Hi there,
 
I just wondered if Affinity might ever support these?
 
Many thanks

Hi I'm Michael (Mike if you like :))
 
I'm a web designer/front-end dev these days but cut my teeth with Adobe software back when they were quite lean and mean.
Through the past decade or so I, like so many have watched the bloat grow out of control and the market get sewn/screwed up by the corporate behemoth.
 
I have a soft spot for Photoshop/Illustrator as it has allowed me to produce good work, but with the advent of CC, I've had enough. Currently I use Sketch on OSX which does alot of the web work I need it to do and is a damn fine app, Pixelmator is good but I'm not 100% comfortable with it as a PS replacement. Sketch is no Illustrator, and that's a part of it's charm, but I do need an Illustrator type app too.
 
All the best to you guys @Serif, I'm test driving it now and with the good price point you hope to bring it out at, it's a no brainer really. I'm rooting for you guys to do what no-one else has or can... end the Adobe tyranny and set the people free!!
 
Healthy competition is a lovely thought, but it's beyond that by order of magnitude, BIG-A needs a kick up the rear.
 
Speak soon.

I asked this question in another post which was all but ignored. It is very important. Sometimes black/grey UI sucks your peripheral vision away from the workspace.

Feature request to enable nodes to be equally distributed along a path, using the align space tool.

Oh great, I was supposed to get some work done today... thanks.  ;)  serious rabbit hole territory...

Hi ottobyte,
You can set a custom shortcut for the Break Curve and Join Curves commands in the Preferences.
Select Node Tool from the second dropdown in the Keyboard Shortcuts section and set your own.

The creative guys here at Serif Labs knocked up keyboard shortcuts cheat sheets - hope you find them useful!
 
Now updated PDFs for 1.4

Thanks for all the replies! Yes It's just a different way to draw for me. 
 
There is a particular task I am doing now which is becoming very awkward to get the fluidity in the curves I want to achieve. A couple of years ago I had some success using them in Inkscape, I tried that again yesterday and the app has to be the most unsatisfying environment to work in of all time - to make matters worse, it appears to run slower on OS X than it ever did! I digress.
 
@Matt, that's great that you already have the architecture in place. Well I'll be happy to wait until you guys have the time to add them, would be very useful, as apart from Inkscape or 3D modelling software, no OS X app seems to have them.

Yosemite style...mockup
 
Obviously less than half done but you get the idea :)
 

I've just seen this post, adding an outline fixes it for now - why didn't I think of that, would have saved my hair loss!

Thanks for the quick reply - late on a Sunday evening!
 
Doing lots of manual positioning adjustments isn't what I was hoping for - but at least I know it isn't just me now!  Where the objects are the same colour I've painted over the lines using the pixel based brushes, where the fills are different I'm learning to be pragmatic and either over or under-lap the geometry, as you suggested.
