Definitely a +1 for live paint, freefrom gradient and blend... these are things I use every day. I have to use the software that will give me what I need. Even though I love Designer and use this as much as I possibly can I have to switch to Illustrator for some projects, because I need these features.

It's just a bit of a clumsy way of working. I had to do a series of 28 freefrom gradients and switched back to Illustrator for that, because it's so much quicker and easier in Illustrator. I'd prefer to just do all of this in Designer, but I also have a ticking clock as a freelance designer, so I need to work with the fastest route.

Yay! I'm so happy the spiral tool finally made it to Affinity. And thank you for making it so much better than the Adobe Illustrator Spiral Tool. I'm in love! A few more options for gradients along paths would be amazing 🤩

That would be amazing!!!

Add a Coil or Spring as option to new Spiral Shape Tool...

Would be nice if the gradient can be taken along the stroke like in Illustrator. BUT, I'm sooooo happy that spirals are finally available in Affinity. I've requested this feature so many times and waited many years. And the spiral features are a lot better than Illustrator, so thank you Affinity Serif!!!

Spiral
Markus van der Westhuizen replied to lenogre's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
To be quiet honest, I don't know why I should have to fake something like a Spiral or why I should have another piece of software on my computer (and that may not be available on the iPad) just because it is not available on AD. I've used FreeHand and Illustrator since 1994 and both apps had spiral tools back then already. Surely it can't be rocket science to include a spiral tool? Why does Affinity not just take the opensource data from InkScape and build a tool from there? I really don't want to leave the AD workspace to go to another app to make a spiral (which I use a lot), and then import or copy and paste it over into AD to continue work there... I'm sorry. If I need a spiral intensive job I go to Illustrator and I do the entire job there, no matter how much I love AD. PS. The Spiral tool is the only reason I still have Adobe on my computer.
