When using Pencil tool, If user draw a Square and Hold, it becomes a perfect geometric shape, is like Procreate does, in the video below sample One of the thing that I feel like it could be really nice for the pencil tool experience. Sculpt Mode, is if you Hold Shift the cursor will turn into a Radius that you can Press to Relax the Nodes, is acts like sculpt the lines. This will be perfect to Polish some curves and vector drawings that still get not an organic flow. This is a feature that we use in Sculpting to smooth the polygons in 3D, in 2d this also can be really useful

hi @Ash I tested and wanted to thank you for this massive improvement I use pencil tool every day and this was one of the most game changer feature for illustrators like me, Also I'm really happy to see these tools getting attention. I did a video to show my followers how affinity is getting better and better

mate, As UX you should know that the function is about resize and rotate as the headline topic says, which is relevant to a transform function, not very much as an alignment tool. My suggestion is that, this tool could be included inside the Transform Panel, for better convenience. not only on the dropdown alignment which makes users clicking twice (again, not very convenient in terms of User Experience).

Hi, @Ash good feature While using the new Make Same after a while, using the Dropdown panel is quite redudant. In logic terms of UI/UX This is a kind of function that should be included in the Transform panel, 1. I believe it would make more sense and make users happy to not click twice to reach this useful function thanks anyway

the nodes generate still are not good and haven't received updates to smooth in appropriate way, I understand that this is the only solution for now but as I show on video, sculpt fails a lot, the idea of bringing this topic is to inform Serif to give attention to this matter

The nodes while using Pencil tool definitely needs an upgrade in the way that it performs

I will attach a video recorded of me using the Pencil tool, I'm not seeing great performance in the vector drawings while using this tool. And I agree that we could have a 1. A smoothing factor to have a better node generator. 2. Even with the Stabilizer it doesn't provide a good quality nodes. 3. Sculpt mode is not acting well. video below.

I would love to see more improvement of Strokes and Lines for Vectorizing resources, I hope Affinity will give attention to this feature's requested.

I must agree, I'm receiving notification in my email and seeing some people discouraging and being ironic to the users that post what they wish to see on Affinity, it's really toxic.

Force pixel alignment fails with the snapping option turned on Since this doesn't work to all existing decimals objects, The suggestion to Turn off the decimal means literally: Apply to Whole all document. 1. Make All existing objects/layers that contains decimal Position or Scale, full integer So we don't need to remove manually the decimals added because of the Alt etc..

I can't agree, There are many Game Artist that use pixel perfect numbers, UI Artists, Social media that needs to export files in correct number, I honestly struggle to do UI in Affinity because of the pixel addition on the decimals during the snapping or Alts (duplicating an object) Like @TrentL explained in there, we need to verify always on the export, it's really a pain for us that want to export 1.000 x 1.000 and not 1.001 x 1.000 Again, Using these Auto Snap functions or hold Alt while moving object, it makes Affinity use decimals and ignores the pixel snap function. I think that Affinity should have a function to Turn Off the Decimals on the document, like real pixel alignment document. I've worked with Affinity since 2018 working daily, and I always have a problem with the export adding 1 pixel, so this is an issue that can affect many users too.

@StuartRc update regard my end, recently I have switched to Mac OS, and the crashes while editing brushes doesn't seems to happen in MacOS, probably this is a bug related with Affinity on Windows. I hope the team will take care of it, I have students that use and get my brushes.

Sharing this feedback that I got while using the beta, on MacOS M1 max I've 2023-11-15 19-06-31.mp4 Tested already with GPU turned on / off, same lag

Thank you, so far it works better, but I still get some crashes when moving brushes. the edit hopefully is working now, thanks mate for the help

Sorry, I have no idea what is this raster_brushes.propcol (I use windows and can't find this file in my search explorer) I've already tried to reset the brush to factory, I've already reinstalled the apps. Even creating a normal round brush, the app still crashes, as the following attachment

Same here, 2.2.1 nothing fixed. I can't really create any brushes for a while, is becoming more and more frustrating to work with it.

Affinity Designer and Photo Impossible to create new brushes in Affinity, Still Crashing on the Brushes panel, when creating brushes or moving brushes. New version, but nothing fixed...

Sorry but your answer doesn't solve the issue, The pen tool with pressure create lines and not organic shapes. even if you expand the strokes not a good solution for the painting purpose

Hi, I'd like to write this suggestion for the upcoming features for Affinity Designer. What I miss for since I started in Affinity in 2018, is the ability to Paint and use the Vector Brushes as Real vector, Or, a tool to Paint in Vector (Like Blob Brush from Illustrator) without the need to draw a shape with the pencil / pen tool. as an Example, I'm making many illustrations that need a flat painting style, and if we could make Paint in Vector and also Erase like we do in Raster, it would be awesome.

Hi, Nop, only affinity designer.

Tested Affinity photo 2.1 and it crashes same way I assume that it is this Linked Brushes feature that is corrupted.

I'm trying to edit my brushes for the past 40 mins, in it crashes always, I hope they will fix this sooner

1. I've reinstalled the app. Crashing even when trying to open the Brush to Edit. Guys is possible that I can go back to the previous version? I can't work with this bug

While using the Brushes panels, any action that I do, like, Move Brush, duplicate etc.. It crashes the app. Video attached: Using Windows v11 CLIP_10_59_21.mp4
