I am VERY HAPPY to pay $99 for the Version 2 Universal License.  I will also pay for future versions. I am a happy customer and use these applications extensibly every single day. Kudos to Affinity and their entire teams; keep up the excellent work, and keep chipping away at the bug lists and feature requests.

I too would really love this feature, it's one of a few that would allow me to work entirely in Affinity's apps.  Currently I just go into Illustrator and throw down a shape, do a pattern fill, and expand it.  Copy > paste it into Affinity, create a mask, and pop it into place.  It comes in as vector and everything (doing this on a Mac).  Some cleanup is necessary, and it's really not ideal but it works for simple uses.
 
Since there are several threads of this same topic going around, someone also linked to this:

I'm considering using this as an option and am giving the trial a shot, would be great to have something similar built into Affinity itself.

All good, thanks for letting me know!

Hi Mike, I think it'll be something for next time - sorry

Hey Matt, just wanted to ping you again and ask if this might show up in 1.7.X or should we expect it to be in a later version?  Thanks again, so far 1.7 has been a really solid release!

Designer keeps getting better and better, I'm almost completely able to move my work over from an aging copy of Illustrator CS6.  One item I would love to see incorporated is the option for dashed lines to allow for dashes to be aligned to corners and path ends.  I use this a lot when drawing dashed lines in technical drawings as I get a much cleaner result.  Is this something that might be added to Designer at some point in the future?  If not I'd love to formally put a request in for it :) Thanks!
