ffurger Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 May be it's just me, but I can't find a way to export a specific object - as opposed to an entire page. I thought I could simply select an object and export it, but that doesn't seem to get me anywhere. I looked up "export" in the help file, but that didn't really help much. Shouldn't this operation be straightforward? -Franco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted July 30, 2014 Staff Share Posted July 30, 2014 Hi Franco, We've got a whole Export mode that lets you do exactly what you want. Just look at the different Personas available at the top left of the main window (Draw, Pixel and Export) and choose Export. Now select your object and change the export options available in the panel and you'll create an exportable object automatically. Click the export button either on the context toolbar or next to the object in the 'Slices' page and it will ask you where to save it. Note that you could also choose to export a retina version very easily with this method too. Having said all this, I do think we probably need to add a 'Selected object(s)' checkbox to the File->Export dialog so that you can just easily export a selection :) Cheers, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff TonyB Posted August 2, 2014 Staff Share Posted August 2, 2014 I agree that we will probably have to give in and add 'Selected object(s)' but please don't default it to on if you have a selection as it's usually not what I wanted. rui_mac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macdonag Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 The export persona looks useful, but it doesn't seem to allow me to export slices as individual SVG files. Have I missed it? If not, it would be a very useful feature! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 9, 2014 Staff Share Posted August 9, 2014 macdonag, No, you have not missed it. As far as i know you can only export SVG from File-> Export dialog. Maybe you should post this in the feature requests section. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
