Embedding SVG file into Designer project: anti-aliasing settings ignored


Recommended Posts

Hello. I have embedded a svg icon into my Designer project. Problem is that my anti aliasing settings for that embeded layer get ignored.
I have tried changing the anti-aliasing settings directly into the embedded file but to no avail.

If I copy all lines from the embedded file, and paste them into my project (so that it is not an embedded file), anti-aliasing settings are then properly working.

I am working in pixel-view mode.

Left side: embedded file
Right side: non-embedded file (sexy pixels)

Welcome to the Affinity forums.

I would start by:

  1. Switching the document units to pixels (px) if not already set that way.
  2. Opening the application Settings, User Interface, and making sure the Number of Decimal Places for pixels is set to 3 or more.
  3. Clicking on the Embedded file in the Layers panel with the Move Tool selected.
  4. ooking at its X and Y coordinates in the Transform panel, and verifying they are integers (no decimals displayed).

If not integers, make them integers. Check if that helped. (I'm not sure it would, but it might.)

I doubt that anti-aliasing can apply to embedded/linked SVG files, if applied to those container layers. As they are containers you basically just have a view of their contents, but it's like looking at the view through a closed window: you can't touch/affect the contents.
