I am sending a Figma PDF export to a print shop for board games. They want me to name the layer that I am using to cut the punch outs “dielines.”
Is there an extension/plugin that I could use to do this?

Hi Randall,
I’ve found this plugin that may help you to cut the “dielines” (here called “Crop Marks” : https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/874441781480244375/print-for-figma-cmyk-bleed-crop-marks-dpi). Otherwise, you can browse directly in the plugin community: https://www.figma.com/community - Hope it helps!
I am expanding the question here to include SVG’s.
I want to keep the names of the shapes and layers.
When I export an svg or pdf it has all the shapes/paths but not the names of the paths or shapes.
I figured out how to make SVG exports include their names.
If there are names in the file that are the same it appends “_2”, “_3” etc.
This is better than scrambled layer names which is what was happening before.
Ideally I would want the layers names to persist but will accept having to open them in inkscape to rename them again with the partially preserved names.
I found this solution only because of this other person’s question:
I am using this for exports that I plan on importing into Rive.
Looks like Rive docs have found the same fix that I just discovered.
rive.app
checking the box will preserve (some) of the names when you paste them into Rive.
