Can I select an item and export it?

[Markus Allen]

I am designing a font.

Instead of creating a new document for each letter, I would like to design it once on a single "canvas".

Now: 

My font software requires one .svg at a time... one for each letter.

Question: can I select a letter and only export that one letter from Designer? If so, can you point me in the right direction?

Yes, and it's very simple.

I you use a document template with guides that helps you build your characters, great, because the export workflow will make it a breeze.

1. Head over to the "Export" persona after you have completed creating your font.
2. (Use the layers studio/panel) Once in the Export persona, you can select all of the characters needed for export and create a "Slice"
3. Once the slices are created, head over to the "Slices" studio/panel and then select (Like you would a layer in the layers panel) and change the "Export Options" to svg. (as well as anything else you'd like to change, like the name, for the export)
4. Once all export options are corrected selected you can hit the "Export Slices" button to the bottom right corner of the Slices studio/panel and you're done.

If needed, This helps explain Export slice format options.
