Abdo23 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I'm drawing an icon in Designer. The document is set to 24x24. The icon itself is 17x24. When I try to export as a .svg file I leave it at "Whole Document" but when I open it in Sketch it becomes very large at 203x286. What am I doing wrong here? PS: I'm new to Affinity Designer and Designing in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted April 29, 2018 Staff Share Posted April 29, 2018 Hi Abdo23, When exporting to SVG are you changing the DPI at all, try setting it to 96 DPI as I believe Sketch now defaults to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for replying. I tried setting it to 96 but in Sketch the dimensions became 66x93. I tried lowering it to 72 and still, it's not 24x24 as intended.

The icon went into Sketch with the large dimensions of 203x286. Also, the image appears in Sketch as a group with jut the shape inside it.

firstdefence Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 In the meantime I have just tried SVG for Web, this has the DPI set to 72 so I changed it to use DPI: 96, I then clicked on Manage Presets and created a preset and called it: SVG for Web DPI 96 and saved it, Create preset... is greyed out in the screenshot because I haven't edited the created preset but when you do it it will show in black. These are the settings I used for the SVG for Web DPI 96.
