Having a problem when pasting objects into Affinity Designer.

[taybon]

Hi, 

I recently purchased Affinity Designer vs 1.6.1 for a Mac Book. I'm having trouble pasting an object created from another program (and app called Graphic). For example a logo created with objects grouped together (included and not including text objects), gets separated, placed out of order, upside down or really really spread apart. Is there a different way I should be using the paste features? If the object has been 'union' ed or made into a compound path w/out any text then it seems to paste ok (but still upside down)

any suggestions?

thanks

Hi, taybon,

I've never used "Graphic," but I see it exports .svg and .pdf types of files. Did you try to open an exported file, or actually copy and paste? If copy & paste, I'm surprised anything worked right. I've opened lots of .svg files made in several different apps w/o problems in Designer.

Hi, thanks for your response. I was just using copy & paste. If I save from 'Graphic' as a pdf and open the file in Designer, then the file opens fine w/ everything in the correct position. However, when doing so ,the 'grouped' objects are no longer grouped and some of these have many detailed parts to them & it becomes a pain to regroup them. I like to keep my options open until the final product is accepted. I have not tried exporting a grouped object as an .svg, my guess is that would work also. I was just trying to avoid those steps. 

thanks again...
