When exporting SVG, some points are missing. I am not sure whether its a bug


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I exported SVG shapes and tried to import it in blender 3d software.  But, when I imported the file. the points are missing. I'm not sure whether it is a bug. I re-imported the SVG file in Affinity designer. got the same result as blender. Please check the screenshots. Let me know your thoughts if I am wrong.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums :)

I am not clear if you report relates to the retail version or the latest 1.7.0.x beta build. Can you please confirm the version this relates to?

I have moved this to a better forum where Tech Support staff should pick it up.

It's the same behavior for AD 1.6.1 under OSX, the node point's are then missing there too for a SVG export.

☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan
☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2

No matter how many nodes you add to two of the sides, they are not exported (SVG, PDF, EPS, WMF).

It is the smooth curve code (optimizing) that removes these nodes behind your back when you export to SVG etc. Just click smooth curve and see that same result. The result is reversed for some formats. This kind of curve optimization should be optional.

Original shape with additional nodes (1, 2, 3 and 4)

Latest beta of Designer (331):

  • New document
  • New rectangle shape
  • Convert to curves
  • Add additional nodes on all four sides like in my example
  • Result when exporting to ...
