[Set scale, scale object]

Some time ago I suggested sometime similar. possibilty of seeing the % values while scaling an object or text :)

[Text Frame Columns]

At the moment we have only AD so we want Designer to have all we found in a complete Suite :D

 

Let's wait to Publisher :P

[Alien Invasion]

Great work! :D funny...

 

:D

[Using photos as a reference]

It's a resquested option :) we all hope they can solve it soon somehow.

[Baaaaa!]

Sh..ing over Adobe? :D

[Affinity Photo]

Would it able to manage (editing) RAW images too? :)

[DXF files missing?]

Glad to heard it TonyB :) thanks!

[DXF files missing?]

+1 for this too, ... autocad users like me would love it! :)

[templates?]

Would be great to have a default canvas for a quick use... (with our desired settings) automatically loaded at start if we haven't open the program through any AD's file already saved.

 

Or presets as Wildscribe said.

[Key Cmd to select tool other than Text, while Text is the active tool?]

Press Escape key, it's the solution I use.

[Compatibility with Sketch]

That's probably because you're not supposed to use Sketch after discovering Affinity … ;-)

 

yes, when you try fat you never go back :D

 

And AD it's tasty and will be more and more! :D

[Project Cuba - Jacqueline]

Very funny! :D

[Double click zoom / pan tool]

That's exactly what I mean, a timesaver... :) not having to focus on the keyboard or icons for zooming in / out and zooming to fit.

[Stroke Width]

That looks great...

 

More than that :) fabulous!!!  :P

[Add a Lighter/Brighter UI-mode (implemented)]

Love the program, hate the UI. I too can't live with dark UIs but also, the icons are too small on my 27" iMac screen. Please, can we set our own UI colours and icon sizes?

 

+1 possibility of resizing icons :)

 

And i agree with Richard above, when having to work with a clear canvas it's difficult to see and focusing on the icons...

[Line tool]

Would be great if the pen tool would show (when using the shift key) the length of the line (or segment you're drawing) in real time. :)

[How can I hand draw accurately - just like in Sketchbook Pro?]

I would like to have the possilibity of drawing with more accuracy in AD. :) I use it not for graphic design only but for architecture where the getting perfect lines, angles and lengths is quiet important.

[Text on a path]

[Add a Lighter/Brighter UI-mode (implemented)]

Hmm, maybe skins an option? 

i

That would be too much for the designers hahahah :D :P , I would let my teeth be kicked if only the possibility of a brither UI would come to reality.

[More functions]

Hopefully soon :)

[Affinity Photo]

For what i have heard ... in 7-8 weeks starts the public beta, we can then download it and start using it.

[Drag guides from ruler with any tool]

I've attached a gif that illustrates the guide on hover, and it also shows the pixel guide (as requested here: that Sketch provides that are incredibly useful. The tool + ruler guide feature, and the distance based guides are probably the two tools I'd miss the most if I switched to Designer from Sketch. And would probably prevent me from using Designer at work since precision is key with UI design.

 

+1, it's a new and higher level for rulers and guides... :)

[UI icons]

Yes, possibility of a bigger interface (icons and other tools,...) and lighter one (not only dark) would be great.

[Feature requests]

It was suggestest some weeks ago about DXF importing possibility and being able to "respect" the Autocad Layerss....

[Add a Lighter/Brighter UI-mode (implemented)]

+1

 

I can't understand why do some designers do not attent to just a possibility or optional way of having the color in the interface when a dark mode can't be seen well by some people.
