Why not? Command + J, Option + Drag, Command + Drag, Edit > Duplicate, Edit > Copy + Edit > Paste … or what do you mean by “cloning an object”?

If I make a clone of object A, any changes to object A will also changes the clone.

Can't you use squarespace or wix?

The first part of this thread seems pretty easy, development should implement it right away.

And we're not taking into account the capital of Adobe, the fact that Adobe is one of the first developers, and that serif doesn't pull up an "Adobe move" if you know what I'm talking about.

"Illustrator existed for about 31" does not emphasize this ...
I use illustrator from the very first version and your statement makes me feel extremely old !!!
Surely it is better to say that you use AD from the first version.

Yeah, I think it is. By the way, nice profile picture.

Yes you can finetune it, the above was just a plain take over in order to show that you get then nodes for such a brush on the vector side.
This is really helpful to make animation without animation program.

Maybe, haha.
But now that we are talking about Illustrator, I believe that most of the folks that complain about some features not present in Designer want Illustrator so hard but they are so poor... Frustration beyond imagination.
Best regards!
Here is the thing : Illustrator existed for about 31 years while AD is 4 years. When a software that is more than 7 times younger can replace most of the older software feature, you (not specifically you, but people that says this software is not an Illustrator competitor) just need more time.

You need to add some <sarcasm></sarcasm> markers.

But, I still feel it's worth pointing out that we are no cheap clone.
The different of "cheap clone" and simply "not greedy" is unnoticeable sometimes. I'm on the second one.

How can it be full vector if a PNG raster file is used as it's foundation here?
Well then, I think I need to just use high resolution. I still want those sweet pure vector brushes though.

No, we are definitely NOT copying Illustrator. Firstly, I am the one that wrote both the snapping and grids/axis features, and I can tell you that I did not copy Illustrator at all. I actually worked to a set of use cases, and fitted tools to a set of requirements. Any similarities will be due to arriving at similar conclusions, but through a logical process. I can also tell you that what we are doing with grids and axes in 1.7 is stuff that is going to be unique, and is most certainly NOT copied from any other software.
I also have no idea what you mean by "inventing snapping tolerance".... the idea of "tolerance" is not exactly original, and the idea of snapping something that exists within distance of another thing most certainly is not a unique concept to Illustrator. Try using some other packages for 2D, 3D, etc, etc, etc. They all offer snapping using some notion of tolerance - how on earth else would you do it!?!?!?!?!?
Do you not realize I meant that as a sarcasm to the first guy?

If it's mandatory to deliver the AI file, some folks do this: pay one month for that solely purpose and integrate that fee into the final price for the client.
Another way would be that more clients embraced the Affinity range of products.

Best regards!
Oh, that's cheeky. I like that!

Please note that Ben didn't say they are not copying Illustrator. All he said was that they are not just copying Illustrator.

Please also read my whole comment.

I don't see how you could do this without creating the sleeve as a brush and the hand/sleeve-end as a separate object.
I think you are correct.

To create a custom preset brush stroke from scratch:
On the Brushes panel, click the panel preferences icon and then select:
- New Solid Brush—creates a basic, solid vector stroke.
- New Textured Intensity Brush—creates a brush stroke based on the opacity values of a raster image. In the pop-up dialog, navigate to and select a file, and click Open.
- New Textured Image Brush—creates a brush stroke based on the color values of a raster image. In the pop-up dialog, navigate to and select a file, and click Open.
The new brush is added to the selected category using default settings.
Is there a way to keep it vector and not raster?

Sorry, I am not really sure what you are saying? No basic tools?
As for development time, we have developed our apps a lot faster than some of the big competition (no names). Our v1 release is more feature rich than most first release software. As for "not knowing where we are going" - you could not be more wrong!!! We have a very good idea where we are going, but our policy is to only release features when they are up to a standard that we are happy with. Pushing out a half-baked solution just fixes a poor implementation in history - as is very clear in some other packages where they are now "stuck" with some bad choices.
And, one thing we are definitely NOT doing, is just copying Illustrator! Try reading some professional reviews on that front.
No, you are definitely copying illustrator! Illustrator is the first who make this "draw modes persona" thingy! They also invent snapping tolerance and tilted planes first! And most importantly, i need to pay 20$ a month to use the software!

Honestly. I bought the program and can say, that when you work a little longer than the trial version, you'll find that the programs are very raw. There are no basic tools. The development of the program is very slow. The guys are not in a hurry and maybe not even know where they are going. They do not collect the best of the other programs, they just copy Illustrator. The interface is already getting tangled, and they are just beginning. I could return the program back, but $100 is not a lot of money.
At least the company is not greedy.

Isn't there a feature called power duplicate?

Actually, in those years, Adobe Illustrator (1987) and Aldus FreeHand (1988) were practically simultaneous, given that FreeHand's drawing engine was largely based on its progenitor, Altsys Fontographer (1986). Right out the gate, FreeHand surpassed the functionality of Illustrator (Illustrator could not even "edit in preview mode"; you had to switch to "outline mode" to edit paths), and Illustrator continued to trail years behind FreeHand's functionality throughout their competitive history.
Having lived through all that (my first hands-on exposure to Bezier drawing being Fontographer on a Mac Plus), I simply attribute Adobe's dominance to the fact that it created PostScript. That's what made it the "household word." All the buzz of the "desktop publishing revolution" was about "Adobe PostScript." So anything with the Adobe brand on the box was considered the "safe bet."

You know some deep history about these programs!

I mean written document. Open the Help, and search for "expressions"
But that's even worse because you have to read them. Except if the help section have "uncommon features" section that the assistance would point out when you first open the app. No hate, just want to give constructive criticism.

The question is, when will it be launched? It's already 3 months.
