Use a different program since AD seems to be disinterested in getting some basic features released in a timely manner. ... it. has. been. YEARS. https://www.magix.com/us/photo-graphic/xara-designer-pro/

YEARS and no standard tools in AD. I had to switch to ... https://www.magix.com/us/photo-graphic/xara-designer-pro/ ... for a full set of features.

After 3 years of waiting for AD to include all the features that they removed from Serif and dealing with snapping, performance, endless workarounds and other routine feature issues...I am officially leaving AD and moving to Xara Designer Pro X. I had such high hopes for this software, but it seems that I just can't wait what seems like will be another 5-10 YEARS for real fixes and features to be incorporated. It was a good try, and I think the Affinity team is superb. All the best.

Win 10, aff ... 1.7.3.481

When shape is converted to curve and skewed, corners DO NOT SNAP, but regular shape does. This is a MAJOR ERROR. aff_snapERROR.mp4 aff_snapERROR.mp4 aff_snapERROR.mp4

https://www.xara.com/us/photo-graphic-designer/ Xara contains all my vector work arounds. I guess Xara wants the $$$. The vector warp, distort, mesh is a basic must have.

It's been a few YEARS and these tools are not available. Please use Xara for these tools.

I guess we just have to start promoting other products on the forum ... https://www.xara.com/us/photo-graphic-designer/

Updating Affinity products has 100% failure rate - ALWAYS FAILS.

When is the next update...? You should post if you are NOT going to update anymore so I can move to another program. Is Affinity still in business? For those looking for a work around ... I am using Xara for distortion, blends, etc... basically all the tools that DrawPlus had.

Cant use AD without envelope / mesh as well.

!!! - When setting a CMYK swatch - I update the swatch color but the label does not change, meaning I am looking at the wrong color numbers when making sure all my colors match and are ready for printing. Not good. Too time consuming to tweak the color and manually insert the color code every time. - and please, please turn off auto switching color to tint, it's EXTREMELY time consuming to reset the box every time I hit a global color.

Please disable auto switch to tint. If I am checking several colors in a design and hit a global color, then I manually have to reset the color panel to CMYK....which is extremely time consuming. Let the user choose the color box they want to use and leave it. Working with lots of colors with the auto tint almost makes global colors unusable, especially if you need to tweak those colors quickly. OR - please make the function like Serif Draw where the color tab remembers the setting for non global colors.

Here is why I think it may be AD ... when I choose PDF (for Export) I can export the large file (around 36mb)...but when I choose PDF (for web) from the drop down, the calculating size never finishes and then my OS completely locks up.
