Very kind, but I am afriad, this one is definately on me, no mistake. You are correct though it is a crowded panel. While we are at it, WHY is the type leading so far from the Type size box??? That I din't get at all. Steve

Thanks Carl, got into it and now I think I have it down.

Thank you Bryce, I feel like such an idiot. I still don't know how it happened, I was trying to select an item with the direct selection tool on a lower layer using the command key at the same time as selecting and before I knew wht was happening the pasteboard had moved around the current axis selction. I will have to whatch that one it is annoying. Thanks again, Steve Warren

Working away and all of a sudden my pasteboard moved to an angle off level, WHY, HOW ????????? Please advise ASAP as I am sitting with client looking like a complete FOOL. Steve Warren - Australia'

Hi all, Does Designer have any stock stroke which have themes, i.e. Footprints, fancy icons arrows etc. We are doing some maps and need to indicate walking path and the like and the client wants foot prints. Kind regards, Steve Warren

Does anyone know if Designer can produce the same effect as in Illustrator of Text Envelope Warp. Or if it is called something different in Designer. We need this. Kind regards, Steve Warren - Australia

Fab, I’ll give it a go. Kind regards, Steve.

Good morning Gary, Correct, I had stoked the circle with a Brush and then raserised that layer in the hope I could create outlines and then Knockout/erase the background. I didn't want it as a raster, I wanted it as a vector so I could easily change the colour and more impportantly get a cleaner edge finish, rasters no mate how high are not as clean and sharp or as editable. Thank you for yuor time. Kind regards, Steve Warren - Australia

Yes that is what I meant. Thank you I did find that erase option I am still getting use to the different naming from Adobe where it is refered to as Knockout. Also I want to convert this to outlines so it is cleaner and not a rasterfile. Any clues how to achieve this?

Good afternoon all, Can anyone point me in the direction where I can set a layer to knockout the layer below. I am trying to create a circle with a painted edge. I have a circle on a layer and a stroke on a higher layer with the desired brush stroke. I set it to white and just sits there as white. I want it gone and just leave the coloured layed below. Many thanks in advance. Kind regards, Steve Warren Australia. Colour Circle.tiff

Can anyone tell me how to update all linked files in a document without having to do each one individully?? with Linked files prefered as the default setting (don't like that) there must be a simple way to relink files from a common folder as with Indesign. Many thanks.

How do I set preferences for Designer as the stand preferences that will remain when ever i open the program. I have looked at the preferences panel and can't find any where I can set the measurements to metric as a standard for measure and Points for text and spacing/kerning. In Adobe, and it makes me shiver using the name, I can acces preferences before opening a document and set the program preferences to remain from there. Any ideas would be helpful. Also - we run a Mimaki CJV30 - 130 and need a plugin for Rasterlink and Finecut so we can run the output to the Mimaki from Designer. Is there a plugin from Affinity? I have called Mimaki, however I think that represenations from Serif would carry a lot more weight. Kind regrds, Steve Warren - Australia

Good morning all, Tried all of the suggestions and none worked as I would expect. You need to be able to effect change to a single line in a cell, should be simple, not this hard. Indesign handles these issues much better. Having said that I would be happy if I am missing something. Kind regards Steve Warren.

Hi Palatino, I don’t have any trouble creating those simple tables, it is when you need to make them more complex, I.e. removing line and boxes to alter the shape or content areas, plus varying line thickness and length. Have a look at the drivers log image created in Indesign tables in my first post. Thanks for the reply. Kind regards, Steve Warren - Australia

Thank FD I’ll let you know how I go, so many years using Indesign warps the brain a little and I need to forget and relearn, fast. Still, I love a challenge. Kind regards, Steve Warren - Australia

Thanks Joachim, I did watch that one, but it does not answer the question about being able to alter cell specific attributes. Thanks anyway. Regards Steve

It is not about importing a table, I need to be able to be more creative and adaptable when creating from scratch in Publisher. I will however give importing. Or placing a table from indesign a go. Thanks.

Good morning Again, OK, Table creartion and design. I can't select individual cells and remove or adjust line stroke width or colour. When I select a line position even if I have selected particular cells the change occurs over the entire line, not just the selected cell. This is a real problem when you wish to create a table which is more intircate tnaj an Excel spread sheet style. See Below the one on the right was created in Indesign using Tables and selective removal of cells and lines.

Good morning all, Newbie to Affinity here, been with Adobe from their start till now and am having a little trouble finding things in the new UI. Where do I find the text preferences i.e. Set all text to output acuratley for colour selection particularly Blacks. We dont want rich blacks for type. Also where do we set text to over print. We dont want in knocking out in coloursespecially with fine or small type faces. I'm sure I will have lots mores questions but hose two will do for now, if there is a way of searching in the program for these features that would be handy. Kind regards, Steve Warren - Australia

Good morning all, We currently run Rasterlink RIP with FineCut to link and run our Mimaki wide format printer/cutter model CJV30-130. We have an extention which is in Illustrator to drive the software creation and subsequent print queing for the Mimaki. Will this same extention work with Designer or is there a new extention required? Or do we just try to keep Illustrator running? It is an important part of our production line. Kind regards, Steve Warren - Australia

Hi Walt, Thank you. In my impaitience, I did find that process unfold. Just not the schedule of events I would have expected. In my view I would have felt more comfortable having signed up for an account before having to add items to a purchase commitment basket. Just a personal quirk I guess. Thank you for your advice and guidance. HAve a lovely evening. Kind regards, Steve Warren - Australia

Good morning again, I have found the way through. All programs downloaded and installed ready to produce. I am sure we will have more questions at the start. Thank you. kind regards, Steve Warren - Australia

Good morning all, I am trying to sign up for a store account, tried using the forum sign in account detail and was told via popup I dont have a store account. How do I get/create one?? All I want to do is buy a heap of programes and start using Affinity instead of Adobe. Any help would be appreciated, thank you. Kind regars, Steve Warren - Australia

Good evening all, Does Publisher have the ability to perform step and repeat in a document. We normally do multiples up of business cards 21up, 7 Rows x 3 columns. Kind regards, Steve Warren
