Hi everyone,
The Delete key on a physical keyboard doesn’t work with iPad Pro to delete whatever you have selected.
I noticed when I try to change pen stroke thickness and hit Delete it comes out as (null).
Does the Delete Key not register on Affinity Designer or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

Hey got a request to speed up pattern making with these functionalities seen in Adobe Illustrator
 
Video is long, but here are the functionalities that would speed up workflow.
1) 3:52 When a line is selected you can press "Return" and the Move menu Pops Up with fields already highlighted so you can tab through and enter your desired measurement. What I am doing now: clicking on the fields in the Transform field is very inefficient. I believe CAD programs also have this functionality
2) 5:13 Quick Dimensioning with new shapes. When a new shape is made, you can quickly enter dimension of the new shape with a pop up screen. Much better than clicking the Transform box.
3) 9:32 Offset Path (something I already mentioned in different thread), but this pop up offset path is significantly faster than the Affinity workaround.
4) 17:41 Scissor Tool (Cutting Lines of a Closed Shape) - Right nowI have been selecting the node breaking the curve and then deleting the node. The scissor tool in adobe does not require doing all this.
4) 18:08 Measuring Path of Curved Line (Document Info)
I know there are workarounds, but they are just too slow and inefficient. Thanks

One benefit i can see, is being able to work on your iPad without having to be connected to a Mac. 
 
It does have some keyboard shortcuts and they are the same as the Desktop version where possible.  You can also change the Shortcuts in Preferences for certain actions

Pretty much what I am doing. Very inefficient though. But doesn’t work on curves...

Dying for this feature, will have to move to Illustrator for the time being unfortunately...Hate paying $20/month.
My Sewing Pattern Request Thread: 
 

Just wanting to add my voice to those requesting a measurement feature for lines/curves.
At the moment, I am using a workaround of rotating my design to zero rotation, drawing a horizontal line from point-to-point, looking at the Width measure reported in the Transform window, then deleting the superfluous line and rotating the design back to it's original orientation.

Line length, line angle, & line position, should all be available together. To take a graphics program, from a consumer level toy for making birthday cards, to a professional level, such information and more (area) should be available for every polygon and geometric type shape. For example every polygon should have the option to display its center with crosshairs and to show its basic subdivisions. So a hexagon would be able to show its subdivisions into 6 similar triangles. There is nothing difficult, about this for a computer, or in terms of code. Drawing programs back in the 1990s could do this. There was one dialog box for creating multisided polygons till they became indistinguishable from circles, with or without subdivisions. Not a dumbed down display of 10-12 "favorites.

Desperately need it for sewing grading patterns. I have tried the workarounds, but it just doesn't work out the way I want it with complex sewing patterns for seam allowances.
I want to stay with Affinity so bad though.

AffinityBrah,
After Expand Stroke and flipping the Fill and Stroke:
Select the black pointer. Click the Divide button in the control panel. This releases the compounding of the two paths. Now you have two individual parallel paths that you can style as desired.

Hi AffinityBrah,
We don't have a hotkey for calling up dimensions or coordinates. 
I'll get this moved over to Feature Requests  

So I ended up trying Iconmoon, worked right away. Nothing was wrong with my icons at all. It was just Fontastic. Thanks again

Ok, thanks for response!
 
Does this look better? I duplicated background and you could probably tell, but what is the method for seamless feathering? I just went to Affinity Photo and used the Inpainting Brush. Not sure if there is a better method. Is there a way so that duplicated background doesn't look so obviously duplicated?
 

Hi guys!
 
I am practicing placing products specifically clothing on different backgrounds. Does something seem off to you guys? It does to me, but I can't pinpoint.
 
So the jacket was on a white background. I cut out the white background. Placed in the wood background. Then added an outer shadow in similar, but darker color to the wood background. I added slight inner shadow.
 
As a photographer, I am trying to find a way to minimize the amount of large wood backgrounds. I want to be able to take a picture of any product and realistically place it on any background matching shadows and highlights of the background I am putting it on. Just as if I really had this wood background.
 
These photos aren't mine, but just practicing.
