I agree to this. It would make so much more sense in a vector program like AD. What I have in mind that the symmetry is not locked on a specific tool but to the canvas where you can turn it on and off on demand. Similar to how Procreate handels it.

Hej @grapher I couldn't reproduce this error/behavior. Mind to elaborate how/when this is occuring? Greetings, Jay

Hi Sarah I just tried it with the mouse and it seems to work as previously/intended. Can't test it with my Cintiq right now, will test it when I'm at home.

Hi Vitaly, Thanks for sharing your work with us. It's a pleasure to view and it has a lot of improvments I want for Affinity Designer. (like the better highlighting of selected tools, etc..) From an aesthetical point of view it's fantastic and very pleasing to the eye. Although if you consider accessiblity and readability it's a tough one. The contrast is way too low and if people have a little eyesight issues, it's not viable, in my opinion. (I know, us UI/UX-designers have a hard time finding the balance between aesthetics and accessibility as it often compete with each other .) But as I said: Great work Vitaly! And I love your icon set, they are super crisp and look great! Hope to see more of your work.

Is there a schedule for fixing this bug? It's been almost 2 years since it's been reported and the bug is still there.

Thank you MEB and A_B_C. much appreciated! The 'middle alignment' argument makes totally sense. Now I tried to apply this to the button in my example and the horizontal lines are indeed crisp as they should be. but unfortunately the vertical ones are now blurry. Any clues why (the dimensions and positions are on full pixels)? Edit: Here is another example. This time it's again the horizontal line (bottom border) that is blurry. (and to a certain degree the right vertical one as well)

Hello MEB Thanks for the answer. So you're saying that I have to actually move objects to half pixels instead using the app provided 'force pixel alignment/move by whole pixels' option? (which I have on (as you can see on the screenshot). That doesn't make much sense to me, to be honest. Then - if not for proper alignment - what is 'force pixel alignment/move by whole pixels' for?

Hi firstdefence Thanks a lot for your help. Unfortunately the Pixel-Persona is not really an option, as I heavily rely on the flexibility and scalability of vectors. Besides that: drawing something like a rounded rectangle with the pixel tools is not as easy to get (without much effort).

I have something that bothers me big time and makes AD almost unusable for me. I draw a lot of UI designs and often times I need borders that are 1 pixel wide. The problem is, AD doesn't always display them properly. Sometimes they are 1 pixel wide, often times they are not. Not in the vector view, nor when in pixel-preview/exported. Is there something I'm missing? Like a setting I missed? Or is the antialiasing just way off? See screenshots below: Pixel-Preview. You can clearly see that the selected pink line is "blurred" to 2 pixels width, while the smaller one on top is one pixel wide (how it should be). And here a 100% zoom of the vector view: (you can also see the "effect" on the button. vertical lines are 1 px, horizontal lines are 2 px.) Thanks for your help, Jay

I'm also interested in the patch/release notes for 1.6.4. For my everyday work it's mandatory that I know what tools/features have changed/added, etc.. In my opinion (and it seems like I'm not the only one) this is something that should be very visible as soon as the update hits. especially what new features were added. I'd love to see a simple splash screen with 'what's new' on starting up the new version the first time with the most important changes and a link to the whole change log, without me having to search through a whole forum, just to not find any information. just my two cents...

Well, but that is about 1.6.0. OP wanted the change logs for 1.6.1. And so do I. I really think Affinity should have at least a sticky on this forum with the latest patch notes. It's pretty much a standard nowadays and helps the user a lot.

I made that suggestion a while ago myself (and before me there where others too, I was told). For now, they have not the intention to separate these. One (sort of) solution could be that we use prefixes in the thread title, like [AD] My new fancy business cards [AP] My first photo manipulation [AD/AP] My first CD booklet artwork With that at least I don't have to open the threads if I'm not interested in one of the programs works.

Dope! Especially love the color scheme.

Great addition MEB. *thumbsup* Learned something new today. Thanks for making the clip.

@;MEB: Maybe I'm wrong on this (on both ends) but I think he meant to move two nodes on two different shapes that are on the same spot (i.e.: the far left node of the dark brown and the light peachy one) and if I'm not completely off: that doesn't work with your posted solution or does it?

Nice lxls2prnt! Glad you liked it here. :) Sounds like you've seen quiet a few places here. If you come over the pond again you can drop me a note. :)

I suppose it's like a "fan art" for the space-x program of Elon Musk. It's program wants to colonize mars in about 10-15 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX

@pxls2prnt: :D Well, sometimes even in Switzerland it's hell. ;P Naaw, I love this place too. I just like the pun. :) Are you swiss too?

Oh I was thinking the same but thought, well maybe my english isn't good enough and that's totally fine. Better not blunder. :D

The fonts are not parallel to each other. There might be some room to improve. (see image below) You could also adjust the kerning between the letters 'E' and 'S' on 'RIDES. The 'S' stands a bit off. Other than that: Looking fancy! Good job!

Very generous of you, George. Thanks!

Yesterday I got a little surprise in my mailbox. A freshly printed Bahoochie! with some lovely prints (so glad I got the chieftan :D). Thanks George, can't wait to try it out this weekend. :)

Nevermind: I just saw the comment beneath the video. The answer lies in here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/25749-mas-15/

I just recently discovered the promo video for AD 1.5 and saw this (at minute 1:08) https://youtu.be/ybPzM1NO9lc?t=68 How do you do that? I know about the embedded files and that you can live edit them but this a whole new level as it is in a 3-dimensional setup. Any hints for me? :) Thanks in advance, Jay

As far as I know there is no such mechanic implemented in Affinity Designer. AD doesn't track the original sizes of objects. The only thing it does is that it have a complete history including the whole document (see History panel).
