    Virtualzak reacted to voitek in Spiral Shape Tool for Designer   
    A spiral shape tool would be vert useful for Designer. Now we have to do some weird workarounds.
    It would be nice if it had an editable number of arms

    I mean this kind of spiral

    Virtualzak reacted to smdimagerie in Lock guides, Masks, "Isolation mode"   
    I'm a graphic designer / web developper. I use Affinity Designer as my 50% software for design, the other 50% is photoshop.
     
    There is one reason that affinity is not my 95% and it is the guides management. As a web designer, all my design must follow some kind of grid, in which I move elements. Once my grid is built I dont have to move around guides, i just have to move elements. As much as I love affinity, the fact that when I take a border too close to a guide move the guide (an therefore destroy my grid) is pretty annoying.
     
    Another feature that would need to be improved is that when you put an element inside another (the only way I found to make somekind of clipping mask) If I strech the parent objects every child element is streched which is not what I want. I understand the logic but having somekind of clipping mask would be useful).
     
    Last thing, and I'm not fan of it but a friend of mine pointed it out, is the lack of some form of isolation mode. Isolation mode in illustrator could be defined as: "lock every element but this one and lock child items in sub group so they act as single items." He said its the feature that failed him (as for myself is the thing I hate in illustrator so take it with a grain of salt)

    Virtualzak reacted to folio94 in lock guides   
    Good afternoon from Paris (France)
     
    Since I use Affinity Designer I am regularly confronted to problem with guides.
    Often when I move an object or when I resize it, I often capture the closest guide.
     
    In the new release of Inkscape, they have added a new feature where you can lock the guide so that you can't then modify them by mistake.
     
    May I suggest news evolutions about guides ?
     
    The possibility to lock them On mouse over the possibility od displaying a tooltip with the value and then inside the UI we should find a lock pictogram to active it and retrieve this feature inside the guide's pop-up aswell as a checkbox like "Lock guides". The ability to export guides as a layer. What do you think about that ?
     
    Warm regards.

    Virtualzak reacted to martynh in Android Assets for Affinity Designer   
    I've had a look and couldn't find this anywhere, so apologies if this is a duplicate post but I notice that you have default iOS assets in Affinity Designer, but I couldn't find any Android ones.  I've looked high and low and can't find anything similar on the web (can anyone point me to any?) so it'd be really good to have these in there.  I'm sure I can't be the only person trying to design for Android and facing the situation of having to do everything from scratch!
     
    Thank you!

    Virtualzak reacted to Dams in Full UIKit Asset   
    Hi,
     
    Some iOS 10 assets are provided by Affinity Designer but they are incomplete, using an outdated Font (SF UI Text instead of SF Pro) and not providing upcoming OSes like iOS 11. Right now, Apple provides all the latest designs here:
    https://developer.apple.com/design/resources/
     
    However, they are providing it for Sketch, Adobe PS or Adobe XD. While Affinity Designer is able to open the PSD files (with some warnings), it is useless for any UI work as it's loading pixel layers instead of vector layers. So in order to compete with existing UI design tools, Affinity Designer should either be able to import PSD documents provided by Apple correctly or provide it's own full and up-to-date UIKit assets.
     
    This is limiting the use of Affinity Designer a lot for mobile designers as recreating all standard widgets is time consuming and making the price of Affinity Designer non competitive (a few hours to create the missing UI elements * hourly rates = a lot more than buying Sketch). I bet that Android designers would want full material assets too.
     
    Please consider making Affinity Designer more competitive for the UI Design market.
     
    Cheers
     
    PS: another alternative would be to request Apple to add the affinity designer file format to the list provided. Good luck with that. But you won some ADA, so may be they would listen
