Sparkway Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hello dear Affintiy Team, i just love your application, i am new and switching from illustrator. I couldn't find this topic in the forum: But how can i import content that is outside of an artboard from illustrator. (See Screenshot) I use this space like a desk, so there are a lot of important information, and if i want to move to your app in total, i need this for all my old graphics from illustrator. Thanks for reply. Greetings Dirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted January 18, 2017 Staff Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hi Dirk, Welcome to the forums. Any Illustrator documents that have objects on the pasteboard won't be present when opened in Affinity Designer. Once a file is open you can move objects onto the Pasteboard, but you may need to change the view mode first, View > View Mode > and uncheck Unclip to Canvas.

Staff TonyB Posted January 18, 2017 Staff Share Posted January 18, 2017 This is because Affinity will read the embedded PDF stream within the Illustrator file and they don't contain the objects outside the pasteboard. Sparkway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezumi Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I understand your pain. I also use that space like a table - I just decided to do all new work in Designer and eventually old work will just become obsolete. I am keeping illustrator just bit more to be sure I have no work related to old files, move what I need to Designer and leave Illustrator for good. Good luck in transition, brother ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
