  1. I’d love to be able to always break any object down to it’s base components. You guys do this with converted type (Muey bueno!) but not shapes created with the boolean tools (Boo! lean).

     

    Currently if I create two shapes that intersect and subtract the first shape, a new curve layer is created with all the new objects inside, I cannot cut the shapes out by node selection or by object. I would have to duplicate the object and delete any unwanted nodes. This gets tedious very quickly.

     

    In my desired scenario, my curves layer is a group containing each object. Or it could initially be a single object as now, with some option to break out the individual shapes, creating a group. As you guys do with the text tool :) Alternatively if this layer was still a single object, if the user were able so select some nodes and cut and paste them into a new layer, currently you can only copy whole objects.

     

    Actually, copying nodes between objects is generally a lovely thing to have.

  2. @Andy - Yes that sounds about right, you're a bit more dependent on layers in photo than Designer so it makes a lot of sense. I'm a little layer-phobic in vector apps anyway :) On a side note I think you guys could do with some further indication of what is and is not a group or layer in the stack, I find the grey text isn't enough. I've found when getting stuck in on larger documents I get a bit lost. A little folder icon in the corner of the group thumbnail would be sufficient :)

  3. I use illustrator, sketch and AD. For creating single elements and actual artwork I spend more time in AD nowadays.

    Sketch has horrible drawing tools, in reality it's all the surrounding features that make sketch good - pages, art boards, shared styles and symbols. These features are present but I've never been convinced they are particularly good implementations.

    Most of these features are on the road map for AD and making a guess you'll see a good deal of them this year. I'd wager they're going to do a better job of them too.

    Sketch has a very long way to go to make it a decent drawing tool. There's a much shorter Road for AD to be a decent UI design tool.
