A suggestion. I always group my copies. When you've made dozens of copies, it's a pain to select them all to make a group.

I agree with Hangman, the preset by default "wet edges" is not a good option. Me too, I've spent a lot of time as Debraspicher about what's wrong with my selected brush.

Smart !

I will not open anymore my old Illustrator CS4 for doing this… THANKS !!!!

A little bemol about duplicate on path : If you modify the path, objects become crazy and cmd + Z can't restore initial state.

Incredible technique !!!! Thanks a lot. The most powerful hidden function.

This function is great but to it would be perfect with "Duplicate on path" and "Duplicate on surface". Actually, when I need to duplicate diamonds on a specific path, I use… Cinema 4D (3D software) because we can duplicate on paths. I've tried to create a brush with diamonds in Affinity but there is a distorsion : diamonds look like eggs !

In Illustrator, it can be also an FX ! Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform So, it's non destructive, you can change parameters all the time.

One of my wishes is granted !

---------- --- --- ------------ --- --- -------------- becomes true ! Before I used Apparence panel with 2 dot lines. A nightmare…

firstdefence : great tip but space between lines is not equal. I notice that many of us want a spiral tool…

No spiral tool. Why ? I still use my old Ai CS4 for that.

I use AD since alpha releases with dark UI. The new v2 UI is too dark. All is dark, we don't know what is active or not. So I use the light UI… I also don't like the grey circles about what is hidden or visible. If you really want circles : - green circle > visible - red circle > hidden In Cinema4D (3D software), it's like that.

Jamais de toute ma vie je n'ai vu un tel photo-réalisme avec un logiciel vectoriel ! Stupéfiant.

I totally agree with you. All is grey… A bit of color is welcome.

Great tip !

- I need a new computer. - Wait, new processors will be arrive - Ok, I'm waiting… Several months later - I really need a new computer - Wait again because next year, it will be better ! - Ok I'm waiting -------------------------------------- - We need to launch affinity 2.0 - Wait, I will add another new tool/function - Ok, we're waiting Several months later - We really need to launch affinity 2.0 - Wait because next year, there will be a bunch of new tools/functions - Ok, we're waiting --------------------------------------- Conclusion : I prefer to see Affinity 2.0 now with 2 or 3 new tools/functions rather waiting one year with 5 new tools/functions. Affinity 1 has been updated step by step. A lot of things have been done between AD 1.2 and AD 1.10. I know that consumers will say "I will buy 2.0 only if new features are significant" but you must reassure them telling that a lot of things will arrive next months.

- vectorizing pictures - vector patterns (actually pixel patterns) - duplicate along path I would like to see this function in a "container" Object Duplicate > numbers of copies or length between each copy / start / end - path - object - gradient between curves - deformers - noise for gradient (actually only one limited noise) - spiral tool - perspective grids with vanishing point - measurement tool - more fields when you do a dotted line (only 4 when sometimes you need 6). I have to use the Appearance panel. - 3D tool (extrusion) but the most important : - new cat objects

"The inclusion of support for DWG / DXF has come from that engagement and import / export is currently under test." https://aecmag.com/technology/serif-affinity-for-aec-firms/ Good point !

Any software is not a fully developed software. This is the reason why every software has updates ! I will be happy to pay for AD 2.0 with essential features : vector patterns, blending shapes, converting pixel image in vectors, grids with vanishing point, deformation (with box, lattice, etc), duplicating and editing objects along curves. Just one of these features will make me happy !

A bug here about this. Perfect result with Illustrator… bug pathfinder reunion.afdesign

You're right ! Thanks

Shape is not linear, we have step at every node. spline bug.afdesign

Each time I want to open a PDF, I've missing fonts. Aphoto is unable to pixelate the fonts, it replaces fonts by other ones. The only solution is to open PDF in Photoshop. Is there a solution without Photoshop ? I can open PDF files and make a copy screen but it's a poor solution.

I've a big problems with layers colors. It was perfect in 1.10.0.3 but yesterday it was a mess. I do not touch anything, I don't understand. In 1.10.0.5, same behavior. AD bug colors.afdesign
