Hi there! I find myself using 'Lock Children' all the time... I wish we had a way to do a shortcut for out of that so I don't need to rely finding on top panel. By the way, this feature cannot be found in any menu also, which pretty unusual. I guess that should at least be placed somewhere in the Layers panel no?

Hi there, I wish we had the Persona to mirror artboards to mobile devices. I think that would be a huge feature for most UX designers out there...

H there, I wish we could rename the artboards when doubling click over its name direct from the canvas instead depending on the layer panel to do so... It would be much more intuitive! Reminous

Hi there, Linking objects it's a common feature in some other layer based softwares and I don't use it very much... however, sometimes this is the only way to achieve what we want. It's different from grouping objects because sometimes you might want to move/scale to elements together from different layer for example. I know we can do it by selecting objects manually, but it's kind of annoying repeating this process every time... so, I'd love to just see a chain icon somewhere in the layer panel to make life a bit easier.

Hi there, You can actually achieve that today using two different methods: 1) Create your design using objects and artistic text, then group them and apply constraints (View/Studio/Constraints). Then set the text to not scale, you might want to constraint the left and top position as well. I bet that this would be de most common method since you're doing UX and the constraints were actually build with that in mind. 2) You could simple create your design with frame text instead artistic text... Then you just select your objects (group it if you want) and scale the whole think without worrying because the text frame will expand/stretch but the text will remain the same. If you want to scale the text, you can do it by using the second marker on the corner. I did two quick videos to illustrate it better. I hope it solves your problem! method 1.mov method 2.mov

Hi there, Try selecting your objects, then click on "Alignment" button on the Tool Bar, then uncheck "Auto Distribute" for "Align Horizontal" (or vertical) then set any value the slide field... Should have the job done.

I was just login in to report this same problem... we can no longer drag stuff to the Assets Panel

Hi 99Combo, I also use AF for social medias. In my case I created an artboard template with everything I usually like background, text, logo, etc... then all you need to do is create an Asset. If you are a freak like myself, you would find very interesting create a new category for each client... After your artboard/asset is created, all you need to do is create any AF document with 72DPI/RGB and then drag our artboard into the document. I hope it helps! Reminous

I agree with you... little things that means a lot on the workflow.

First of all, AD is getting better and better... However, going through the beta version I'd love to see a few things some of us have been craving since the first version. 1) Lines with arrowheads (pleaaaaaase) 2) Text warp (huge) 3) Layer panel improvements: I'd love to have an option to view only layers for the active Artboard... or at least have a better UX to represent Artboards, Layers, Pixel Layers, Groups, etc, right now it's quite confusing managing it since they all look pretty much the same - specially when you have multiple artboards 4) Colapse / Extend all layers at once (super useful) 5) Hide artboards - and not just its content 6) Rotate guide lines 7) Adding/Overlap multiple effects - apply a multiple layers of shadows on the same effect command There is much I know... If you guys agree or have any more request I'd love to hear from the community. Thanks! Reminous

Hi there, I keep finding myself messing with unwanted layers from others artboards when working in a document with multiple artworks... Is there a way to set the layers panel show only layers from the active artboard? Reminous

I fell you... I've being syncing all my assets, shortcuts in a DropBox folder since I started using Affinity as my main application... and it sucks, because any change I do I have to remember to upload to the cloud and sometimes I just forget... however it is the best approach I've found for now.
