Complicated illustrations that have a lot of shapes on a particular layer can take a bit of time to scroll through. Opening multiple layers can result in even more scrolling which, depending on how much memory/processing power your iPad has available, can slow things down sometimes. I’d like to suggest a button/control for the Layers Studio that would collapse all open layers/groups, giving users a place to start over when searching through the parts of a document. Also, how about a control, possibly for the contextual menu at the bottom of the screen, that would give users the option to “show object in Layers”. It would be a shortcut that would instantly open the Layers Studio and jump to the shape/group selected, once again minimizing the scrolling search for a particular item.

...or you can just go third party:

Does it show up as this text file?

AirDrop is standard on all apple products these days. It may not be available for older Macs or Hackintoshes, but AirDrop May be what you’re looking for if your current hardware supports it.

It’s a minor thing, but I’d like to be able to create/sample a color then slide it around to put it next to other colors. Right now, colors remain in the order they were created/sampled, and there shall they stay. The only workaround is to sample and re-add the colors to the palatte and delete the previous ones. Add/delete is not quite as efficient as drag-and-drop would be for this procedure.

+1 from me. Affinity is THE developer for the iPad Pro. You saw that recent Apple keynote. Adobe is racing up the stairs, scraping its knees and cracking its jaw on the corners to catch up to you guys. Don’t let them! And don’t let them purchase you either! Let us do that!

Yes, Lee D, your statement is true. But what I’m looking for is which of the some things have to be rasterized for the trip across. For example: any clipping mask assemblies (you know, the shapes pasted inside other shapes) sent from .afdesigner to .svg arrived in .al as rasterized images on top of empty, unstroked shapes. So now I know that this particular .afdesigner feature will not survive the .svg conversion journey to .ai. And now, so do all of you. This is the data I’m looking for. If anyone has any practical data about .afdesigner/.svg/.ai conversions, I’d really like to know more.

I’m trying to find a workflow that allows me to go from Designer to Illustrator. Yes, yes, I know, but I still have to place work into the other on occasion. I would like to keep the results of the fx panel editable, but I realize that they might need to be rasterized if I want them to exist after the file transfer. Is there a preferred filetype/setup/practice for keeping the appearance of Designer files in Illustrator without absolutely everything winding up as path-masked raster images?

I copied an instance of a Symbol in one file and attempted to paste it into another. Upon doing so, Designer crashes and disappears from view. After I “Detach symbols in selection”, I can copy/paste same objects with no crashes. This one is probably my fault, but Designer completely crashing is quite the dramatic error message!

Started this one as a sketch on a stormy day. I wanted to make it look like it was a photographed piece made from construction paper. The best part was being able to complete the entire thing on my iPad from anywhere I happened to be, rather than sitting at a desk or with a rapidly warming laptop across my thighs. My first piece with the soon-to-be industry standard!

Okay, if color picker isn’t working with the Apple Pencil, give it the finger. :-) Got it! Thanks! You guys are the greatest graphic software developer that starts with “A”. Way better than that other subscription-based one!

The tap-and-drag feature of the color picker found within certain sub-menus works sporadically or not at all. The attached video demonstrates my problem. Anybody else have similar experience? C86E340F-F27E-4D02-9235-CCA31807F318.MOV A3043C0F-E31E-409F-9669-74DDBB0F4E8E.MOV

As I understand it, the Pencil Tool color picker chooses whatever color it’s hovering over and makes it the color for all future lines. Same goes with the fill portion of the Pencil Tool menu. Neither of these Color Pickers seem to have a visual effect on the color swatches in the menu, but do ultimately affect the fill of any objects drawn. Am I missing something, or is the Color Picker?

Take all the time you need. You already have two sales from me, and a guaranteed third upon the iOS release. I may seem Grumpy, but I will still help you rescue Snow White. We’re in this together. #dwarves4life

“I for myself have decided to use what is there already and for everything else I find a workaround.” In other words: ‘deal with it’. Got it. Thanks.
