers in place... Logically you would just open the SVG rather than placing it but if you do place it as an embedded file you can then click Edit Document in the context toolbar to edit the file... Are you simply not seeing a layered file when opening the respective SVG file? Is this a file created by yourself or provided to you by someone else... do you know if the SVG file actually has multiple layers?
