Macsolver Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Hi, Examples attached: "Original PDF and as opened in Affinity Designer 1.PDF" is as the original CAD export and opens as expected in Affinity Designer 1 "Same file as opened in Affinity Designer 2.pdf" - same image as above opened and exported out from Affinity Designer 2. It is mangled on screen and as exported. Red lines and red hatched square have changed position in the element stack order hiding them. Affinity Designer 2.3.0 Mac OSX10.15.7 Original PDF and as opened in Affinity Designer 1.pdf Same file as opened in Affinity Designer 2.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macsolver Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 Hi, Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate how to fix the issue. I found this problem in the middle of a rush job so I just used the age old solution of swearing loudly and profusly then went back to the previous software version !

Staff Dan C Posted December 8, 2023 Staff Share Posted December 8, 2023 Thanks for your report @Macsolver & welcome to the Affinity Forums! I can confirm I've been able to replicate this issue using your files (many thanks for providing these) and therefore I've logged this with our development team to be investigated further. In the meantime, I'd recommend opening the PDF in V1, then saving the .afdesign file and opening this within V2 directly, rather than importing the PDF file, in order to maintain the correct layer structure. I hope this helps Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!
