Also I have found that a majority of Pixabys vectors do not work. I have tried several and they just don't show up. I believe I saw on another thread that it's the way the artist upload the design, as a lot are designed in AI but apparently there is a way to save so that Affinity can read them too. Affinity developers need to contact Pixabay to let all of their artists know how best to save the artwork. Affinity advertises this feature and it is somewhat limited. I am Very frustrated as I spent most of the day trying to use some of the vectors and very few worked.

Even Heart Icon would help to identify a favourite brush or different colour dots a person can add to the brush example would help. Like in Apple Mail.

I agree with Alejandro. I too have All the Serif Legacy programs all the way back to X2..... I would love to be able to use the brushes and assets in these programs. Has anyone come up with a way to transfer the assets from the older Serif programs that are not currently loaded? Is it possible from the Serif website (with proof of purchase) just to extract these files? And also the brushes for the current X8 and previous legacy programs. These Earlier programs had some better items available than the current, all singing, all dancing Affinity Programmes. One would think that the newer programs would be better but in some instances this is not the case. Please, please if anyone knows how to move the brushes over to work in Affinity Designer or Affinity Photo please post here.. Many Thanks

I was wondering the same thing.

Thank You Callum, this helped me too.

Yes, I agree this would be so helpful

I started using Serif programs when they first started. Many, Many Years ago their Page Plus had HTML code and was used for web design, even back then. My main computing went over to Mac in 2001 but I had to buy a PC just to run my WebPlus website. (Webplus is probably my Favourite all time programme.) I too would like to see Serif do HTML as my website on WebPus x8, is starting to have issues. The more I use and learn on the New Affinity programmes (Designer & Photo) which I think are very good, the more I appreciate the older Serif xPlus programmes. I find myself switching back to Draw Plus and Page plus often for basic things that are (Incredibly) missing from the 'All new, Singing and Dancing' programmes.

Thank You Dominik, I will give that a try today. You, and All who give your quick replies on this forum are greatly appreciated ! Many Thanks. 😊

+1 I too would love this feature to recolour designs as in Illustrator. See example https://www.instagram.com/p/CHLWHXYAY_n/ Also the ability to fill a shape with a texture. So an image of a pair of jeans could be filled with a photo swatch of denim. This would also need to be scaleable.

What about Designer ??

Thank you very much for your help 'Old Bruce'. I found it. I had the wrong brush setting. I had the 'selection brush tool' highlighting not the regular brush tool.... I'm a Newbie 😊....

I am looking for the symmetry button in affinity designer. According to to affinity's own tutorial https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/tutorials/designer/desktop/video/331186550/ it should be in the pixel persona once you have the brush highlighted I have tried to find it on both my laptop AND my desktop (1.85.703) and I do not have a symmetry button on the bar as in the video. Where have they hidden it ? I really need to use it.

It has been many a times requested on the forums for a workspace saving I would love to see this option as it’s so frustrating everytime I go in I have to reset the workspace I’m working on a desktop PC It also be helpful if the listing studio has a multiple check mark so that you can check several at 1 time assets brushes character all the ones that you want in one go instead of adding them separately because currently you have to add it then go back, view studio add it, then go back, view studio then go back .... This is really really really basic. It’s like getting into your car every time you want to drive and you have to reset the seat you have reset of the mirrors you have to reset the heat you have to reset everything about it. this has been requested for several years no and it’s so basic why is it not an affinity?

+ 1 I too want/need this feature. It seems so basic.... (The old Serif Draw plus programme had this - Years ago with assets....) It should not be that hard to add this to Affinity as the technology is there.

Please !!!!
