MikeMo got a reaction from JLX in Designer - Free transform tool (perspective distort)
I would also like to know the answer to this question. I love using Affinity Designer on PC (so far it's a million times more intuitive to use than AI) but not having a Free Transform seems like a bit of an oversight.
p.s. Free Transform tool should also respect your selection within the Node Tool. Currently to select some nodes and scale them you need to use the Transform dialog box.

MikeMo got a reaction from Jowday in Compound Vector Masks (1.7 update)
My suggestion would be to allow for editing of Compound Vector Masks without having to un-nest them first or destructively converting to curves.
Sadly, the lack of this feature alone is enough to stop me from using A.Designer for any commercial work.
This suggestion is to update an older request that I made which has now been put in the warehouse as I fear it may be lost to the sands of time.

MikeMo reacted to eross21 in AutoTrace (convert raster image to vector)
maybe I'm missing it, but is there an option to open a JPEG, or bitmap image
and trace,or convert it to a vector file for further editing? If not there should be one, it would be a great option. even if it had only a few modes like black and white, and 5 color
it would make me convince me to convert from adobe illustrator

Tracing would be just great. Really, really great.

MikeMo reacted to Aammppaa in Free transform selected nodes within a shape?
Yes it is in 1.7
Node Tool > Transform Mode on the context toolbar

MikeMo got a reaction from SerpentEagle in Scale Tool
This has still not been implemented. Very basic & essential tool missing from such an otherwise beautifully conceived application.

MikeMo got a reaction from Jowday in Affinity Designer for Windows - 1.6.5
Still no Free Transform tool for selected nodes in a shape??
Still no stacking masks?
I'm pretty surprised at how limited the toolset is still in Affinity Designer. My initial excitement at how simplistic AD is compared to Illustrator has completely dissolved. Perhaps too many products over the different platforms has spread the team too thin.
Can't recommend this app to anyone in it's current state and the snail's pace of development. Hope things improve in the future, I'll come back periodically to check on your progress.

MikeMo reacted to MEB in Compound Vector Masks
Hi MikeMo,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Currently you have to un-nest the compound in the Layers panel (move it to outside the object layer it's masking) to be able to expand the compound layer and access/edit the shapes nodes individually. I would like yo see this improved as well. Currently the only way to edit the nodes directly (while the vector shape is nested and used as a mask) is if instead of a compound you simply Add (boolean operation) both shapes "destructively". Check this file: sample_file_2.afdesign.
Moving this to the Feature Requests section.
