Exporting filled curves appears incorrect.


Recommended Posts

Tap on the ellipsis (...) icon to display the Edit menu and check the ‘Fill Mode’ section there. ‘Winding’ will fill in the gaps, but ‘Alternate’ should give you the result you want; having said that, I would expect the setting to be reflected in what you see on the canvas.

Thanks for your file. I've tried exporting this logo on a desktop using the PNG-24 export preset and the export worked successfully, providing the following results:

However when exporting the file from an iPad, I've replicated the strange black artifacts, as well as the curve being ignored (as per your original post).

Currently, I don't mind admitting, that I've got no idea why the export is providing different results from the iPad over the desktop. I've passed your file through to our QA team and we're going to investigate this further, then get back to you :)

It appears as though there's currently an issue in Designer for iPad when creating Curves objects and nesting pixel layers within them, when the Curves layer has multiple start and end nodes (usually arising from combining/subtracting objects).

We've logged the issue with out devs, as it's only affecting the iOS version currently so hopefully it will be fixed shortly.

In the meantime, I've edited your file slightly to have 4 separate curves objects, one of which has it's blend mode set to erase. I appreciate this certainly isn't ideal but it allows your logo to be exported correctly currently.
