pavanpodila Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Crossposting from the Beta forum. ---- This gives a quick way to export only the content in a layer without the need to create slices. The size of the export will the unified bounds of the entire layer. This is very useful when you don't want a slices-like export that cuts through all layers. Please include this :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted May 29, 2015 Staff Share Posted May 29, 2015 Hi Pavan Podila, With the layer selected, go to menu File ▹ Export and change the drop down option at the bottom left to Selection with (or without) background.

pavanpodila Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hi MEB, Tried that but it does not constrain it to the bounds of the layer. Instead it exports it with the document dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 3, 2015 Staff Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hi Pavan Podila, It should constrain to the bounds of the objects contained within the layer. Can you PM me a link to the file (or post it here as you prefer) and tell the name of the layer you want to export? Maybe i'm missing something.

pavanpodila Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hi Meb, Attached the file here. Note that when you export the "512" named layer, the bounds are 1357x1357. It should really be 512x512. Please see if I am doing anything wrong here. Thanks, Pavan bad-layer-export.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 3, 2015 Staff Share Posted June 3, 2015 Thanks for the file. There's something weird going on here. I will get back to you later. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 5, 2015 Staff Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hi Pavan Podila, There's a bug (and some other issues going on) that are preventing the file from being exported correctly. I'm logging this to be looked at. Thanks for your help. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
