It took me a while to figure out a functional way to convert my existing line work from Photoshop's Vector paths to designer but here's the work around that I found after some experimentation.  I've also included how to do the reverse just in case someone needs to go back and forth.

  1. Line Work conversion
  •  Select 1 vector mask layer at a time + File + Export + Paths to Illustrator+ save as individual files
  •  File + Open in Illustrator + check the following ( Legacy Art board +  Crop Area(s))
  • Organize paths into separate layers + stroke paths so you can see them
  • Save as Single EPS document
  • Open file in Affinity Designer
  • Click the Group Thumbnail + Add Stroke Color + Line Thickness + select following according to your preferences (Cap + Join + Align)
  1. Bringing Files into Illustrator
  • Disable all clipping masks - clipping masks will cause the layer to be rasterized
  • Export to SVG format to maintain proper grouping
  • File+"Place" the image in an Illustrator file that's the same size
  1. You'll get a brief error but if you ignore it a dialogue will appear (simply click ok)
