    exactly that is the only thing that makes me think a lot before buying affinity instead of illustrator its just a small and very effective tool that you cant do with out it .

    It is better to forget about that, my friend. I really don't think that is going to happen in a near future...
    I guess you don't know, but even the few BASIC geometry operations that ADesigner have, are faulty (after so many years). See my topic about this:
    If the development team have not been able to fix that critical issue in all this time, then I think it is completely unlikely that we will have something similar to the Shape Builder Tool in the near time.

    It would be in the document settings. When I did some tests a few weeks ago I had mixed results changing the document DPI after the original document had been created. I would suggest creating a new document and set the DPI right from there. Try 600 and see how that comes out and how large your file is.

    Not sure why you are sending png or jpg at all. Why not just do everything in PDF? Or is your client requesting png/jpg?

    In most cases a print ready PDF with crop marks and .125" bleed all the way around is going to work. 
    I would make the suggestion that when working with a client find out what the end uses will be. Can make a big difference in design if you are designing of a building or a flyer to be mailed out.

    Anytime you export to jpg, png, or any format like it you are not going to have razor sharp text. The text is rasterized and then has resolution that has limits. You could boost up the dpi to 1200 though that will give you a pretty large file in most cases, but the "ragged" edges will still be there, just smaller. Ideally if you do not need to be using jpg or png, still to PDF. Text will remain vector so you could blow it up 10000% and there will be no resolution lost, it will remain razor sharp. 
    What are you trying to do with this exported file?

    Hi
    What format did you export?
    You need to export a specific format that supports vector shapes, PDF, SVG, EPS.
    Export to vector has limitations, and some effects will be rasterized.

    os design reacted to Pankaj in When Affinity Designer will get the power of SHAPE BUILDER TOOL.   
    If one has to name one tool which give incredible power to a user, most of the user will say its Shape Builder Tool.
    It not only can reduce the time consumption in a long project but also give the freedom of creativity to a user.
    One can easily test out the prototype without going too sophisticated on a idea.
    Thank you.

    os design reacted to Jowday in Bugs with Add and Divide geometry operations   
    It is depressing. Geometry operators are exactly essential and critical in vector software. Letting customers waiting years for fixes of geometry operators tells a lot about Serif. Don't buy into the hype or marketing. Believe what you see and get.
    Anyway. After a mounting number of customer (!) complaints Serif did improve some of the algorithms (fx expand stroke) and released the improvements in release 1.8 a few months ago. With disastrous bugs and issues though. Kind of funny though. Their marketing of fixes of algorithms that performed as poorly as you experienced with divide like "Massive expand stroke improvements was far out! "Get incredibly accurate results with far fewer nodes than before" Yeah, incredibly they managed to get it to work after years. That is what I call city market marketing - "Get incredible motorics by not being piss drunk" ...
    Release 1.8.0 was almost unusable. That tells a lot about their testing efforts and hints to a rushed release. Finally in release 1.8.3 things improved. Still, we are waiting for improvements to divide and perhaps they will come in release 1.9? Perhaps not? After waiting for years it is impossible to mobilise serious optimism. Its hard to put faith in the future of Affinity Designer and Serif when the program has so few vector features - and the fundamental ones wasn't even implemented professionally. 
    I like working in Designer a lot. But only for hobby use. I worked professionally with boolean operators in other design programs since 1996 and privately since 1990? Serif made their first vector software in 1993. It is interesting that they are still struggling with boolean operators and algorithms 27 years later.

    You have started quite right – you just seemed to have lost concentration and overview when it was about deleting unwanted parts.
    In Affinity it might be easier for you if you fill all shape objects with a fill color because it enables you to click anywhere on a shape to select + delete it. This fill color has a similar function as the grey fill which appears when using the "Shape builder" of AI.
    Note in your drawing is a straight line (above the eye) which you probably created unintended and don't want.
    For the final coloring select the related shapes for one color –>  use the "Add" geometry button –> and apply their according color.
    Continue until all shapes are combined as wanted and got their desired color.

    As for question 1 – Shape Builder – I don’t think anyone (maybe including the developers) will be able to tell you whether such functionality will come to any of the Affinity applications, never mind when.  However, if you give us a visual idea of what you are trying to achieve, someone may be able to help.
    As for question 2 – Export to AI – I think the answer will probably be the same as for question 1, but for various different reasons.
    Overall, as for most new features, if they come they will come but not many people will know for definite when, or even if.

    A very necessary element for working with the golden ratio for example.

    Again, from my side. If you are a professional and need to work out a lot of ideas in a quick manner, the shape builder tool is essential. It's the one tool, I - and MANY of my friends can't miss and that's why I cannot recommend this as an 100% alternative to illustrator. 

    Sure, technicially spoken it does kind of the same thing as the boolean tools, but if you have plenty of shapes to combine, you may have to do a lot of work to make it happen. For me personally, I've purchased all products by Affinity, but can'T use them to my speed.

    With version 1.8 I'm very happy with a lot of newly added features, but I hope for 1.9, the shape builder will be added. People desperately search for alternatives to the Adobe cosmos, but I believe, it still takes quite a bit of time.

    os design reacted to Gear maker in can i have a help in divide and add ?   
    I am assuming that inside the Artboard there are individual layers of circles.  Click on the right facing arrow to the left of the thumbnail.  I would guess you have several circles like this:

    Or you may have to create them with the circle tool.  First make a copy of the circles as some will be needed multiple times.  But then pick a couple circles and work on them.  Like this:

    Then if you do an Intersect in the geometry tools it will leave you with the shape of the head.  When doing a subtract the order of the layers is critical, so if the results aren't what you expect drag one layer in the layer panel to be in a different order.    Then if you look at the 3 circles that outline the beak.  Selecting 2 of them and doing a subtraction, then select the result and subtract the 3rd circle.  Depending on the order of the circles you could do one subtract on all 3 circles, but doing 2 at a time would be easier.  You may end up with a layer called Curves instead of the usual Curve.  If so do a divide to get the beak.
    Continue with the rest of the circles in this manor.
