Export bounding box only

Hi,


I really would like to see the export functions to be changed. Currently the entire design area is being exported and I only want to export the items within the bounding box. All my products use the same bounding box.


See screenshot. The door is the area where the design is, the doorframe is the bounding box. When exporting the order design from WooCommerce I only want the door including all layers to be exported, not the background area.


Please include this in a next version.


Cheers,
Jaap

Well, I too have spent countless hours creating my platform and I too have had the very same issues and frustrations. This is why, after almost two years with the plugin I am hoping to hire a programmer. This can be a really great plugin if someone with the printing industry insights develops what's needed. I am convinced that Radykal is not aware of the issues we talk about and how serious they are. For me, this feature request is still not implemented...

Multiplier? What is that and how does it works?

Has there been any movement on this feature?  THIS WOULD BE HUGE for me.  Im using FPD for a large scale product, 68 inches high by 11 inches wide in some cases.  Combined with having to scale sizes up in the end to have the proper resolution, being able to just export the bounding box will make final filesizes a little smaller,and easier to produce at the end.

Adrienne Leverette can you please tell us where you implemented your solution?

 

Hello Adrienne,



I tried your javascript on my woocommerce store, but it doesn't work. I tried to export a pdf, png, jpg. Nothing works. Which kind of export file do you use?

And I use as bounding box the item "Door" and enabled it everywhere like in your javascript, is that right? 


Please help me, thanks in advice

In the latest version you can mark elements with "exclude from export" and via our new solution you can export the orders:


http://admin.fancyproductdesigner.com/


Currently this feature is only available exclusively in the ADMIN solution.

For me so far, the "new Admin order solution" still exports the entire image, not the bounding box. And on some of the orders it even includes layers that are set to be excluded, though not all the time. The settings in the admin screen are confusing, and many of them doesn't even seem to change anything. A lot of the time it doesn't generate any files when I hit the Export button, with no reason/error.


72 dpi is meant for screens not for print or any kind of production. I had to set my stage/canvas to 10000x10000 px. to show my background/mockup – although the actual design area is only about 2400x2700 px (to get 25x35 cm 300 dpi). And this slowed everything down, made it display incorrectly on some units, and the customer preview/download buttons stopped working because the files are too big now.


This is really disappointing. Having spent so much time setting this up and trying it out, only to find that something so fundamental for this kind of product has been basically left out in the development of it. Who needs a nice custom design and user experience, if it's not usable in the end.


Would gladly pay a lot more to see a solution to this.

" "exclude from export" " does not exist anywhere in the admin page! How to do it?

Radykal, can I please be allowed to participate in the beta that includes the Export Bounding Area functionality? 

For now, I was able to remove the actions buttons outside the stage and set the stage size to the exact size of my banners.  This has helped tremendously by keeping the file sizes down since im scaling them up so big.



This plugin does suffer from some serious issues, and, unfortunately, the developers appear to rarely address issues on the forums.

You really have to engineer things in order to get this plugin to work. Because of the lack of progress in development, I am starting to look elsewhere to be honest.

Hi,

thank you for the update. It is a help that we now dont have to manual uncheck all useless Layers. 


Our Problem is, that the export Picture have still the size of the canvas. Can we Export just the size of our bounding box? or we can define a export Zone?

 With the current solution we have still the same work.


Thank you

The plugin is $50.  Though I got lucky with my solution because my final graphic is always a perfect rectangle, good luck finding something else in that price range.

Will this ever be implemented? I'm referring to exporting the whole canvas instead of only the bounding box. As of right now I have to crop each one in photoshop which takes a long time. This feature would be great.

Any news on this topic? Im very intrested in this functionality too.


Awesome work Radykal and team.
