Good morning,
I totally agree with DavidSilverSteel.
I always use Serif Draw Plus X8 because it allows you to quickly and accurately draw simple technical plans with good ergonomics and logical operation, unlike Autocad derivatives which require handling. It allows me to design ventilation equipment and have it manufactured and professionals using CAD programs can easily read my plans with the dimensions exported in dwg!!! But the use of Designer could open up more powerful and modern possibilities. The objective is not to make real CAD software, but simply to continue what the ancestor of AD did very well nearly 10 years ago. Currently, there is a black hole between vector drawing software and the CAD software that Draw Plus filled. I don't understand, when we have a good technical base, why Affinity limits its product in this way. It is the same for the import and export of dwg and dxf format. Older generations of programs like Serif Draw Plus, CorelDraw or Canvas X allowed all of this. So I'm still working with them but it's not a long term solution. Can we expect an update in this direction. It is however not complicated. Thanking you in advance if Affinity staff reads the forum.
