I recieve some designs, in dxf format, be intrested to know how others prepare thier DXF files for import into Affinity Designer. It would be nice if Affinity Designer was able to read in a DXF file export from Autocad or other applications that produce them. Also if a DWG file could be imported, though I understand that there maybe licensing issues for DWG.

My Appologies

I recieve some designs, in dxf format, be intrested to know how others prepare thier DXF files for import into Affinity Designer. It would be nice if Affinity Designer was able to read in a DXF file export from Autocad or other applications that produce them.

Also if a DWG file could be imported, though I understand that there maybe licensing issues for DWG.

Sky replacement in Affinity is straight forward, and covered above, but just seen the Sky replacement option in the new version 22 of photoshop, which I have to say is impressive, would be a good productivity tool in affinity.

I get sent just DXF and DWG files, it would be great if I could just open them with Affinity Designer instead of having to use a DWG or DXF converter.

I am using version 1.6.5.123 on windows 10.My hardware is a AMD Ryzen 5 with 32 GB ram and a NAVIDA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB graphics card. I have been trying to use the selection free hand tool, I have tried Freehand, Polygon and magnetic lasso, I have set it to new, add but the problem is the same. That is everything works as expected until I try to close the selection. I have selected the end point of the selection to close and I have tried to double click. Each time the selection disappears, I e

There is a need to be able to manipulate the text in photo as you can in designer, this is quite a basic feature (I don't mean easy to do.) In this area Affinity Photo lags way behind Photoshop, so please add it.

I would Like a lightroom replacement, have been playing with rawtherapee and I have found it to be very good, but it just does not feel right for me, as I do like the work flow of lightroom.

Thanks for the response, now you have explained it its obvious, I can't believe I did not get my head around that one.:-)

Hi Callum, Thanks for your response. It is the Geometry command under the ... command option, that I have not found anything for you have to have the Affinity Photo Icon selected. I hope that helps to clarify my inquiry.

Just one other point Chris B I have over half my iPad memory available, no apps running in background.

Hi Chris B Just re run the process using a Jpg file and the problem did not occur, so maybe it an issue with the Olympus ORF file? Which a sample I have uploaded.
