Changes to EPS Export

[DonC123]

There seems to have been a change in the EPS export filters. Somewhere after Affinity Designer 2.0, perhaps even after 2.2, I have zero success opening eps files from Affinity Designer in MoI CAD software for 3D extrusion. It just comes in as a huge mess. Any ideas what has changed and if there might be a fix?

Just tried on Mac with the MOI Cad trial and eps imports ok from Affinity Designer 2.3.0

It was a straight EPS (for Export)

If EPS doesn't work (anymore for you) as as an exchange format, try the PDF format instead.

Isn't v2.4.0 going to have DXF export:

Thanks for checking. I went back to my export settings and saw that the default had been changed from EPS (for Export) to one of the digital presets. Setting it back to the first one fixed it for me. Whether I changed the preset at one time or Serif changed the default, I cannot say. At any rate, it is now back to a functioning state.

Good call. I never thought to try with PDF and MoI, which is strange since I use it often with my other CAD programs without issue.

That will be a good addition, since it was nice to get the dxf, dwg import function when they came not that long ago. I have already used those many times. I often like to layout stuff in my CAD program, with its many tools that I enjoy, before bringing it into Affinity Designer.
