SVG Export Options Quandary

[jlarmstrongiv]

Hi all, 

 

I am trying to use Affinity Designer to export my artboards as svg.  However, I cannot seem to accomplish the following:

 

- Exporting Multiple Artboards at once:  I can export one artboard at a time or all my artboards in once svg, but not a one to one artboard export to svg that runs all at once.  

 

- Link Images in SVG:  I cannot seem to have my raster images linked—for instance, if I place a png inside my svg, the jpg is converted to base64 and inlined inside the svg.  Rather, the export should create two files:  the svg (with an image tag linked to) the jpg.

 

Current encoding is something like:  <image id="_Image1" width="1575px" height="2361px" xlink:href="data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRg.......

 

Encoding should be something like:  <image id="artboardName-imageLayerName" overflow="visible" width="1575px" height="2361px" xlink:href="artboardName-imageLayerName.png">

</image>

Hi jlarmstrongiv,

 

and welcome here …  :)

 

You can export multiple artboards at once in the Export Persona (Affinity Designer > Export Persona). Have a look at the Help files to make yourself comfortable with the options here. It would be too difficult to explain all details of this Persona, but basically there will be a slice for each of your artboards, and you will simply have to assign the desired export format to these slices. You can even assign more than one format.

 

I don’t think linked images are supported at the moment in SVG export.

 

Hope that helps …  :)
