Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.7.0.3)
lenogre replied to MattP's topic in [ARCHIVE] Designer beta on macOS threads
OK, I thought it was for mirroring objects… Moving objects is very easy now with these new handles but nothing changes since the first alpha release about symmetry. I use symmetry all the time and it's a big pebble in my shoe… You added a icon for rotation center, do the same for symmetry please. 2 options : - Click on the symmetry icon and press enter or one click on the screen : same behavior as usual - A click and drag defines the axis of symmetry Or click on the icon with ALT = option for axis of symmetry Here's a video : symmetry with MOI3D. So simple and powerful. symmetry MOI 3d.mov -

Good new functions and tools but : The symmetry widget is not working as I've expected… -

HUGE file sizes
lenogre replied to Barry_Edmiston's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on macOS threads
I've done the same document with InDesign and Publisher. I've tried several options for images in Publisher. Publisher file is x5 bigger than InDesign file. -
BLEED BLEED BLEED AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!
lenogre replied to Dazmondo77's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on macOS threads
Can the Affinity team add a tuto about bleed and marks. I've seen Print > Bleed and marks but after that I don't know how generate a pdf file with bleed and marks. I must select PDF > "Save as PDF", choose a new printer ? I'm lost. In Windows, they have "microsoft print to pdf" but with mac ? -
Nouveau document - nombre de pages
lenogre replied to CASANOVA's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on macOS threads
I've seen this in first when creating my first doc with APublisher. Incredible this option doesn't exist. Every other serious software has this. When exporting in pdf, no option "Show pdf after export". Very frustrating. -

offset tool/capability in Designer
lenogre replied to lettergothic's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer V1 on Desktop
For me, the best workflow today for this is using Illustrator. Unfortunately. -
Sometimes, I have the message in red "magnétisme interrompu" in french (magnetism disrupted in english ?). Why ? Too many objects ?

Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.6.1 - Beta 1)
lenogre replied to MattP's topic in [ARCHIVE] Designer beta on macOS threads
befehr : brushes for accurate things are not good. With AI, I was using diamant as a brush but in AD, they are oval when you scale the path, distribution is not optimized, a real nightmare. So, for this work, I do it with Cinema4D and Mograph Cloner … The arrow tool in AD needs more attention. It's so easy with AI, a rare thing which is still better ! -
16bit linear color space problem
lenogre replied to Olyandros's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on Windows threads
Same here with Cinema4D, Linear profile and 16bits pictures. Nothing new… -
Great !!!!!!!!

Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.6 - RC1)
lenogre replied to MattP's topic in [ARCHIVE] Designer beta on macOS threads
Just to say that I would congratulate the team for his software. All is not perfect (you know, I can be very impatient and critical) but I'll never return with Adobe Illustrator. Every day I discover little things who are very clever. Thanks -

Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.6 - RC1)

Number of selected objects has been removed ? It's very useful when you have a surface with a lot of diamonds. The customer asks "How many diamonds on this dial ?". In AD 1.5, I select all diamonds and just read how many diamonds have been selected. In AD 1.6, wait few minutes, I must count one by one… Very bad workflow. -
http://www.syniumsoftware.com/logoist It seems to be a very good software with same philosophy of Affinity. I'm going to get a try. Combine both would be great ! Unfortunately, only mac os 10.12 and 10.13

Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.6 - Beta 10)
lenogre replied to MattP's topic in [ARCHIVE] Designer beta on macOS threads
About Corner, can you add an option when we scale objects ? If I have a shape with a corner value = 3 for example, I scale my shape x2, the logic would be a corner value = 3x2 but it's always the same corner value regardless the size… We must bake corners but it's a poor solution. -
Rui Mac : They have never heard Nitroman ! (c4d user joke…) Well, "Change rulers origin point" is also on my wishlist. Another subject of disappointment : I was thinking that brushes could be a good tool for duplication but it doesn't work as expected. I've done many brushes for duplicating diamonds but I give up (I did like this when I was working with Illustrator) . After duplication with a textured brush on a circle or an oval, round diamonds have an egg shape and if I want to change the size of the circle, the brush bugs. Now, all that work is done with cinema 4d. It takes 2 min with the mograph tool. I can change space between diamonds, size of diamonds and I don't need to count them. I duplicate disks with diamond texture and I calculate in orthographic view a PNG image with transparent background. Well, for what I do, after 3 years, AD is not good enough. I could do all my work with AD but I would spend a lot of time. AD is really the best in specific areas and the dunce in few ones.

rui_mac : They can see a lot of tutorials at cineversity.com (some are free) or at greyscalegorilla.com A mograph tool could be THE tool.

Development is a question of priorities. Constraints is an incredible and powerful function but I NEVER made a chart. But I think everybody makes symmetries. It's not sexy as constraints but we really need it. "Hi guys, we got a mirror function, look at it !" LOL (Illustrator fan…) "Hi guys, we got a constraints function, look at it !" Waouhhh (I must confess, I said Waouhhh and Illustrator fan too) but no decent mirror tool. In my opinion, Affinity softwares are not expensive enough. I can pay more to get more. Maybe, they can do surveys. Vote for the tool/function you want to see. Several proposals. You vote but they keep results secrets.

I'm using AD since summer 2014 and I think updates are very slow. 3 years, I can't believe it ! I was thinking 2 years but no, it's 3 years. Between first beta and now, the significant updates for me are symbols, text on path, corner tool and pivot point. I must explain my job : I'm working for horology and I'm drawing dials, cases, hands, straps, all we need for a watch. I already love AD because it was so easy to change colors. A very big time saving compared to Illustrator. And no more crashes with heavy files. But it was not easy to draw. New versions works pretty well and I use symbols a lot (draw an index, duplicate 12 times and after very easy to modify). Pivot point for rotation was a liberation. I always do rotations, it's the base in horology ! We now can do the same with scale. But today, no decent mirror tool. I'm fed up of this ridiculous and stupid mirror tool. I must use a bounding box to get what I want. Two clicks for defining axis and let's go ! We can't change point 0 on art board. No blend shape tool. I use it a lot for guilloché. No deformation tool. No offset tool. No tool for simplifying paths. We often have too many points we expand strokes. No spiral tool No arc tool No measurement tool No vectorize tool I'm also doing 3D with cinema4d a lot of tools / functions would be great for AD. Have you ever seen how powerful is mograph in c4d ? Basically, it's a duplication tool but you can add a lot of modifiers (random is the most evident). It could be awesome to get the same. Idem with particles and modifiers. Moving rotated objects in world or object coordinates can also be useful. Initially, AD was only for mac OS. But the market is at the overside of the street… I don't want to blame you but development seems slow down. No news about the InDesign killer. Xpress is coming back with nice features but costs 830 €… Put the pedal to the metal, guys, I will follow !
