[default pixel distance]

Yes, to the former.   Thx again.

[default pixel distance]

Oh I see.   That is pretty cool.   But you have to enter the value every single time; as opposed to the Nudge Tool setting.   I can see what you've pointed out could be usefull tho.

Thank you.

That's me saying "I have no idea what you mean by that".   "A simple way to do this is to select the object & use the Transform panel with an expression like +600 in the X or Y field."   
You mean an expression like an After Effects expression?   That sounds like more work than setting a nudge distance.   =\

I can't figure out how to make a selected object move exactly 600 px.    All I can find lets me move only up to 6 pixels.

Hate to say what we all hear; but it's easy to change this setting in Illustrator.   =[

Not sure we're talking about the same thing.

Apologies in advance for requesting features "similar to" your Competitor's.    =\

BUT.... having the ability to save Layer Comps would be so amazing!!      

Continued gratitude for an amazing product.

Oof. The Orc is painted. Not the same process,

Thank you for your keen observation.    That's why I asked the question.    I like vector; my Directors like raster.    Dunno how to break the question down any simpler.

Thanks for all the fish, Everybody!

Orc = good.

lobster = not so good.

The solution (if there is one) doesn't HAVE to be done in AD.   Which is why I mentioned a possible PSD solution earlier.   I only posted the question here thinking that other AD folks may have encountered a similar situation.

Bit of a melon twister for a mid week day lol!

Adding blurs and the like to make a vector look raster is a bit of an oxymoron. I get the vector flexibility and scalability but if you are adding pixel textures then you have lost scalability and flexibility that takes a hit too doesn't it. Adding pixel based brushes to get a fuzzy edge is ok but then are we really dealing with a vector image and on export what happens?

 

Good points.   However, I don't care about flexibility and scalability.     I prefer to "draw" in vectors for the speed specifically.     When I first read about AD combining the two AS WELL AS employing vectors I thought "Eureka!".    Fast forward almost two years to today....putting a blur on shapes (still scalable, but I don't care) has been a blessing.

@JimmyJackThanks!  That sounds like an interesting idea!!    But...

1) wouldn't I then have to pain the stroke separately from the inner shapes

2) I don't know how to do this.    😕

[Making vector look raster]

So my handlers feel my vector work "looks too Social Media".   Meaning, they'd prefer a more painterly style - read: "avoid that hard-edge nonsense!".    So I've been trying to try things like putting a slight blur on everything.   Which helps a lot IMO.    I've also done the obvious, which is to switch to pixel mode and (groan) paint in fills.   Despite the tedious workflow, I think it looks great.   BUT I still can't escape the sharp, hard vector outlines.   The Designer Persona brushes look AMAZING, but I can't paint on em.    =\    Pls see image below.

 

I also tried getting fancy with the Photoshop.   But this image was simply PSD witchcraft - add noise, blur, blend modes, blah, blah - which I'm totally open to...but in the end,  I dunno if I really dig this look.   Welp.....

 

 

Thx for reading.   =]

 

 

 

[exporting JSON]

Quick question:  does Affinity NOT like to export groups to JSON?   Cuz it only works for loose, individual layers for me.    Thx

Depends on the brush:

 

"Break Curve/Close Curve" instantly still gives me the same result with Pencil 2B.

[stroke corners]

Tried that.    And tried again (per below).  No bueno.  Plus, adjusting the Head/Tail offset compromises the texture I'd like to keep.

Many thanks, tho.    

[stroke corners]

In trying to get organic looking lines I'm using the vector brush "Classic Pencil 2B".   Which looks amazing, but it has this corner issue that I can't resolve (image below).    I even tried breaking the corner which kinda works, but it's a very awkward solution.

In short, I'd like the stroke to go ALL the way around my vector path.

Thx in advance!

Because it only works with Pixel layers. Rasterise your Curve and then try.

Thank you!

Why does this button do nothing?

I didn´t meant to change them after drawing; every starting/end point/node should be a sharp node. Don´t you think?

I typically only do that if I'm drawing objects with hard corners.    Otherwise I always click+drag, click+drag, click+drag, etc.

Hi @Sweatman,
In the Pen Tool context toolbar, turn off Align to nodes of selected curves (the first icon/button of the Snap section).

Thanks!
