Thanks, but amathewson did not tell us the unit and his issue.

Welcome here and congrats. Which “0.01strokes” (issue) do you mean?!

Perhaps silly and too much work, but if you really really need it: Can’t you duplicate the image (and crop it)? You don’t need professional typography in this project? How can you “survive” without optical margin alignment, baseline …?

Welcome here. No. Should it? Please check it on “Affinity Designer feature roadmap” / “Common Feature Requests INDEX”.

Of course it works. We all know that you “can't use ADF”. You already wrote it some weeks ago. That’s why we rethought the unprofessional pressure profile heads. First workaround: Create / copy all your needed arrowheads in/to a font (or order it), duplicate your curve, type/paste the needed head character/glyph on the path, align left / right or use a tab stop. HTH

As a precaution: AD is not intended for leaflets or something similar.

But it’s not “just a question of a little patience” because it is only on the “Common Feature Requests INDEX” and not on the feature roadmap. So it does make sense to wait and not to advertise AI or to bewail missing features in other apps. Have you tried the workaround with text path? How many different arrows do you use?

Welcome here, Arnaud. Just this: Depends on the objects. You can move shapes (the shape tool is still activated) by dragging when the cursor is positioned exactly over the bounding box or you can use the arrow keys, you can toggle between the move tool and the first selected tool by pressing “V” and you can use the transform panel.

Well, you have the beta, right? Not everything is in Affinity Help because the doc team gets green light from the dev team. Described somewhere in the forum.

Of course. First: That has nothing to do with the 72 dpi. Second: The x-height of a font has not very much to with the “Text Height” or your “font size”, because the Text Height (point size) is still defined as a very free body height. Sorry, it is not easy to explain in a sentence, but got it? PS: 10 pt Text Height “never” results in text that is 1/72*2,54*10*10 mm heigh. But in many cases if you use c in the Text Height field.

Perhaps a "hover” hint with Affinity Help link is a solution. New units like xp and xm would be not ideal. A new pop-down for selecting x, a, c, … needs more place. :-(

Well, yes. Seems to be math. ;-) Already explained here. HTH Sorry, Dave was quicker and better. Perhaps a "hover” hint with Affinity Help link is a solution.

Some of 2014: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/1735-more-functions https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/1736-more-functions-2 https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/3849-dxf-file-support-spiral-shape https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/8498-spiral-shape-tool/?hl=spiral https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/9375-creating-spirals https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/12853-how-would-you https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/1813-spiral-tool

First bigger one.

Serif doesn’t tell us their concepts. We just got the tabs and the whole UI. If we have a real chance to create the concepts, thinking carefully about it would make sense. There are many possibilities, like zooming, shrinking/hiding of unused stuff, more pages, animation … depends what will collide with the plans of Serif.

. Discussed and liked since 2014. HTH and would not seen as an unfair note. Would be great if “Find in Layers Panel” would work when more than one item is selected.

Right, in AD we only get (unclickthroughable) “holes”. Perhaps we never get an answer why.

Derailing the thread? ;-) Node Tool ‣ Reverse Curves

Beginners don’t understand why they need an additional click and have to press an additional key if they want to select small objects lying into a whole. Same story with the Expand Stroke bug. New features seems to be much more important than correcting and improving very basic features. Sorry, but this is only one opinion of users that need other apps for some basic features or better usability. If there would be a “Working on bugs list”, it would be no problem that you need more clicks and keys in addition for some years of “coming soon”.

It is weird that Affinity does not communicate things that are not obvious. No problem for professionals but for the usability and for beginners that need a real manual. If the triangle would be a bit open or made of two or more objects, ALT would not be needed to select objects in its hole.

Welcome here, NFG ALT-click does not help?

Thanks for your tireless help, MEB! | :), :) :) :)

Because professional software should not have half-baked features like this “Fülltext einfügen”.

Build/Illustrate a human out of 1028 atoms, out of electrons, protons, … quarks, … we need more precision! Will there be an Affinity Store for those assets soon?

Hallöchen, Hans. Die Übersetzung ist wohl (mal wieder) für Deutschsprachler nicht ganz eindeutig. Aber wieso sollte man von Affinity auch eindeutige Beschreibungen erwarten, wenn nicht einmal korrekte Gänsefüßchen genutzt werden. Es scheint wichtiger, zu betonen, dass Katzen Klasse haben. ;-) Es handelt sich um das letzte blaue Werkzeug (mit dem kleinen Aufklapp-Dreieck) links in der Werkzeugpalette, das bei gedrückter ALT-Taste aktiviert werden muss. OK? Es existiert noch kein Affinity-Werkzeug, mit dem man automatisch Pixel vektorisieren kann. Aber dies wird wohl (sehr professionell) ab Version 2 kommen. Davor wird noch eine Funktion eingebaut, mit der immerhin Auswahlen in Vektoren verwandelt werden. Jetzt muss man dies entweder händisch (mit Vektorpinsel, Bleistift, Zeichenstift, etc.) oder in anderen Programmen (kostenlose Tools gibt es auch) bewerkstelligen.
