Meristem

Hi guys,
 
Glad to find a thread about this matter, since I found it most bizarre that a vector software that promotes itself so vividly lacks such a basic tool. Not to mention any particular competitors, even the free ones, but even the simple vector apps have this tool. It's really surprising that there is no measurement no dimension tool. Very often I would just like to know what the distance is between some parts of the artwork.
I hope that the developers actually read this discussion and that this super important tool will arrive shortly.

I own and download every version of Affinity Designer hoping that arrowheads will have been added. The low priority given to this feature request -- and the fact that arrow shapes are thought to be a suitable workaround in "certain situations" demonstrates just how low a priority technical illustration is for AD.
 
The fact is, AD is essentially useless for technical illustration without arrowheads. A shame, really... With arrowheads and more robust scaling/dimensioning options could be such a marvelous program and nearly complete replacement for Illustrator.
 
We're not asking for Autocad here, folks. Cheap vector graphics programs 1/10th as capable and a fraction of the size of AD have arrowheads! Just give us the ability to place arrows on the ends of lines and curves, please. Seriously, how hard can this be?
