  1. Thank @firstdefence and @Alfred for your responses. I typically import images, or other data, from pdf files, and after importing them I have to make them all of the same size. Another use case is that I import an eps with 500 dots in there, and I want to resize all the dots by a certain amount. In this cases I am not creating the objects from scratch, but I rather must act on pre-existing objects. I hope this clarifies things
  2. Dear All, I am new to Affinity Designer (just migrated from Intaglio). I often find myself in need of: * Applying a certain action on an object, say, rescaling a rectangle around its top-left corner, and fixing its width to 10cm * Repeating exactly the same action for each of 10 rectangles that are also on the page. Note that making the first rectangle and then cloning it is not an option. Along the same lines, I would like sometimes to rescale all circles that match a certain property: I know how to select by stroke, say, but I don't know how to rescale all circles in the selection at the same time. How do I accomplish that quickly and efficiently in Affinity Designer 2? Best Daniele
  3. This is very helpful, thanks. I wonder how reactive the developers are to feature requests. Thank you Daniele
  4. Dear All, I am new to Affinity Designer, and I have seen how to place content from a file (and file path). My main workflow involves dragging onto an Affinity Designer drawing space images (in the form of PDFs) that need to replace other images. To clarify (but it may be a distraction for the question) I use LaTeXiT to produce mathematical equations in the form of PDFs, which I then need to copy/past, or simply drag on the Affinity Designer space. Often I want to replace a formula in the drawing with a new one. When I paste the formula in Affinity Designer (or when I drag it from an external application) the result is pasted in the top left corner of Affinity Designer. What I would like to achieve instead is a quick replacement of the formula in place. I would like to "place" the new formula with the new one. Is there any way to achieve that quickly with Affinity Designer? More generally, how does Object placement work when the object is not in a file, but in the clipboard? Thank you Daniele
  5. Dear All, I have been an Affinity Design (MacOS) user since yesterday, and I'm enjoying it very much. As part of my workflow I: 1. Cut a PDF of an external source (a sketch with figures and text) 2. Paste it into Affinity Designer 3. Manually change all the fonts to match a particular font family, which will in generally be different from the one of the original PDF. 4. Export the new figure My experience is that Affinity Designer will inherit the font family of the original PDF, which makes step 3 necessary, and a bit tedious. My questions are the following: * Is there a way to make sure that the imported fonts get automatically converted to a specific font family, so that step 3 becomes unnecessary? * Is it possible to "script" or automate certain tasks within Affinity Designer? Do Mac users in this forum use Apple Scripts in conjunction with Affinity Designer? Are there resources for this? Thanks in advance for your help Daniele
