It is missing Text to curve, printing registration marks, converting raster to vector and expanding embedded objects (svg and eps). Well, after fighting with Affinity Designer and trying to export a document as EPS and then importing that file into my cutting software for my vinyl cutter, it is pretty clear that there are some MAJOR incompatibility issues. It is truly an amazing program guys! Keep up the awesome work that you do! It is almost as if AD was designed for the sign industry! It is so close but falls just a little short in the export capabilities at the moment. The embedded graphic layer(clip art) is the one that is giving me the headache unless I take the steps that I outlined above and convert the vector image into curves. It would be nice to click on the export persona and select the layers with the common colors and then simply click on a send to button and have those layers sent to the CutStudio software or any other vinyl cutting software that a person might have. This is also where I am hoping that a plug-in could be created to eliminate the entire export process. Sometimes a project will only have two vinyl colors to export(black and red) but other projects may have more colors in the vinyl sign production.
Then after I save that file, I deselect those layers and reselect the other layers with a different color. So what I am doing is staying in the draw persona and turning on only those layers that have the same color and exporting them as a eps file. Right now, it appears that you can only export one layer at a time and not multiple layers. It is my hope that I can someday click on the export persona and select multiple layers and export only those layers to the vinyl cutter software. It is this graphic layer where I am having the issue.
As an example, I have a document with 4 layers (two different vinyl colors), A black layer, a red layer, a text layer and a graphic layer. I'm not sure what you mean by embedded documents unless you are referring to embedded graphics then the answer is yes.
