Hi Everyone, Thanks to all the team for the so waited Beta version à Affinity Publisher ! As I am training on it I build some practical pages. I wanted to include a logo in the text anchored as a type, as I used to do in In Design and PAge Plus too. But it seems the option is disabled. How can I manage to link my logo in the text ? Forgive me if this question has already been put in this forum ! Regards Bernard

Thanks Alfred, I wanted to know if I miss some hiden command to improve that :( I clearly understand Afinity is still in its childhood but shows already many smart skills to be a serious working tool -_- Regards Berny

Hi fellow beta tester, One of the operation I prequently use is transform width of a stroke in outline curve. Unlike Draw Plus X8 is works, bul the shape generated include so many point it worries me, for I prefer few nodes curves. But while DPX8 allows us to clear the curves and so reduce the amount of nodes Afinity Designer seam not. I am right ? Regards

Hi fellow advanced members, thanks for your answers. First I downloaded and installed today la last version : 1.5..14. Some stuffs difers like the active tool clearly visible ! And for me living in France, the multi lingual version including mine. I settled AD in french but maybe it would be smarter to let it in english so I can share with you more conveniently. Alfred, I think you didn't understand me, I meant I began 3 years ago with Draw Plus X5 and since purchased and practised the 6 then 8 versions. Bleduc I agree with you for changing stock width, it didn't work on one curve on the previous version, but now it's ok. Thanks Doninic, I have to settle many usefull details in the preferences tab. Another great missing feature I have forgotten to quote : Tracing curbes from an imported image as in Draw Plus (the smartest tool in my opinion) and Illustrator (not very convenient). By the way Bleduc I had a quick look on Inkscape but it seems very professionnal. Il it possible to vectorise a picture in it ? Thanks to all of you. Bernard

Hi fellow testers, First of all thanks to Serif to allow me to test the beta version of Afinity D. I tried today the 1.5.0.9 release. I have to specify I'm a 20 years user of A. Illustrator on both Mac and Win, and a 3 years user of Draw+ since the 5 version. So many tools and commands miss me as far as I could try to found them using menus and tool bars ! My first questions: Why it is not possible to settle the stroke width after it has been drawn as we do in DP ? Why cannot we select shapes with the black arrow select tool, only by including it partly in a rectangle ? Most of all the missing function is to align node points on x or y or both ( as in A Illustrator ) , because this function is one I use the most in Illustrator? Why is the active tool not crealy visible on the tool bar by changing it aspect, but only in writing its name on the context tool bar ? Why no 3d extrusion as in Illustrator or in Draw Plus ? Why not include this very smart device ( of Draw +) of moving the shapes in depth on the vector shapes stack ? Where is the so clever dynamic pathfinder addition or substraction function (seen in the demo vdo), those I tried are not dynamic ! Please answer me, for I not find clearly the superiority of Afinity D versus the other programs Beside that I admire the smartness of the corner tool, and the progressive historical steps.
