Mike089123 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Vector EPS files that I have bought from shutterstock lose all groupings when opening it up in affinity, but I know they are there cause when I open them in illustrator, everything is grouped. How do I retain all the groups with affinity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted February 19, 2018 Staff Share Posted February 19, 2018 Hi Mike018, I suspect the file you are opening was created in AI and exported as an EPS file, which will also store a copy of the .ai file in the EPS. When you open that in AI, you are seeing the AI file, which contains the groups and not the actual EPS file. When you open the same file in Designer, we open the EPS file which is why the items are no longer in groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any way to retain the groups of the EPS files commonly downloaded from these types of sites, where the author probably made them in illustrator?

Karl Toon Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Does anyone have a solution for Mike089123's question of, "Is there any way to retain the groups of the EPS files commonly downloaded from these types of sites, where the author probably made them in illustrator?" I also have this problem and it would really speed up my workflow if there was a solution, or could this be a feature request? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
