Alferic-1

hope it will come soon, as it's an important feature e.g. for technical drawings

You can save to different file formats with File - Export

You can do it also as well known CopyPaste with ⌘C ⌘V

Hello Peter, great! so it works perfectly. Thank for the hint with the "paste inside" Alferic-1 FillTest3.afdesign

Thank You for the answers. Today it's too late to try it, but I will do it tomorrow according to your guidance

For the whole document I can change the units in File - Document Setup - Document Units e.g. to px But where can I change the units for strokes? They always are shown in pt and can't be changed to px, mm etc. I can enter in px, but then it is still converted to pt

Yes like this - it needs not to look such artful, only plain I want to make drawings e.g. like this: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Verleihung_Eichenlaub_an_ausländische_Personen.jpg

Hello MEB, I tried, but it doesn't work Look my attacked testfile: I want to fill the drop with the "flag", everything outside the drop shall be blank 1st picture: start version 2nd picture: I marked yellow stripe of flag, then drop, then I clicked the intersect tool: OK 3rd picture: I marked red flag tripe, green flag stripe, then drop. When I use intersect tool: everything vanishes: NOK (the marking of only two of the three stripes was for demonstration, I first marked all stripe and then everything disappeared) 4th picture: I grouped flag stripes: intersect tool is blanked out and can't be used What do I wrong? FillTest2.afdesign

I want to fill one shape with another one. e.g in a map I want to have the shape of the country filled with the flag of the country. How an i do this. I tried to work with the tools in the intersect toolbar, but didn't get it

How can I modify end of a line, e.g. arrow, or dot, ...?

to move a object, I can use the transform tool and enter the new position in absolute coordinates. but what I miss: relative moving: e.g. from actuel position 10 mm to X and 5 mm to Y (and also with a copy option for this) or 10 mm in direction 45° I didn't find this option, where is this? Or if not exists until now it is an urgent feature request

How can I arrange an element multiple e.g. 25 ones in a 5x5 grid with a distance of 10 mm each or in a circle every 30 degrees.

Hi I'm Wolfgang. I live in Austria. I'm no graphic professional, I use graphic programs only for private purposes. I started with Corel Draw 1 on an 386SX so roundabout 25 years ago and upgraded it regularely. When changing to Mac 10 years ago I looked for a vector graphic program for OS X. Adobe one's are too expensive for occasional use. I tried several programs. The last one I tried and used for a longer time was Intaglio, but I missed a lot of useful things. When i read about Affinity Designer in c't Mac & i this week I instantly download it in App store and begun to explore it. Guys of serif: Great Job. It's easy to use and has a lott of possibilities and features! Fully professional and that for only 49€. A good source to get knowledge of the how to and features is Affinity Review #1. Thanks for that . And now I'm going to create some illustrations.

I want to draw with the pen tool and the nodes shall snap to the grid. OK, that works, But: can I make a fixed grid e.g. every mm? As I see the grid changes automatically when zooming in/out. A fixed grid would be necessary for exact drawings not depending from zoom level I didn't find any menu to adjust this.
