pawsys Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I created a drawing using vector brushes on Affinity Designer for iPad. I tried all the vector export options (svg, eps). When I opened the document in Illustrator all the brushes looks wrong. There is no drawing path (shapes are exported as outlines) and everything is exported with flat fills (all the brushes textures are gone). Does anybody have idea how to fix it? Is there a way to play with the vector brushes on the desktop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 This was answered by Gabriel M in another post. Quote: You're using a textured brush, and you cannot expand stroke on brushes that use textures. It's basically impossible because the texture is raster, and that would require an auto-trace feature, which we do not have. You can only expand stroke on non-textured brushes. pawsys and stokerg 2 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

babmo Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 @pawsys You will have to „convert“ the brush strokes to normal strokes, select them all and apply the monoline stroke (second from the left) in the stroke panel. Then you will be able to get the actual paths to Illustrator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawsys Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 @babmo @dm1 I tried babmo suggestion. Vector paths are still exported as outlines. Is there a way to export to illustrator a path (not an outline of a path)? Even when I use pencil tool: what I get in Illustrator is outlines of paths.

Do you export an EPS? Copying the paths to Illustrator still expands them, so export is the only solution I‘m aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same thing works on iPad except I also had to reset the "drag handles to adjust pressure" curve to default flat line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
