operating system and version : Windows 11 V24H2. Affinity Designer is current 2.6.3 Is hardware acceleration (in Preferences > Performance) ON (Invidia RTX 4070) What happened for you, Provide a recipe : Created a circle 1000mm in diameter, exported it as an svg. Imported it into Blender 4.4 and the measurements are 800mm now diameter. Did the same test with a square 2000mm in AD, exported svg, import into Blender 4.4, measures are now 1599.7mm? To verify that it is not an import issue with Blender I tested this with other 2d illustration software and had NO issues (the imported scaling was correct).

@Pšenda No, I am not looking for it. I am requesting upgrades to it.

Although the measure tool is a great function inside of designer it would be truly useful if we could have the option to have as many measure's on our document as we need. Also: Having them printable would be fantastic for those of us creating cad style docs with an auto display dimension check box on shapes created. Thanks, A long time avid user

Thanks @Paul Mudditt, It is a solution.

Hello, I created a selection in pixel mode and would like to simply copy that area and paste. The purpose is to copy all the different layers that are visible inside the selection and paste it onto its own layer. It’s basically like a snapshot. Is this not available in Designer on the ipad app? Shift+Cmd+C doesn’t work either Thanks

Dooley noted! (I will add that extra charge line to clients billing (document saving) ha. Thanks for replying Have a great week.

that is disappointing. Why shouldn’t I be sure that cmd+s worked with the keyboard ? It displays the message <document saved>when I use that keyboard shortcut. Have you had an issue with that before? 🤔

Hello, Is there a shortcut for saving whilst working on a document (WITHOUT the keyboard)? Relying on the autosave function isn’t the safest option and constantly having to exit the document to select save is extremely time consuming. Can I make a save icon appear like the visibility for the undo and trash icon? It maybe an oldschool habit to be constantly manually saving every two minutes but it is the safest and most reliable. Thanks for any tips, suggestions or the actual way to do it on an ipad directly on the screen without the keyboard.

I posted this question on the desktop forum BUT I also use (and prefer) my ipad pro ; Are there any users that know which icc colour profile is best when saving or printing an image on ART paper for a Pixma Pro-100 printer ? I am getting faded results with the default. There doesn’t seem to be any Canon drivers for Serif products? extra info ; I am using a cold press A3 250gms - 115lb paper. Fingers crossed,

Are any other Mac AD users printed on any thick art papers (eg. 250gms -115lb) using a pixma pro-100? I have been getting faded results using the default settings. (CMYK Colour profile U.S Web Coated (SWOP)v2 ) I hate to write this but there is an ICC Canon list when using PS (aahh it burns). Maybe there is there is another one in the selection menu that I could select to have best results other than the default one? Testing each one will clearly empty my ink cartridges so asking may safe me tons of time and costs. Fingers crossed,

It would be very practical if I could ‘set as default’ my custom (or any) brush set. When you have a long list of brush sets and are constantly switching between Designer and Pixel mode it can become a daunting task having to reselect a specific preferred set every-time. It would really speed things up and help know what brush is currently being used at the same time. Two birds one stone. thanks

No problem Dan. I tried to find a way to make it function. The only thing that seems to be working is using the selection tool and clicking on a white space (deselecting everything). Then holding down the save for 2+ seconds. Simply tap selecting it won’t work. (maybe I am to oldschool in my way about constantly hitting save, ha)

Selecting save in the drop down menu (see image attached) It’s very random in it’s function...most times it simply doesn’t do anything.

Hello group, anyone else have issue with simply saving a document while it is OPEN when selecting save in the drop down menu? It simply doesn’t which causes me to loss work when it crashes (which it seems to do more frequently since 1.7 update on my ipad) Previously I would deselect any layer, click the selection tool then (and only then would ) I be would able to actually save with the document currently open. The other option was exiting the doc then reopening it (slow..) . Maybe I am missing something that I should know about? Thanks

Hi, Something that I find slows down my production is having to reselect my custom brush set (or currently used) brush set every-time I switch from designer or pixel panel. Can it come back to the last brush set used please? Having the possibility to choose our own default set we would be practical too. Thanks.
