tymcat 1 Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) Four years went by since the first acknowledgement of the need for DXF export... I am a newbie in AD but an ex-Illustrator user from 1990. Yes, DXF is one of the standards for some AD users (think of FabLabs, Maker Spaces!), we are not only Manga painters (sorry: artists). Edited December 12, 2018 by tymcat better choice of expression - thank you SrPx! 1 BennyD reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SrPx 635 Posted December 12, 2018 42 minutes ago, tymcat said: we are not only Manga painters. There are very few manga (painters?) artists around, at least chiming in. Most of those are using "Manga studio" (still called so in Japan), aka Clip Studio Paint , as the most prepared tool for their very specific task (even prepared for comic balloons, panels, and the comic book publication (EX version)), is thought in every step for them. And those not using it, is because prefer Paint Tool SAI, Open Canvas , Medibang /Fire Alpaca or Krita. Or just PS. What I see in bigger numbers here are photographers. A large number of them quite pro, by all signs. Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo licenses, Windows 7, i7 860 (2009) 2.8 GHz. 4c/8t, 8 GB RAM, GTX 1050 2 GB, HD 7200 RPM Seagate Barracuda. Affinity PHOTO 1.7.x ....AMAZING. Getting there for painting. But "ALT" color picking needs LOVE. It's now the only show-stopper for painting. PLEASE give it LOVE . Or your coding magic. OUTSTANDING, easy fix I found for this situation. Windows users, only. (another reason why it's a TEMPORARY solution until it gets fixed.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eejits 506 Posted December 13, 2018 I asked the same question on Twitter regarding any update on adding DXF export option. They're hopeful it'll be something that comes in a future update.....

gskidmark 1 Posted December 22, 2018 I would like to throw in my vote as well that I really need DXF export. I, also, send my designs to a laser cutter and DXF is what the machine reads. I am creating ski resort trail maps in Affinity Designer, then I jump through hoops to turn it into DXF, then I cut the vector lines out of wood sheets. Hopefully, you will add this to your road map soon. 1 Mithferion reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xoes 0 Posted January 2 Hi guys, I made an account here specifically to request a .dxf exporting functionality for cnc and lasercutting! Please add this to the otherwise great software! Thnxsomuch Xoes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rahkzar 0 Posted January 23 I am also looking for a direct from Affinity Export to DXF. Our laser etcher only will import DXF files and right now the work around through Inkscape works, but it would be much better to come directly out of Affinity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
