dcrawford Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 As the title says, I created a layered design. I would like to export the design just as I am viewing it on the screen with the mask layers intact. When I export it ignores all the masks and exports all SVG images. In addition it exports everything beyond my document size. Attached is an example of my design and the SVG it exported.

dcrawford Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 I am making the assumption this screenshot would be what you are looking for and not the export persona. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcrawford Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 yes that is what I posted. I had not messed with anything else. I clicked into export persona just to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well couldn't take a look into your v2 ADe file structure (layers) as I use v1 an sadly can't open newer version files. - But make yourself first clear how SVG works and applies masks in contrast to Affinity mask layers here ... Clipping and masking - SVG So the Affinity SVG code generator won't and can't export/save SVG code in such a manner that an afterwards reimport of the SVG file (via the Affinity SVG parser part) back into Affinity will retain the same layer structure back.
