bowen192 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I'm exporting an afdesign file as an SVG for a machinist, but the export comes out just over 4 times bigger than the original. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Can you provide some screenshots, or better a .afdesign file and exported .svg that demonstrate the problem? bowen192 and stokerg 2 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

bowen192 Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Here it is in afdesign Draw Persona. I have added a red line which shows it is 213.7mm across. Here is the exported SVG. I have added the same line, but as you can see it shows as 890.5mm across. EDIT: What's even more confusing is I've literally copied and pasted that red line from the afdesign direct into the SVG with no modification and it fits perfectly.

carl123 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Check the DPI in the SVG export screen and document Looks like a 300/72 mismatch somewhere bowen192 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

bowen192 Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 These are my settings: Do I manually need to change the DPI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of an odd default. I would like to see at least a 'export to original size' option in a future release. Thanks for all your help. A pleasure as always.
