TheRazor Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Hello, I've been having an issue with a particular SVG and Fusion 360. The AI logo looks great in Affinity Designer, and the SVG export of it looks perfect as well, however when I bring it in to Fusion I get a bunch of additional lines and objects added to the sketch. I started removing them manually, but it's taking me forever. Anyone know what is causing this and is there a way to fix it? I attached two screenshots to show the original image and what is appearing in Fusion. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRazor Posted March 7 Author Share Posted March 7 I apologize, I was out of the office for a few days. These are the two files that I am working with. I don't have much experience with design files, my background is in manufacturing and 3D printing. I plan to use the SVG in Fusion to create a few things for the youth hockey team I coach for our end of year banquet. Thanks in advance for your help!

David in Яuislip Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 With Snapping Candidates turned on there are some nasties shown, now to find them Quote Microsoft Windows 11 Home, Intel i7-1360P 2.20 GHz, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Intel Iris Xe Affinity Photo - 24/05/20, Affinity Publisher - 06/12/20, KTM Superduke - 27/09/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRazor Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 Thanks. I don't know what that is, but at least I know where to start researching. 😄 Would those be user added or was it something in the import/export process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palatino Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 These elements are already contained in the AI file. Quote Thanks to DeepL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I definitely think this has been through a pixel to vector tracer, there are lots of vector anomalies, most of the anomalies that can be seen in Outline view in either Illustrator or Affinity relate to the red parts of the image so simply deleting them isn't an option, see image 1 below Image 1. Unfortunately there are other path/curve bugs (excuse the pun lol!) Personally I think you'd be faster making this vector logo in Affinity from scratch using a pixel logo or the ai file as a trace image.

TheRazor Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 😖 Obviously not what I wanted to hear, but I understand the importance of working with "a clean file" and I don't mind learning how to do it. Is there a link to training whether it be YouTube or something on Affinity's own site that I can watch and learn what I will need to do? I want to do this, but I don't even know where to start. 🙃 Thanks for all your help so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David in Яuislip Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 You can clear the detritus with the node tool. Isolate the layer, select the nasties with the node tool and press delete Quote Microsoft Windows 11 Home, Intel i7-1360P 2.20 GHz, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Intel Iris Xe Affinity Photo - 24/05/20, Affinity Publisher - 06/12/20, KTM Superduke - 27/09/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRazor Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 From the history of the logo I could understand why they are on the red layer, that color was recently added, but wondering why they would be there. Was it from someone like me who didn't know what they were doing when they added the red? 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it from someone like me who didn't know what they were doing when they added the red? 😄 Depends how the red was added, but if the red was added manually, it's very unlikely the anomalies were accidentally made by you. Affinity does have a few quirks when using certain tools like the contour tool, which can create rogue nodes, but I've never seen it create the likes of the red anomalies seen in the logo document.

TheRazor Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 Finally had some time to look at this again. I was able to clean up a lot of the garbage. Thank you for that help. The problem I'm now having is that a lot of the of the red hides behind the black layer above it. For the lack of a better description, when it is exported as a SVG the "inside nodes" are making lines in what should be "the black area of the logo." Is there some option I could use that would only export what is visible as an SVG? Or am I stuck trying to move all those nodes manually? Is there a trick to where I can get then to snap to the black nodes? (Sorry I don't know the technical terms. 😁) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
