I don't particularly need Zeplin as such, even though we do use it at work. But something that… Allow others to view designs without having to install software Allow others to comment on designs Download designs, and download exports. … is a necessary part of a design process. If you're a distributed company, even more so. Copying CSS is nice to have, but far, far from the importance of the above. The generated CSS doesn't tend to be that good anyway. With Serif commitment to Affinity products being non-subscription, this could potentially make business sense as a subscription based supplement, if developed by you. Zeplin integration provided by Serif doesn't make sense to me. In this case, exposing an API and making the integration a task of the third party makes more sense. Edit: This is basically what's keeping me from dropping Sketch. Dropping Sketch would be a great relief to me. The way Sketch does components might be a little bit more intuitive perhaps (although it's not that great either to be honest), but other than that, AD is definitely better in every respect.

I came here to ask precisely this question as I noticed it was rasterising the layer. I'm not sure whether the most common use case would be to rasterise or not, but for me it seems logical that you would want to use non-destructive methods on embedded documents. Could the assistant switch to live filtering if you try to do a destructive transformation on an embedded document, with the option to switch back if you were actually going for destruction? I mean, I can always rasterise manually before transforming, if that's what I'm going for.

Aw yissss, nudging elements needs to go the way of the dodo. Out of curiosity, is this implemented with an actual constraint solver behind the scenes (eg., Cassowary)?

Hello! I've noticed that when I put up a bunch of guides in an artboard, and then move the artboard, the guides stay put and don't move along with it. Is there any way to make them move along with the artboard? Or do I have to keep the artboard where it is once I've added guides? Thanks!

To me, the core of design is purpose. As such, it's hard to evaluate without knowing what you want to achieve with them. Whether we subjectively like them might be a good question to ask, but a better question to ask is whether they evoke the response in your audience that you want to evoke. I think the new icons are probably more unique in the landscape of design app icons, so they will probably do a better job of standing out against the crowd, if that is what you wanted to achieve.

What determines slice size and how do I make the slice fit snuggly around an object? For example, this is the object: And when I click "create slice" on that object, this is the slice it generates: Sometimes it seems to fit snuggly, sometimes not. Sometimes I can get the slice to fit snuggly by repeatedly removing the slice and reslicing the same object.

I accidentally closed the right hand toolbar (layers etc.) and I have no idea how to get it back. How do I do that?

Is it possible to resize a box without having the contents resize with it? This is a quite common task in UI design—I need some container to be a bit bigger, but don't want to touch the actual contents.

Hello! I'm working with a perspective drawing, and I was wondering if there's any way to make the cursor snap to the intersection of two lines. Example: Right now it only snaps on Y-axis, and slightly right of the intersection.
