  1. To be fair, that page does not make it easy to find (among many other items) the list of supported formats. In fact, just now it took me a minute to realize it was in Professional Color, Compatibility, and Output section. It would be better if that page was searchable in browsers without having to open each section....
  2. @Iztok, note that in the video @Hangman provided, the status bar at the bottom of the window (at least in the Mac version) tells you that if you are hovering over a segment you can CTRL click to delete it.
  3. Well, I finally found this 3 finger drag setting in Accessibility, but for the life of me I do not see how it improves precision or stability when drawing in Affinity with the trackpad vs. the usual 1 finger drag. Both the 1 & 3 finger drags seem to work identically for me. I tried this, both with scrolling with & without inertia set in my Accessibility preferences, & while it sort of worked (flicking did not move the object very far) there was no difference between the 2 inertia settings, so maybe I was looking in the wrong place for that. But regardless, with my old & stiff fingers plus my RSI problems, it was an extremely awkward gesture to perform. I also tried the Drag Lock setting suggested earlier but I could not get it to work at all. Even with Tap to click enabled, I still had to press down to click to enable moving an object & I still had to do that each time I wanted to move the object -- IOW, nothing seemed to be 'locked' that I could see. There are almost certainly things that I just don't understand how to set properly or how they are supposed to work but to be honest I just got tired of trying to figure it all out & gave up. I still think that if one is looking for a good drawing accessory to use with Affinity the money would be better spent elsewhere, like on a pressure sensitive drawing tablet.
  4. Can you tell me where to find this setting? It does not seem to be available on my Mac running Catalina.
  5. My point is simply that if you do post anything in the feature forum about how you want symbols to work in Affinity, you cannot assume how many other Affinity users are familiar with how they work in Illustrator, nor will they necessarily be interested in downloading a trial (particularly from Adobe!) to understand what you mean. IOW, if you want support for your request, it is in your best interests to make it as easy & frictionless as possible for others to understand how you want them to work in Affinity.
  6. In what app do you see this menu item? I do not seem to find any "Move & Resize" item in the Affinity Window menu.
  7. Why? Do you understand how they work & their purpose? How else would you want them to work? If you are going to make a request like that, you really should make it as clear as possible what you want to use them for & how they would work in comparison to now. Otherwise, it is unlikely that anyone would even understand what you are requesting.
  8. Then if you mention them in a feature request maybe refer to them as "map symbols," or even "GIS Map Symbols." And it is always useful for clarity's sake to include examples of the kind of objects you mean. I have no idea what kind of feedback you want to offer about Symbols or how they work but please consider searching that forum for anything similar to whatever that is before starting a new topic there. As it is, there many new requests that are basically just repeating something already mentioned, making it difficult to see how much support they actually have among the user base.
  9. Yes, & if is it not clear why I am suggesting that you just pick one for your request, it is because when two or more are suggested in the same request the discussion sometimes devolves into a dispute about which one has the most merit. But of course it is up to you if you want to promote both of them. EDIT: One other thing I keep forgetting to mention. Keep in mind that in Affinity both "Image" & "Symbol" have special meanings, so in you request(s) it is a good idea to try to be as specific as possible about what you mean if you use those terms.
  10. For the first of the two options I mentioned I meant an option to remove only empty layers on opening. Sorry if that was not clear. I do not know what you mean by that. Anyway, I was suggesting you pick one of the two optioned I mentioned for your feature request.
  11. The remove on opening option or a way to select all empty layers afterwards? It probably would help if you picked one....
  12. Conversely, does Illustrator have a toggle not to remove empty layers? (I do not use it so I don't know.) Anyway, if you want that option in AD, you could post that in the feature request forum, and/or an option to select all empty layers added to it.....
  13. Personally, my main problem with that Apple mouse is I find it much to easy to accidentally, while touching the surface to let my finger move slightly when all I want to do is click, causing movement on the screen. So to avoid that I have to keep my fingers off the surface completely when I am not trying to click, & to be very careful not to move my finger when I do want to click. If there was some setting to make it less sensitive to surface movement, it would not be so bad but for me it causes so much fatigue & cramping that I can't use it for long. It is possible this has something to with the RSI issues I already have so it might not be an issue for others. I normally use a trackball, not a mouse but when I do I use a Logitech 3 button one that has a physical scroll wheel, which avoids the problem.
  14. It is just a guess but it is possible Illustrator removes the empty layers when it opens the file, while AD does not, the assumption in AD being that those empty layers might have some undefined purpose worth preserving.
  15. Even if there was, how would the app know where to position the text, what font/weight/style to use, & if it should be grouped with the layer or not?
  16. FWIW, when I tried to load the PDF from the OP into Designer on my Mac, I got a 'Loading...' message that never completed even after waiting 5-6 minutes for it to complete. I had to force quit AD to recover. When I opening the file in Preview, it loaded fairly quickly but it was a mess -- dozens of tiny items scattered all over the document. some on top of others. I am not sure why I could not get it to open in AD.
  17. I share your opinion of any/all mouse made by Apple ... but I'm not even sure the MT2 is that much better -- some of its touted gestures don't seem easy to use or limited to just a few apps.
  18. Personally, while I have one, I rarely use it, & it doesn't seem to offer anything better than a mouse for selections & so on. Others may find it worth the price but for me it is not worth it, at least for use in Affinity.
  19. Probably obvious by now but note that these settings only apply to the field values displayed in the UI, not the actual values. So if you explicitly enter say 0.09 mm for a stroke width & the dp for mm is set to 1, it will be displayed as 0.1 even though it is actually 0.09.
  20. @meridian360, (other than the query about the 250 object limit) you should be posting things like this to the Feedback & Suggestions forum, not here in Questions.

  22. Be that as it may, I was asking what the default for Hide Studio is in Windows. So I am asking if it is just CTRL+H or CTRL +Shift + H.
  23. I would probably go with one document/artboard & maybe use one capital L Layer for each floor. For electrical (or plumbing & such) I would probably use one group for each floor, each in that floor's Layer.
  24. To save a little time for those wondering about how to do this in Affinity Designer the short answer is you can't. The Fields panel is available only in Affinity Publisher, so if you do not own that app you are out of luck.
  25. So, what is the default for Windows? BTW, I should have checked all 6 of my Affinity apps (V1 & V2 for each) because they all have the same shortcut.
