j_create

Hi, I'm using the hotkey workaround for this but it's really cumbersome, both to get used to and to continue to use. A bounding box reset – a permanent one – is pretty important. I'm coming from Adobe so there's been some re-learning for the Affinity Designer workflow but this is maybe the first instance where I feel like there's a real deficiency in the software and it's tripping me up.
I hope in future releases that a bounding box can be reset permanently, and from the right-click menu, too (not just via hotkey) . . . and along with that some real warping, meshing, bulging, etc., that one would use for vectors or (especially) grouped vectors to go with it.
Thanks!

Just chiming in to add my voice to the choir. Trying to set up an artboard based on the current selection won't work as expected due to the transformed bounding box causing the result to be oversized despite the absence of any visual content near the edge of the resulting artboard.
I believe that @vitor's suggestion of modifier key and conversion to curves would be a good improvement to the functionality.

I think that a permanent reset bounding box option is essential for anyone using Affinity Designer. Based on my prior experience with Adobe Illustrator, a permanent reset bounding box is a valuable tool for an efficient workflow. It's convenient to have the option of a non-permanent reset bounding box for vector shapes that need it, but most of the time we NEED a permanent reset bounding box. 

Reset Bounding Box button/command is (was?) a must have.

I just wanted to push for this mandatory (IMHO) feature.
