Achimoto Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Hi, I want to give a workshop on vector graphics for lasercutters in our FabLab. This normally is about inkscape and Illustrator, so I tried Designer. File format for lasercutters is svg. I experienced some problems, what can I do better? 1. in SVG export, the layers are lost. (I know about the svg-layer problematic, but your import treats svg files with layers correctly, e.g. groupmode="layer") 2. I designed in mm, the svg export comes in arbitrary units. I did not find any settings where the scale stays correct. 3. Color is lost if opacity is set to 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted December 13, 2018 Staff Share Posted December 13, 2018 Hi Achimoto, Welcome to the forums 1 hour ago, Achimoto said: in SVG export, the layers are lost Are you referring to empty layers here? 1 hour ago, Achimoto said: I did not find any settings where the scale stays correct. This has been requested previously on our forums and has been logged with our developers as an improvement, unfortunately there's no such option currently but a workaround has been discussed in the following thread - 1 hour ago, Achimoto said: Color is lost if opacity is set to 0 This is a previously known bug that has been fixed in our v1.7 beta! Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!
