[Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.3.5.5)]

Hi,

thanks for you quick answer! It´s great to see how dedicated you are with your apps and also the fact that this team cares about their costumers. that´s the key to success in my opinion. Here is the link to that file that gave me problems when converted to pdf.

[Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.3.5.5)]

Hi there,

After one year of its release i am using your trial version of Affinity Designer once again.

The real aim is to switch from win (I use Corel Draw a lot) to mac.

Once again i am very pleased to see your improvements and that this app is so easy and so intuitive to use and pretty stable too.

I found some issues while i was doing some test with some works. Some of them may be my lack of experience with the app, but some others may not.

 

Before i go into that, i would like to point out that my aim is to help you guys to detect some possible errors and that you guys to help me having a great app that allows me to do my work :)

 

here are some problems i had/found using the trial version 1.3.5:

 

Guides

- I´m not able to select more than a guide at the same time

- Can´t set my own zero point of the ruler

- Can´t change the guides color

- Can´t rotate the guides

 

Grids

I have a huge trouble to visualize the grid well. Is it possible to change the Color/Size

 

Nudges

- Can´t find a way to change the nudge distance

 

Text

- is there a way to Convert frame text into artistic text?

- Is it possible to have a text and separate all the lines into independent lines?

 

Vectors

- Autotrace would help

 

Printing

- Still think it would be important to have more options when printing… it would help me a lot to be able to set the page size and distribute the work through the page and set the distance between them (mainly for bleeding) and crop marks… and export all that to a pdf. I know i can do all that manually but is a boring and slow process…

 

Problem Exporting to pdf

- I was exploring the app, trying to make a background with a few images and blending them and i tried to export that into a pdf. The background changed a lot. if i export that to a jpeg or a tiff every thing is ok.

 

congratulations for the app once more and hope that soon i can use this tool for my daily work.

 

Best regards

This would really help a lot! This is such a great app :)

[Importing Pdf and Postscript files into AD]

Thanks anyway Happy Kitten! :)

It´s great to have this feature! 

[Importing Pdf and Postscript files into AD]

Sorry, forget about my silly question... 

I just found out that double clicking the object i have access to all the objects. It works great! :)

[Importing Pdf and Postscript files into AD]

Hi there,

here i am again with another question...

I´m trying to import a work i´ve done with Corel Draw into the AD. The only way i though i could do it was by creating a Pdf or even a Postscript file. The fact is that i can import them into my art board, but i´m not able to edit it. Is the a way i can access individually each object within the file?

 

[Full screen and hide tool pallets]

Nice! Thanks for sharing Happy Kitten! :)

[Full screen and hide tool pallets]

this is just a little thing compared to real needs of designers, so i understand that are more important things to do. I'm just testing the app and if i find something that feels unconfortable or if i think could be better i let you know. I think your app is great, and i see that the team is working hard to make this app even better, and more important they ear what user have to say. keep the good work! thanks for the tip, it helps a bit! :)

[Full screen and hide tool pallets]

Hi, is there some way to show only your art board in fullscreen

without seeing all the tool pallets? (Just like we type "tab" or "F"

on photoshop or "F9" on Corel Draw).

 

 

 

 

 

[CDR Import]

This would really be helpful! :)

[Issue with opening my work]

Hi, thanks for the help!

I did that document again from the beginning and i tried to use the same images and everything seems fine. Not even a problem, and without any crash at all. I close and open the new file without any issue. But i´ll send you the bull image (...man i can´t stand bullfighting) anyway.  

 

[Printing cards]

thanks anyway.

Hope that it is in your "to do" list.

it would be great to have that option in the future.

i'll keep tying your app. till now i think you are on the right way! :)

[Printing cards]

Hi,

i made a card and i´m trying to export it to pdf,

but i wanted it to have crop marks... and i wanted more than

one card per page. is there an easy way to do this in  Affinity Design?

Or do i have to do it all manually? 

[Issue with opening my work]

:) thanks

[Issue with opening my work]

Hi,

I have been trying you app through a trial, and till nows seams great. 

But right now i had a problem that i don´t know if it is a common one.

I was making a big Poster and i saved and closed it (the file and the AD app).

Now i try to opened it and it crashes the app...

But the app is still working fine with other files, except this one...
