[Feature request - XD features for designer]

Affinity designer is a great tool for UI design. 

To make it a fully featured UX / UI prototyping tool, please add the following:

• Hotspots to add links between artboards
• commenting / review functionality
• visual paths between artboards show / hide 

 

 

[Enhanced art board functionality]

Add functionality to whiteboards to allow for use of designer as a wire framing, process mapping tool.

 

As a UX designer, I make use of designer to create wireframes and ui mockups. Whilst more specific tools exist I prefer the ease of use and quality that designer offers.

For use as a UI tool, it has recently made some great advances, a useful feature however would be to link artboards together to show the links between CTA and destination targets.

 

Another way of doing this would be to have a parent dartboard that thumbnails of the other artboards could be included. This would allow the creation of advanced process flows.

 

 

[Global Symbols? A.K.A. Symbols shared between documents?]

Could you create a document with symbols in and then duplicate the document to use the symbols? Effectively creating a library document as a template.

 

It would of course be useful to have a global set of symbols that can be changed and synched across documents.

[The move tool is only moving some layers]

In the above I have selected the layers I want to move around the canvas and when I move I just get the outlines.

[The move tool is only moving some layers]

[The move tool is only moving some layers]

In both Affinity photo and designer, if I select a layer (or layers) with the move tool then it is moving an outline of the layer contents and not the actual contents.

 

This is only on some of the layers. I am pretty sure it's something I am doing wrong and not a bug.

 

Any ideas?
