    Well if that fixed the issue that would be great I will give it a shot.

    This is still happening to me. Any updates or news on this @Ash?

    Totally agree. The pixel persona and the use of blurs and the transparency tool. The gradient mesh tool was great when it first came out like 20 years ago but today there are far better and quicker ways to achieve even better results. The gradient mesh tool was also unforgiving and destructive. Aka the Gradient "Mess" tool.

    @Ash This works thanks, but it would be great for the team to simply add a reset button or a disable toggle to the iso panel to be able to rework a shape then reapply the updated shape to the iso plane.

    Thanks v_kyr. I normally get into the app and try things out then head to the help if I don't see what I'm looking for. I've seen those features you linked to. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. I'm talking more about advanced distortion features like Designers new warp features arc, bend, mesh, etc... specifically for distorting type for logo work, etc... For the transparency I know about the blending modes and clipping masks, I'm talking more like Designers transparency tool where you can fade an object or a group of objects (not just a gradient) from 100% to 0%.about layer mask type features. I see that you Amadine can set a gradient to have a colour stop with 0% opacity which is a good start. Illustrators method with its opacity mask shape is cumbersome when you need to make a lot of them in a project.

    I've been checking out Amadine. Overall the application seems stable and responsive. I like its double click isolation mode and the line thickness tool as you say does work well and the it does have a clean boolean operation without leaving a mess of points. Does Amadine have any kind of transparency tool/layer masking or distortion/warping tools?

    Mac here. I'm not hearing any bleeps. Is it a preference or a system alert thing maybe?

    I know this has been asked before but I'd like to ask again. Is there is any chance we could get the ability to password protect exported pdfs to restrict editing and/or opening?
  9. retrograde
    Is this still the case?
  10. retrograde
    Yes it is! Thanks!

    Hey @Ash getting some additional transparency tool presets or the ability to add our own presets would greatly enhance my workflow. I find I am recreating the same setup all the time and the ability to either have or create and save a preset would be awesome. Currently I have created assets of the few I use often but the ability to create and save a preset to have it in the context toolbar would be nice. Examples would be linear with transparent ends with a solid centre or elliptical with solid edges and a transparent centre... or linear dashed, eg solid, transparent, solid, transparent.

    The Edit All Layers button seems a little hidden to me, especially for new users. Maybe the tooltip could be more descriptive or maybe a menu toggle item could be added in the Layers or Select dropdown something like "apply to all layers and artboards" ?? I'm not sure where it would make the most sense to add it but perhaps it's worth looking into, to be a little clearer for people searching for the feature.

    I've felt the same minor annoyance with this getting used to V2. It would be cool to be able to move them up or down in the stack to whatever order you like.

    Thanks guys!

    It's not a blend tool and agree I think we definitely need one but the new somewhat hidden quick grid feature can help to layout simple shapes from the shape tools. To use it, grab a shape from the shape tool panel and drag it out, before letting go of the tool press the right arrow key to add copies of your shape to the right of the original. Each press adds a new copy, holding the arrow key adds space between each copy. You can use any of the arrows keys to add copies in that direction. While still pressed you can resize the shape as you make additional copies and they will all resize at the same time. It's not a perfect solution as it's kind of a one way workflow, once you "unclick" you lose the ability to add more copies or make any adjustments. Hence the need for a proper blend tool, but for some cases this quick grid feature will suffice. Like the opacity/noise toggle feature in the colour panel this one is kind of hidden, once you know, you know, I suppose. Someone should start a thread on these forums of hidden features of the suite, I'm sure there are probably more out there...

    Hi Evening Films. Yes it can. Just make sure you choose the right one to open it with. In other words if you just double click it to open as on a mac it may open in the version you don't want.

    Could be an x/y position taken from the originating artboard. Some repositioning may have to happen occasionally and that's fine. I'm thinking of titles and/or repeating copy information specifically when presenting client concepts so that the info is consistently presented and isn't jumping all over the place from page to page...

    Just a simple 'paste on all artboards' from the edit menu would be welcome. That way single or multiple objects could be pasted at anytime to existing artboards unlike the artboard as a symbol method.

    Blender's "Grease Pencil" module is great for doing 2d in 3d space, once you get familiar with the app, it's pretty amazing for this type of thing. Plus it's open source and free to use.
  20. retrograde
    Yep, plus 1 here too! And also have the brush that is in use stay highlighted in the brush panel. How many times have I had to guess which brush I am using...

    Cool site. Lots of great photo panos.
  22. retrograde
    Good point. I think 30 years using illustrator can cloud ones judgement. Not to mention fighting muscle memory...

    I do have it set to a shortcut for that very reason. It's more of a UI thing to me. If you have a locked padlock icon when it's locked there should be an open padlock when it's unlocked in the same location.
  24. retrograde
    I gotta admit this bugs me a bit too. I could see the argument for saving space in the layer name area but if you're going to have the locked icon there anyways, why not just have the unlock there as well? Seems like over thinking it to me and yes it is a pain to have to go up to the top right corner each time to lock a layer. Both icons should just be in the same spot. A simple fix.

    I am very surprised, A that this wasn't implemented from the start and B that after 3 years of requesting this, it still hasn't been implemented or addressed for that matter... If it's not going to get resolved can we at least get some kind of explanation?? Guys you've got to start reading and responding to your own users forum.
