Looking and the given examples, I made this one version. I don't know if it's more professional or well made but I believe that people love round figures. By the way, the Adobe icons are the ones that look so out of place, if you ask me, next to the System Preferences. Best regards!

Hi. Here Matt told that they are doing it. Best regards!

When you see it in good use you can understand why it is so popular. Best regards!

Heil Cthulhu?

I'll tell you when it's finally released. ^^U Best regards!

What's the Color Profile of the Document? Best regards!

For some cases, like when you have several overlaping figures, that Tool saves you a lot of time, for example: Best regards!

Using two circles: Draw them Snap them Convert them to curves Create a node in the strategic points Break and delete. And there you have it Best regards!

I think they want to solve some problems currently present within the Boolean operations before building something like a Shape Builder Tool. Best regards!

Some news: For anyone who wants to give it a try. Best regards.

Fortunately, it's part of the Team's Roadmap for the 1.X cycle. Best regards!

As far as I know, it depends on the ICC Profile. Go to Document > Convert ICC and then select Adobe RGB and se if that makes the trick. Best regards!

Hi there! Here is a Topic where this is discussed (Spoiler Alert, Affinity won't be able to do so). Best regards!

Oh, I see, you are talking overall claims that you find they don't become a reality when you work with that. Well, when that happends I know what how that experience is, I simply wonder, when you see that failure, if on some other city or country there is comeone who thinks otherwise. Anyway, I agree with you on some other points: The Affinity suite has so much potential, and I've made my bet on it (I admit that Graphic Design is not my main focus, but it's also a think I do on my work, so you could say I'm not a high end user). Marketing at times becomes a double edged sword. Being a "professional" is a concept that covers a broad range of situations, so yeah, Affinity still can't cover all scenarios and use cases, but then again, I hope they cover more in the future. Best regards!

Illustrator users REVELED when that simple feature arrived just in march 2017. Just in time for the 30th anniversary. I've never had the opportunity to use Freehand, but I've read a lot about how Illustrator doesn't seem to be engineered for the Graphic Designer in many areas. So, yeah, big companies algo are late comers to some basic features. I agree with you, Illustrator is not the way to go (I've used it and I loathe many things about it, while other ones are very good). Talking about this feature some folks are requesting, I hope it arrives some time in the future. Best regards!

Well, here I go again. DISCLAIMER. I don't pretend to defend nor attack anyone, just to point out some things for the better. Working as a BI/EPM Consultant, I know that as well: customers (Vice Presidents, Directors and Managers) yell at you, curse your entire family and tell you the way you are going to die. I know all of that but I ignore it: Their behavior is unprofessional too. That's a way to intimidate and control but I don't fall for that. I come back at a later meeting with the solution (the valid point they did have) and that's it but (go to the next paragraph)... The difference I see here is that I am in the same as you: I am a customer, and everyone else here is. You normally have one project per client at a time, but here we have professionals around the globe with different needs. We now can argue about this feature and how it works for many many designers, but even that won't represent the 100%. Now, Ben said they are going to try and add it. I support the idea of adding it. That's it. As I told you before: there are better ways to communicate your needs (Ben still doesn't get why this feature is so relevant, I guess), so, don't be like your customers and users. You've made valid points and I understood them, but hey, when I don't make myself clear I try another way to explain. Also, consider how long it took for big companies to implement simple features (like Cropping, in Illustrator). Either way of meeting with the clients has advantages and disadvantages. Let's try to make the best out of it. Correct me if I'm wrong but you are refering to this: - "Affinity Designer is the fastest, smoothest, most precise vector graphic design software available". If that's the case: I agree with you, this feature will add and contribute in that department. The example you brought about Adobe was neither from a small company and it took two years for them to restore previous functionality, so I guess this happens even with the big fish. What everyone has been talking about was this. Right? Right? Again, this is for both sides, Serif and us. Looking forward to see this feature in Designer. Best regards!

Oh, I use it on Windows. That might be the reason why I see it. Best regards!

Affinity Products can export to those formats (I just don't know how well, comapred with other programs). Best regards!

I'd like to repeat myself, so here it goes: I really appreciate Serif's effort and I engourage you to keep up the good work. I truly believe the Team does their best. I count myself among the people that ask for this feature and I do so believing that it will benefit both sides: users and Serif. There are other (and better) ways to communicate your needs. For now, I wish everyone a fantastic Weekend. Thanks, @Ben for replaying and considering this feature. Best regards! Bonus Track: Prototyping capabilities and the little requests I've made.

I'm afraid I'm out of ideas that don't involve reworking. I'll see if I can think about an alternative. Best regards!

The only idea that comes to my mind is: Draw the figure you want Then, duplicate it The figure at the bottom will have the fill and the other one will have the outline Finally break the curves according to your needs This way you will have the fill with the shape you want. Best regards!

I truly believe that they do their best, both in building the App and planning the Value they want for Designer to offer (just imagine how hard is to do adjustments; we don't know all the internal work and organizarion Serif has). I know what it feels to lack something that is almost as a second nature to you, but I also believe there are other (and better) ways to communicate your needs. Wish everyone the best. Best regards!

After thinking about this, now I count myself among the people that ask for this feature and I do so believing that it will benefit both sides: users and Serif. Best regards!

I understand what you say, Mark. And I really appreciate your effort and I engourage you to keep the good work. Now, about this feature, the talk we had with Ben left me thinking about some things: It's something that covers several use cases and it's used by a lot of people (I've read on the Internetz). It's not just that it's used, it's an important part of technical drawing and design workflows; even to the point that that single feature will prevent someone from adopting Designer. Maybe Ben or some of us don't use nor understand the full impact this has, but I can tell you that I remember scenarios where I would have loved to count with this. So, I encourage the Team to consider this little thing and what it represents. After that, I hope you integrate this in your internal roadmap and see it in a future release. Best regards! P. S.: I ignore if Photoshop has this, but I also hope seeing this one in Photo.

I believe that Will_b refers to Gradients that follow a path. Best regards!
