danielscott63 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Welcome to the forum @danielscott63 Have you exported the draw file as a PDF, this is generally the preferred method from Draw to Affinity.

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

I can get the layers out. but everything within the layers ends up as one block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
