SVG output size

[MacStitch64]

I love both Designer and Photo.  I use both for all aspects of photography, movie creation, scrapbooking, sewing, and embroidery.  I do have a question about the svg output from Designer.  If I save as svg from Illustrator, that file goes into my embroidery digitizing program and my cutting machine software the same exact size as created in Illustrator.  I can't seem to get that result from Designer.  I get a postage sized graphic that does not even have the same proportions as the Designer file.  Am I missing something in the setup or output settings?

Hi MacStitch64,

 

Would it be possible for you to provide a copy of your file so I can take a look at the export?

The most likely setting to help is File > Export > SVG > More > Set viewBox. Some apps seem to want the viewBox, and some don't.

Any possibility of getting more clarification on this?

 

I have noticed that for some of my SVG exports, Apple's "Quick View" feature shows the file as approximately the same size as it appears in AD, but for others the QV window is much larger & the file's elements may or may not be centered in that larger window. This seems to happen regardless of the export settings.
