Managed to create a new account on the CommunityPlus forum and posted appropriately. Thanks for your help Alfred and MEB

Thanks Alfred. I've tried the CommunityPlus Forum but it doesn't seem to like my password. I imagine that I need a different password to the one I created for Affinity. I will try again perhaps by creating a new account.

Thanks MEB, that would explain why I was unable to find such facility. A pity as far as I'm concerned because that was the main use I had for DrawPlus. I will have to carry on using DrawPlus which by todays standards would probably be considered by many to be rather 'clunky' even though I find it very adequate for my needs. I will keep my eyes open for any upgrades to Designer as it seems to have some other impressive capabilities but for now, following a very close lightning strike which spelt sudden death for my DPX6 and fried my computer, I am making do with my previous copy of DPX4

I am new to this forum. I am a P.C. user so I hope it is alright for me to post here. I have used Serif Draw Plus for many years and being a Builder (now retired) I found Draw Plus ideal for dealing with small designs such as extensions, staircases, alterations etc. which require technical drawings with the facility for inserting dimensions. Other CAD programs will cope admirably with this type of work but they have the disadvantage of being over complicated to use for this type of work whereas Serif products will do all that I require with accuracy and ease. I have looked at the free trial for Designer and although it seems very powerful and similar in operation to Draw Plus I am unable to find any facility for adding and updating dimensions to a drawing as can be done from connector tool>dimension tool in Draw Plus. My question is: can Designer mark dimensions on drawings? and if so can anyone give me some guidance in this matter.

Hi I'm Harry, The only other forum I have had experience with is a motoring forum and that works slightly different to the Affinity Forum so please excuse me if I post in the wrong section or make any other silly mistakes. I joined because I feel I should upgrade from Serif so I have been looking at the free trial version about which I have some questions. My first problem is one of navigating around this Forum. I want to post a question about Designer and I use a P.C. running on Windows 10 but I can only find a sub section for iPad questions. Can I use that to post a question other than for iPad users?
