possiblerobot Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 The attached image is made of simple strokes and results in a raster when exported as an SVG (raster inside SVG). I've even tried to expand the strokes and then export. Even then, with no brush used, it results in a raster. I've play with PDF and EPS too. I can't seem to get this graphic out as a vector. Suggestions? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted January 23, 2015 Staff Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hi possiblerobot (great name!) I can't see your file - the process to attach things is a bit crazy on this forum (imho) that you have to browse for your file, tell it to upload it then tell it to add into your post! First things I will say to check are... Do you have a blend mode that's unsupported, a layer effect, or some kind of transparency on the item in question? They're usually good reasons that things can't go out as vectors to some formats. The other thing I'd suggest is, it's always a good idea to try out the latest beta version (available in the first thread in the beta forums here) as that contains many fixes that aren't in the Mac App Store version yet. Thanks in advance, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possiblerobot Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Hi, thanks for responding. The issue seems to be resolved in the most recent beta. I unchecked the new "Rasterise unsupported effects" checkbox and exported without issue. It turns out that the "erase" blending option triggers rasterization. Cheers!

Dave Harris Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Did it look the same without the Erase blend mode? If so, maybe you don't need to use it in the drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
