LaTeX typesetting plugin in Designer
lukejanicke replied to Adrian_M's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer V1 on Desktop
Update: I now regularly make equations in Word, export as EPS, and place in Affinity Designer. They place as curves, so no more editing. But you then have full control over sizing/style etc. Then I usually copy and paste straight back into Word (e.g. a test paper that needs figures) and skip the whole expert from Affinity step. Remarkably, the font sizes stay consistent! -

No symbol panel in 1.7.0.249 (Mac)
lukejanicke replied to OleR's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on macOS threads
Yes. But for now it only works that way as an initialiser. You can’t change those style decisions and re-apply them across the document. Re-applying Master Pages to child Pages will reset the style AND content of text frames that are defined on the Master Page. I only lost 20 minutes of work before I discovered this the hard way, and I won’t make that mistake again. Patrick, that’s great to hear. In the meantime, I think I can work with Master Pages and Text Styles to get the end product I want. -
No symbol panel in 1.7.0.249 (Mac)

The help files are pretty clear now. Master Pages are meant for design elements that are common across pages, and not for designing template-like placeholders for controlling styles across different Pages’ content. They’re not like Master Slides in PowerPoint. I don’t have any experience with Adobe ID or other publishing applications (unless you count Word), but it definitely seems like the original intention was there. -

Oh dear. Came looking for how to apply new styles from Master Pages without replacing content on Pages. It looks like the Symbols Panel is gone completely. It shows up in Designer Persona, but not in Publisher Persona. Can anyone confirm? -

Hide context menu
lukejanicke replied to shushustorm's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer V1 on iPad
Came looking for an answer for this, and then stumbled on the answer by accident. Tap the top right icon to hide the UI twice quickly. The context menu hides with the rest of the UI. -
lukejanicke reacted to a post in a topic: Vector Brush Tool sometimes uses fill color
-
I just noticed that the Vector Brush Tool uses the stroke color or the fill color depending on which is selected on the colour panel. If the fill colour is selected, then the Vector Brush Tool uses that color, even if you change the stroke color from the context menu at the bottom of the screen. This is unexpected behaviour. The Vector Brush Tool should always use the stroke colour, right? In this screenshot, the top line was drawn with the the green fill colour selected. The second line was drawn with a red stroke color selected. The third line was drawn after changing the stroke color to yellow from the context menu but then also selecting the green fill colour from the color panel. The colours should be (from top to bottom): red, red, yellow. At least the behaviour is predictable so it’s easy to work around. I’m using Affinity Designer for iPad 1.7.2.6 on an iPad Pro 11" with iPadOS 13 public beta 6. I’ve only just started using Affinity Designer, so I’m not sure whether iPadOS beta is part of the problem.

What I do... Use a rectangle with no colour for line or fill. Group it with the elements you want sliced. Make slice from the group. Export. Unfortunately, I don’t think this will help if you have stuff that span across your intended slices.

lukejanicke reacted to a post in a topic: Font size in SVG
-
Solved! I should have noticed that ratio. I thought I had tried changing DPI but then I noticed that even if the document’s DPI is set to 96, the SVG export DPI is automatically set to 72 at first. When I set the document DPI to 96 and also set the SVG export DPI to 96, then the text in the exported image is 12pt/16px on the webpage, same size at the HTML 12py/16px text. Thanks!
