PatternMaker

Hi Because once printed it has to be dimensionally accurate. Try printing a 25mm, 50mm, 100mm and 200mm box, and keep going until you have used 2 pages, then measure it. Plus I only have an A4 Printer. L8rs

Hi guys Think you need to reread the original post. I am not talking about pattern making in the traditional sense, e.g. tileable textures. I am requesting that a shape which is bigger than an artboard, showing on all artboards no matter which artboard it is drawn on. Thanks

Hi I have just purchased the Affinity Designer to make digital clothing patterns and so far I am pleasantly surprised at how good it is, however, I do have a couple of requests. Let me first describe the workflow I am using. I am using A4 art boards. I use snapping to place them side by side, top to bottom and use as many as I need to fully encompass my design pieces. Now for each shape that overlaps onto another art board, I am having to copy and paste, without moving it, then go to the layer palette, and move the copied shape to the relevant art board. Thus enabling me to export as a .pdf and because every page is an art board I get multiple pages, the A4 pages are then taped together, giving me a full pattern to work from. My request would be some way to have a shape be on multiple art boards at the same time, so I could omit the copy and pasting step as described above. Another request would be to improve the printing functionality, so I need not export as .pdf, but do it internally. Oh BTW, if anyone can suggest a different workflow, I'd love to hear it. Thank for listening, keep up the good work :).

Hi guys I to am looking into this. Would be great for me as I want to use Designer to make digital clothing patterns, I want to be able to export to .pdf and have all the pages separated. I also want to place markers on each page so I can line them up afterwards. Could we possibly get a developer to respond? I can guarantee you will get sales if we can use this for pattern making. Thank You.
