SirPiaf Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hello ! I'm using Affinity Designer and that's a great program ! The only thing is.. Could it be possible for a futur update to save a file as .ai ? Cause still a lot of people are using Illustrator and sometimes to share a file it could be great. Thanks for your answer. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walt.farrell Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Even simpler, if you're on Windows: tell Designer to Export a PDF. When you click on Export and the File Explorer window open, type your file name, including the " marks, as "your-name.ai" It will be saved under that name, avoiding the need to do a rename later.

Boldlinedesign Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 wow interesting! I was a little skeptical of you on that until I tried it myself. very cool! is that really all there is to it? I wonder if there are any issues saving things like gradients or opacity settings as Affinity handles that differently than Illustrator. For example, saving an illustrator file with gradients and the like as an eps file can cause problems in corel. Is this more an eps issue? I'm going to have to play around with this more and see if anything has issues in the crossover. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there would be issues with anything that is not directly supported by PDF. Some kinds of transparency, for example, where depending on your Export settings an effect might either be omitted or rasterized.
