Hey, I've made a quick&easy trick tutorial for making 2d-chart in AffinityDesigner, hope you like it

.EPS exported from Affinity Designer can't be read by Cinema 4D, no idea why but it's possible be opened in AI, hope to improve this.

I write this command because I need to make perspective distortion on text/shape on my work and I found that kind of warp tool has stay in AffinityDesigner roadmap since 2014! So I think I can do this in Fireworks and transfer the selected objects back to AD by a keyboard shortcut for quick. How to Install? - download and unzip the zip file below, you will get the "Send to AffinityDesigner.jsf" file. - copy & paste the .jsf to Fireworks installation path under "\Configuration\Commands" the full path should be like this: X:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Fireworks CS6\Configuration\Commands How to Use? - export eps from AD to Fw, - make any changes in Fw that you can't do in AD, - run "Send to AffinityDesigner" from Commands menu in Fw, - now AD will auto load the vector/bitmap shapes from Fw without manual saving & opening, - you can bind a keyboard shortcut for this command for extremely fast! Why not use Illustrator? I can copy & paste from both applications! - Yes you can do that, I just write this for those fw users whom didn't buy ai. Send to AffinityDesigner.zip

There're so many measure tools and plugins for ui design software, and I think measure is only for helping designer to tell programmer the size/gap/color... and that's the important & useless work for designer -- we already know the layout setting but we still have to measure just because 'they' don't know. So I wish this feature in AffintiyDesigner: - export kind of config file that stores all layout information, - a plugin or extension to let xcode / android studio / ... to import this config file then the develop tool can auto generate basic layout I don't know if exist this possible, but that's the thing I haven't seen this on other design tool and wish AD will has this feature, just an immature idea.

Really hope official can release some simple api that allow us develop extensions for AD/AP, especially seeing sketch updates so quickly, hope to develop some free extension for affinity software for filling the gap.

@MEB tells the truth and I thinks this is the unreleased function in AD, because I don't think affinity team will design two different ways to do the perspective action right? but maybe they will... who knows :D ps. Cancel source file sharing is a bullshit totally ;)

Interesting, it seems that no one cares about perspetive in AD, 24 hour got 0 view :( maybe AP users more than AD users here? no idea, I think this is the coolest thing I've found. so I decide to cancel source file sharing after next 24 hour - to make it great again :D

Yes, directly exporting as PSD will lost all text information.

Last week I've been asked how to convert .afdesign file to .psd, here's the solution I found: 1. Export your design as .PDF from AffinityDesigner; 2. Use Adobe Illustrator open the exported pdf file and export as .PSD, done~ I've tried export eps/svg/pdf from AD, strongly suggest export as pdf.

I’m glad you like it :lol:

Hi, it's me, wavef again. I've made a Real-Perspetive (not shear things) mockup in AD and you can see the demo in the gif below ( ad source file provided ). it's a unreleased and unstable function in AD, maybe crash your app, damage your un-saved files, blow up your computer~ I don't know. And you may notice "Mockup-3" in the demo has some render issus and it also bring that problem to the exported bitmap, that's why it's unreleased. Keep in mind DO NOT copy and paste anything from this file to your working project !!!

Being inspired when playing 3D Layer Effect, so I've made this mebal ball just for fun, source file attached so everyone can see how to do this -- useless skill :) mebal3.afdesign

I'm always seeing artboard slice size going wrong just like 1600 -> 1601 or 1599, I think force artboard position and size as integer will help a lot, and non-integer doesn't make sense for artboards.

For now when copy&paste artboard, it's at the same position as the orginal, hopefully add this little feature.

Hope embedded document can visit parent document pallette

Convert selected object to Embedded Document, so can easily to make a states-change object.

Pls remove switch to tint mode when apply global color to shape, it makes me disgusted switch back to color wheel EVERYTIME, now I'm trying to not use global color because it'll distract me.

Really need this to add ".9" suffix for slices in different path, but when use "replace export setup", path setting will also be replaced :(

Sometime I will import bitmap into AD for design, but when the bitmap look blurry, it's no way to make it sharpen in AD, I also buy AP but I think AD player will need this little filter, and I am not happy with switch to AP for this little sharpen work everytime, and~switch always make app crash.

It's difficult to draw a cirle at the same position of a rectangle when the rectangle was selected, because the blue bounds will block the drawing operation, setting a key for hide the bounds temporary would be helpful.

I am trying to draw an icon in isolation mode, but it seems to exit isolation mode when selecting node, even select shape in isolated group will take me out of isolation mode, wondering what's the value of this mode.

double-click to set the guide line position value would be nice, and a global lock/unlock guides hotkey.

when I export psd and mark with pxcook, I found there're no any font information in psd file, hope can add this feature to ad :)

Pixel alignment is not perfect in Affinity Designer, in fact non pixel align situation is VERY EASY to happen. When shapes align to TEXT object or, a integer position&size shape with a little ROTATION, it's position no longer integer. I think AD should learn from Fireworks pixel alignment design, no matter cursor position, text/shape geometry, once user start to draw, all objects' bounds should be treated as integer in pixel alignment mode. Now we can turn off "snap to object bounding boxes" to make this happen, but it also make AD become useless, I think what we need is "snap to pixel-align bounding boxes",

Hi guys I've update video tutorial link: hope you enjoy ;)
