Import of .dpp files (Drawplus)

[Andy81le]

Hi there,

 

Thanks for making the Affinity Beta available to the public. As a recent user of drawplus, I was looking forward to using these files (.dpp) in affinity designer as well. Unfortunately, .dpp are not supported currently. Hence my question/request: Would it be possible to implement import of drawplus files into Affinity Designer?

 

Cheers

Hi Andy81le,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

As far a i know there's no plans to support dpp files. 

Have you tried to export the files as PDF and import them into Affinity Designer?

Hi,

 

Sorry - DrawPlus (.dpp) files are a legacy format and we will never support them directly in Affinity.

 

That said, you can certainly export from DrawPlus as SVG or PDF - and Affinity will happily import those files, often without much / any loss..

 

Thanks,

 

Andy.

Hi,

 

I thought it would make it easier to preserve layers, etc.. Didn't know this was a legacy format. Thanks for the quick responses, I will try how the .svg and/or pdf imports work.

 

Cheers,
