Thank you for the informative instruction. I love it! So, if I want to sell my SVG files on Etsy or Creative Fabrica, I should subtract the black line rather than leaving it as a black background, right?
Thank you so much for helping me learn affinity with cut files in mind. I've had a very hard time finding tutorials aimed toward teaching beginner affinity with cut files in mind. Do you have more suggestions on how I go about learning affinity in correlation with svg cut files? Will you continue ' create tutorial videos in this area. I don’t even know if I can just learn affinity and not need to worry about my designs working with design space bc I’m not sure what if anything i shouldn’t do if I’m only focused on cutting and drawing files.

Hey Erin, thank you for the kind words. YES! This year I will be very focused on doing more tutorials so if there is something in particular you are looking for feel free to ask here or in the FB group!
I don't use an iPad but doing a quick google search I found this thread helpful! forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/61758-compound-shapes-on-ad-for-ipad/
This is not working anymore :( I don't know what to do. I used this setting for a long time and now when I upload the files to DS the preview is all messed up. I'm selling SVG files and can not afford them to look messy even before the customer uploads them. On canvas, the files look all fine, but the preview is confusing people and they are often afraid to even proceed with the upload.
Hmm. So, option 1. You deconstruct an SVG into separate curves. Colour and regroup the colours. And that's it. Don't you have to create any compounds? Thanks!
So you would want to create a compound path with all of the orange pieces. Good point. I think I forgot that step! Or I did it with the keyboard and didn't even realize it.
I'm having trouble with my SVG's uploading into Design Space. I export as SVG in affinity designer and then when I try to upload or use file it will not load. Any suggestions?
Could be a ton of factors. Is everything a path? May be better for you to post in the FB group so we can see what you're working with. If not on the socials just email me Shootingstarsvg@gmail.com
This video explains how to do it in Silhouette Studio. You would follow a similar technique in Cricut Design Space - but I'm happy to make a video showing both in one if this doesn't do the trick. Just let me know! th-cam.com/video/-Smv37iCNUY/w-d-xo.html
Hi Stacey. How are you exporting it and are you sure it's not coming out too large? If you're in the FB group share some screenshots and I can try to help

Are you starting with an svg file? If so, how do I make a jpeg into svg so I can then do this? Plz help p.s. thanks for the videos
You can trace a PNG in Inkscape pretty easily but yes these are SVGS
When you start with a file, does it have to be an SVG for the "Divide" option to work properly?
Hi Sara you won't be able to apply the division on a PNG or other raster image it needs to be a JPEG to work

@@ShootingStarSVG Thank you!!
Trying to understand why the compound paths on a few of your videos. I just don't get it I guess!

When I save my Svg it will not open in design space! What am I doing wrong??

I have the same issue ,am not on FB and can't seem to find any info on YT on the subject , when i open my svg saved from affinity they don't show up at all .
please create tutorials on Affinity designer
I can certainly do this. Anything in particular?
Have you figured out how to set Affinity so your exported SVG isn't 2" square??
Do you have a video tutorial on making layered SVG’s in Illustrator? Thanks!
You are so beautiful...
You flatter me. Thank you!
too much steps to do that, maybe exist another way more easy to do it.
Sadly that's the way digital works
