Export to svg strange behaviour.

[Egg Bramhill]

I've found that Xara's export to svg is very solid normally without problems. However this one's puzzling me. All shapes are vectors in the xar file but when exported to svg some shapes are exported as vectors whilst others export as bitmaps. Could someone give this a try for me. Open the .xar file, select all and choose export as svg, 'Export selected objects only'.
Do you get the same and what version of Xara are you using. I'm using Xara Designer Pro+ 24 9th May 2024. Thanks.

I get the same egg with designer pro v20 perpetual [and with magix ver 15.1]

it does not open any better in inkscape and worse in affiniity designer beta

Thanks HD. It's strange, not had this before. I also get it on v16 which is the latest version I have before Pro+ 24.00
I'll report it to support.

It's been a while since I was here

I looked at your file and the shapes that export as bitmaps have some feathering, so you can just select all the shapes remove it and export.

Spot on MV. Great to see you back. This one was doing my head in. Great find. I must have put the feathing on by mistake because I know svg can't handle feathering. Thanks

I just logged in to give you the answer. I remember you helped me a few years back. I don't make music anymore, but I'm mixing some tracks with graphics in videos and I'm making AI graphics. It was my pleasure to be able to help you with that.

good catch there MVM I missed that too

Just an observation but I noticed feathering was set to 0px, which presumably is still a value according to svg export.

Clicking into feather options again resets the value back to 'None'.

AFAIK xara assigns a value to 0px feathering, as it assigns a value to 0px line width
