Hello all, I have been given an Draw file and would like to edit it in affinity designer 2.

If I export the file including all layers etc, it does work but it transfers the layer as a whole and no each individual object to edit etc.

Welcome to the forum @danielscott63 Have you exported the draw file as a PDF, this is generally the preferred method from Draw to Affinity.

If is did this, I wouldn't be able to edit all the layers?

A PDF should maintain layers but if not also try exporting as a Tiff file.

Tried this too. I can get the layers out. but everything within the layers ends up as one block.
