Oh yes and I forgot to say, great file attachment and interesting method for "measuring" any path
Is there a better method in AD for “measuring” any path?
Unfortunately, still no measurement indicator. :-( :-( :-( Would not need much time …

Please can you clarify one thing about this attachment (currently intelligent_rulers_upd2.afdesign)? The line called "DTP Cicero" is surely "DTP Pica", being 6 units per (English) Inch. [This is standard "Postscript Pica" not American Pica or French Pica .] "Cicero" is, as far as I know, always defined in terms of the larger french Royal inch, or is "DTP Cicero" a term I have not come across meaning the same as "Pica"?
Some teachers, typographers and designers still use Cicero, Doppelcicero, Nonpareille, Petit, Rheinländer, Palestine, …
DTP Cicero is not DTP Pica and
DTP was used just to ensure that (not the old Didot point but) the “actual” unit is meant. Experts see at a glance: 1(0) DTP Cicero = 12(0) DTP points (compare the last two rulers).

What other apps do you use for this? I don’t want to go back to Adobe.
What is Adobe?
Sorry, but already had extra effort because we called a name. An internet research/books on the subject should help.

Der Tipp von A_B_C ist schon richtig
Funktioniert aber nicht in diesem Anwendungsfall, wenn man sich im Vollbildmodus befindet.

Den Modus sehe ich bei mir nicht. Unter "Fenster" werden mir nur meine geöffneten Dateien aufgelistet.
Falls der erste Eintrag wirklich fehlen sollte: Vielleicht hilft ein Reset (CTRL beim Start gedrückt halten)?
Alle Details dazu in der (Online-) Hilfe: Sie müssen sich also für einen der Modi entscheiden, bevor Sie in die Vollbilddarstellung wechseln.

AffinityAppMan, “type in the search field above” was announced but not implemented. But there is still hope: “This is currently no search functionality - we are aware it would be useful and are considering possible solutions”.

There's no conflicts and I'm not slowing them down
Sorry, no one said so. It's just a pity that the announced order is wrong again.

Say what now?
Still hoping APu will launch before iAD, because of the statement “After completing the full suite on the Mac […] we will look into other platforms”.

still has some flaws (like the not so realistic shadow)
abra100pro, sollte ein Logo nicht möglichst »unrealistisch« sein, damit es schneller und besser erkannt und eingesetzt werden kann?

Since JPEG only supports a maximum of 65,535 × 65,535 pixels, shouldn't the Affinity apps pop up an error message or the like if users try to export anything larger than that to a JPEG file instead of trying to write the file & never finishing?
Well, Affinity does generate a message. If the user can read and does not want to export the smaller file, he could simply cancel the export box or/and change his strange settings.

Welcome here, AD user.
1. Your design is about 632 inch by 295 inch / 16 m by 7.5 m at 300 dpi.
2. You are trying to export a 17 GPixel JPEG file, which is not possible. You could try to export TIFF.
The quickest solution: Print the original file directly or ask the printing company to do this (with one of the trial apps).

Ain't that the truth? And it's such a beautifully phonetic one, to boot!
My favorite one is how the Brits pronounce "aluminum": al-lu-min-ee-um. The first time I heard that, it was on a Youtube video, and I was like, "What is that?" LOL
Is there anything better than ELEVEN ?

no way to create a single vector shape like that
But no problem if we would get advanced control of dash lines. But before that we get beaming (teleportation), right? Countdown starts now … for Matt or …

1. Select All and Cut
3. Paste Inside (the rectangle)
And there are also two or more ways to do this in the layers panel. (please see the Affinity Designer Help)

I didn't get step 2. I gather use the rectangular tool to create a rectangle
There are infinite ways like using the Pen Tool, the Trapezoid Tool, the Rounded Rectangle Tool, … even the Text Tool.

Not sure what 0/0 means
position [X/Y]
Sorry for the short text. With other words:
2. Create rectangle on the same position of the canvas and with the same size of the canvas (and don’t deselect the rectangle)
-
Oh, SVG!
Much easier and quicker:
1. Select All and Cut
2. Create rectangle on 0/0 with the size of the canvas
3. Paste Inside (the rectangle)
4. Export

ask those terrific elves at Affinity to make me a present for Christmas???
Perhaps … for next Christmas or Easter. Again: “Moving the ruler and grid origins will be in 1.7.”

A normal export does not do that for me. […] there's human error
But it should. Cropping should not be needed. Because we don’t know your export options, we don’t know what exactly went wrong.
Having your file and/or selected export options, we can give you more information.
((PS: Using snapping, exact cropping should be very easy.))

Seems like it is taking time away from adding new features.
The decision of Serif. Your decision “taking time away” with the question “Why would anyone be on a version of MacOS older than/then Mavericks?” in this beta thread.

EPS Files are terrible!

Seems AP only used the preview picture of the EPS file because AP could not interpret the real data. Can you try the same with (the trial of) AD (Affinity Designer)?
