  1. Hello, to all. Trying to use AD 1.9 to build a font then import to Typetool 3.1 all I get with an eps file is a gray rasterized image of the glyph in the glyph window. I followed the advice of the exporting of the artwork as stated above. It fails for for me. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong? (was using Ai which lets you just copy and paste into Typetool)
  2. I'm trying to select each handle in the gradient tool and color each one then drag in the rectangle to fill with 2 color gradient. Is that even possible in AD? I saw a tutorial vid at the site that indicated you can, but I have not been able to replicate myself.
  3. Thanks all for replies and suggestions. As one who has worked in Illustrator for 20 years I looked forward to a competing alternate. I purchased Designer with those hopes 3 years ago. Sad but it is mostly a disappointment at this point. I get that there are copyright issues in building an alt. but some of Designers functionality is just dumb. Maybe when its Designer 20.4.5 all will be great.(Sorry guys A/SL, I will stick with it to the end)
  4. Can someone tell me how to turn off the cascading deletion on vectors in Designer. I have selected 2 breaks points (I delete them) and if accidentally continue to delete ALL my prior created forms are deleted in the order they were made. This is NOT what I want to happen. How to make it stop??
  5. Trying to flatten vectors (2 layers) in Designer can't do it Document> Flatten NO Merge down. This is an important feature as I need to bring vector flat into a second app which turns layers in digital goop. How to do this??????????? FLATTEN is one layer is what I need not raster.
  6. Please don't abandon the Triangle icon for the square in beta release ?! Triangle good, square not good.
  7. Might there be someone building a third party add-on to Designer that would function like a "brush" or "action" to do Auto Tracing??
  8. I have been using Designer but had to go back to Illustrator for the live trace tool, when I found out the feature is NOT in Designer. Any pro over a period of the many years on certain projects finds this an essential tool. It needs to be in Designer sooner rather than later.
  9. I missed the recent sale of the Designer book, will there be a promo/sale/discount in the near future? I want to dig deeper into the app and the best way for me is that oldest of forms- the book.
  10. Yes I was into it today and it seemed like command-Z (undo) was not working. Going back to 1.5 I miss the light user interface right away.
  11. Are the betas still working with OS 10.7.5? Is there any plans to drop that system in regard to Designer?
  12. Other users have mentioned some of the "other" program's tools like scissors being a key missing item but after searching for the Designer "cut" button its a workaround that makes some sense without a tool icon. I can see an adjustment period but I am liking the set-up- like Pixel space and Export space.
  13. Beta is impressive. I had just purchased Designer the week prior to the release and knew of a few things I did not like (the UI color) but wanted to jump in as I have been using Illustrator since 1987 (I think 1st release for a Mac Ci) and Adobe... well I no longer fit their business model. After a couple weeks of exploration and one job, I am very excited about Designer and Affinity's great work to make it "killer"
  14. Seems a bit smoother and faster than 1.5 on my iMac 27. Also works better (it seems) with my Wacom tablet. So far intial improvements are impressive.
