Vectoring a text block with the "Outline" function


Recommended Posts

Hello!

Affinity designer has worked very well. But now that I used the "outline" function on a text and should export as a vector file - it will not be vectorized. If I remove the "outline" function, it is directly vectored. Can someone help me? How should I fix this? Need answer fast.

See picture, with outline it is not vectorized!

Hi zoxiet,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
All layer effects (Outline included) are raster based and are rasterised on export (using document's dpi) so this is working as it should. I'm moving this thread to the Questions section.

If you want to keep everything as vectors you can simply increase text's stroke width in the context toolbar. If you need there's also an Expand Stroke command (menu Layer ▸ Expand Stroke) to convert the stroke into a shape so you can manipulate it further (use geometric operations  like add, subtract etc). Let us know if you still have issues.
