[Icon Pack]

Thanks very much. Will give it a try later. 

[Icon Pack]

Thanks for suggesting the Toffu link. They have a very nice set of Architectural furniture for Design 2. These are the sets I purchased, through Toffu

[Icon Pack]

The Architecture drawings / graphic say: Software compatibility: Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 or newer. Affinity Photo and Designer. CorelDRAW. + PNG files are suitable with almost every graphic software. I saved them to my desktop in a file, open the file and I can see each individual pieces are separate and grouped. I selected all, and dragged them into the Assets, in a new category I created. I can see they are in there, but when I tap on one, it does not open and I cannot see them as individual pieces of the architecture furniture. I will keep working on it. At least I can open the file and copy and paste. It is just not in the saved assets. Thanks

I am assuming all of the vector drawings and graphics that are compatible with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator will also be compatible with Affinity Design and Photo. Thanks very much. I just recently updated to V2 package, after using Affinity Photo for years on the Mac and Designer on the iPad.

Are there icon assets for architecture layout plans, furniture, bathroom fixtures ....? 

[Affinity Photo layers lost]

I thought Affinity prided itself for having one price after purchasing. Now it's another purchase each time to upgrade. Unlike Apple and many other apps. Hopefully there is a discount for owning the previous version! Thanks

At least it's not monthly, like Adobe

 

[Affinity Photo layers lost]

I believe I have V1, since I see View>Studio>Layers. The Affinity Windows are still separate, finally able to bring the Windows back together, and choose the option, View>Studio>Layers, which was unchecked when it it together as one window. As separate windows it was checked. Thanks. 

How can I update the program to V2, or is that an additional cost? 

[Affinity Photo layers lost]

I guess Apple IOS is different. There is not an option:  Window > Layers  to reactivate. There is an option that says "Replace Tiled Window", but it is light, not an option to use. 

I tried Separated mode, and all the windows separated and I could see once again layers. When I brought the windows back together, it disappeared once again. At least I can keep it as a separate mode to see the layers, but it's not ideal way to work. Any other suggestions? Maybe someone who has a Mac? Thanks for trying. 

Here are the options in a screen shot:

I seem to have dragged the layers drop down menu out of my Affinity Photo, in Apple IOS, on my MacBook Pro.

There is now only Adjustments, Effects, Styles, Stock. The layers is no longer visible. I do not see an option in view or any of the other menus. How can I bring it back. I have already closed the program and re-opened.

Perfect. Thank you for the link.

Thank you very much. Now I see the option for Create Artboard.

If I did not choose this option in the beginning, which I did not, what tools or options am I loosing? I guess my question is the difference in Create Art Board or not creating art board. 

[Changing Measuring tool]

I guess I am not follow you, "Create Artboards". When I open File/ New Document,  I have the options to choose: Print, Press Ready, Photo, Web, Devises (iPad,...) , Architectural. Print includes the different paper sizes. I do not see any option Create Art Boards.

There are the options under New, which are open, recent, templates, samples. I believe all of these are within the Art Board, since I have all the tools on the left side.

There is an Art Board tool, 2nd tool down. 

[Changing Measuring tool]

I am new to Designer 2. I have been using Affinity Photo for years, and I understand both have their different advantages. I first created the new document as an A3 document. Later discovering I can use Arch 3. I assume this is an Art Board, or how do I know if it is Art Board? 

I clicked on the Unit of Measurement at the intersection of the ruler, but there was no option to change to meters. 

[Changing Measuring tool]

Thanks for the support. I tried right clicking on the horizontal ruler, nothing happens. I have a MacBook Pro, with track pad, which may work differently than Windows.

The scaling I used to create the floor plan in Design 2, was 1": 1ft, and I change the 1ft to 6ft. It was set up 1in : 6ft in the Drawing scale. I set the measure tool to 10' first.  

I went in to the Document settings, and changed the units to meters. Then changed the measure tool from 1:1 to 1:72. That made the correct calculation for 10ft to 3.048m. It now shows the correct scale. It would be nice if there was an easier way the program calculated the scale from the ft to Mts. 

The only other question, and this is a different subject, how do you rotate the document 90 degrees. I only see the option to rotate left or right, which takes 6 moves to rotate 90. Photo Affinity has the option to rotate 90 degrees clockwise or counter clockwise. 

 

[Changing Measuring tool]

How can I change the measuring tool from feet to meters, when creating a floor plan. I would like to be able to go back and forth between the two. Right now I have 1:6ft. I believe 6' would then read 1.83m when changed to metric.
