Been lurking in the forum since V2 release. Hoping for big improvements and announcements. Until now it's been a big let down. Not sure what the Affinity team is thinking with the product and community, but this is not the way to do it successfully. Was hoping that Canva would change things up, but that's been a let down as well. As it stands now I'm not buying a future V3 of Affinity. They have to prove themselves first and get back the trust from the community for me to even consider getting another Serif product.

This fixed the problem. Many thnx to the both of you! Kinda funny that such small things can solve such big problems. Been busy with it for hours.

You're right. Here it is. pattern white lines.afdesign

Thnx for the tips. I tried to use them, but I can't seem to get it right. I must be doing something wrong. Could you post a video how you did it, so that I can compare it with the way I did it?

I'm having a problem with shapes in Affinity Designer. Whenever I snap two shapes together there will be a line between those shapes. It is visible in Affinity Designer itself and on the exported images. I tried to make a pattern with symbols and the problem also occurs. I've searched the forum and internet to solve this problem, but there isn't one that works for me. From what I'm getting this is a bug in the software that's been in Affinity Designer for years now. When will this be solved? I expected that V2 would have dealt with the problem but it didn't unfortunately.

Is there a list of features that are specific for Affinity (like the erase blend mode)? This would come in handy if I need to export files for a third party, so I know which parts of the design I need to convert or rasterise to keep the design as it needs to be if opened in another piece of software.

I'm both talking about a column grid and a modular grids. In Affinity you can make a grids with the "guide" and "grid" manager. The thing is that if you want to have multiple grids for an interesting layout you have to setup, for example, a column grid with the "guide" manager and place "Ruler guides" before you can change the guide manager for the second column grid. For experimenting with different grid options it would be awesome if you could make multiple grids with de "guide" and "grid" managers. Switching between Designer and Publishing, making different masterpages, setting al up again, and changing it a few times takes quite a while. Having the options for multiple grids will be way more productive

It would be great if Affinity gets the possibility for multiple grids in the same document. It can be done like normal layers, but for grids. This will make designing with compound grids possible for more complex graphic design.

Thnx! This solves my problem. Didn't think it would be this easy

For some UI Design I need to change the padding of the bounding box to "hugging" the text. How do I do this in Affinity Designer? It would make designing a lot easier for me

Serif should create an easy to use marketplace for the plugins that will be creating for the Affinity Suite when the SDK is released

In the sense that when you make an interface and you click a button it will show what what happens when you click it. For example a play button changes shape or a gallery image changes. It could be done by linking different artboards with each other depending on where you click or a animation function

That's a bummer. What's the main difference? Is there some sort of interactivity in the programs?

I'm looking into UI design and see that everyone is talking about designing UI's in Figma and Adobe XD. Since I have the V2 Affinity Suite I'm wondering if Affinity Designer can replace these programs or would that be a pain in the ass?

I see people are still complaining about the discount they think they deserved. All I can think is "don't they have something better to do with their lifes?". Let's say you get an extra 10% discount. That's just $20 or so. I just can't wrap my head around all the privileged people that think they deserve more discounts. Stop victimising yourself and get on with your life! Nobody is forcing you to buy V2. If you feel like you're getting ripped off by Serif, just don't buy it and go for Adobe's CC rental.
