According to Serif Affinity Designer is the replacement for DrawPlus which has been discontinued.
I have been a long time user of DrawPlus, since DPx4, (and the whole Serif "Plus" family of products) and have hundreds of files in .dpp and .dpa format.
Can Affinity open those files? Not that I see.
It certainly would be great if Affinity was backwards compatible with DrawPlus files since it is the "replacement" for DrawPlus.
I use DrawPlus to create and export drawings into SWF files for importing into animation software.
Does Affinity export in SWF format? Not that I see.
DrawPlus is/was a great/cheaper alternative to Adobe Flash for creating SWF files.
Granted, SWF is an older format but is still widely used.
I also use the DrawPlus keyframe animation feature to create animated SWF files.
Does Affinity have a keyframe feature? Not that I see.
I'm sure that Affinity is a great drawing package, especially since it is a big hit on MAC's, but currently is useless to me.
My only hope is that the next version of my animation software, coming out the end of this year, offers other import formats than SWF.
That or Affinity adds backwards compatibility with DrawPlus files, SWF output, and keyframing.
In the mean time I will continue to use DPx8 for my drawing needs.
