Thank you Dave, That's not too painful a workaround - and it keeps it vector so great. Thank you! Mike

Very keen to see calligraphic brushes implemented in Affinity Designer! I know this is on the current feature request list, but just giving it a vote, and hoping it will make the next version. I do like the Illustrator implementation, where I can modify the brush by rotating the elliptical stroke profile, and view the calligraphic effect on the stroke live. At the moment, I need to do this in Illustrator, then expand the outline and copy / paste, export / import / open in Designer, and this process invariably makes a bit of a mess of it by adding numerous bezier points. I have experimented with the "Pressure" option in Designer's Stroke palette, but this obviously is not intended to be the same functionality. Thanks!

Would really like to see this too - an equivalent of the Command-H (Hide Edges) command in Illustrator, which I use continually.

Bump!

Hi fellow designers, Making the transfer from Illustrator. A few little nits and glitches in Designer, and a few features I miss, but it really is getting there now! What a brilliant product. I am experiencing a stroke printing problem. Strokes are printing too skinny and emaciated-looking. If I have a big fat stroke, it prints as a skinny little line for most of the strokes throughout the document. I can fix it by temporarily rasterising the object, then print, then undo the rasterisation, but it would be a big pain to go through my entire document doing that before printing. Come to think of it, a workaround would be just to export to TIFF, then print. Guess that works, but I expect the type wouldn't be quite as crisp. Interestingly, expanding the strokes also makes them too skinny. So I'm figuring this is how Designer is "interpreting" the strokes in some way. I'm printing on a Canon Pixma IP 7250. Designer v. 1.3.2. Latest version OS X. How can I fix this? Thanks, Lano
