[Mouse support and shortcuts]

Hi!

I just get the MX masters 2S and can't wait to connect it with my ipad(s) to see how it works in affinity designer.

I was surprised that pen tool works flawlessly (well almost) on my gf's ipad pro 10.5.

BUT there was a problem with my 12.9 (3rd gen.) with pen tool. Seems that I'm not able to click on anchor point, just to "slide". It's somehow hard to explain, but I'm planning to make a comparison video on that.

All settings are the same, both running 13.2.3.

Any ideas?

 

[Mesh warp]

Still waiting for this important improvement!

[Arrows for moving]

There should be on screen arrows for left-right, up-down movements.

[Problem with lines]

P.S. I don't have the problems with Procreate

[Problem with lines]

Suddenly I experienced a problem with inaccurate line tip when drawn with pressure. The fishtail tip wasn't a problem before, as I remember... What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

[Timelapse]

Timelapse for Designer would be cool!

[No timelapse?]

I can't find timelapse in Designer for iPad...

[Select Same Fill Color]

There should be option to select the same same fill color.

When I click in the same time on one color (with right finger) and (with left finger) on "operations"; "select all", there should be selected all shapes with the same fill color.

BTW, predefined warp, like arc lower, arc upper, and arc options, like the one in illustrator will be fine too!

Thank you all for the answers. As a logo designer, my work should be done in vector, and made as fast as possible. I work on my pc in illustrator, but moving from Ai to Designer for iPad is something that I was waiting for. 

There is only a few things that missing from Ai, and I will move completely from PC to more mobile, more precise and reliable device.

Can't wait future updates!

Mesh warp tool or similar needed. For example, try to make "NETFLIX" logo with arc lower effect. Impossible. Thanks in advance Affinity!

You're right, often not find some work routines is frustrating, I'm "experimenting" with designers for several months and I'm slowly discovering many features that are useful and better replace those I used on Illustrator.

Color overlay, in level effects, is very useful for graphics in the fashion design sector.

I suggest a tutorial that I found on Youtube that, even if it refers to the construction of a logo, I think it will be very useful to understand the use of the levels and non-destructive operations essential for fashion design. 

 

 

The one of the selection for the same colors, however, is just something that I miss !!!

I agree, same color selection is essential. Blend tool and warp (for example netflix logo with arc lower) as well.

[Rulers]

It would be great to have horisontal and vertical sliding rulers.

[A good Pencil tool please!]

Hi Mim.elle,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Tap the Sculpt icon in the context toolbar on bottom to be able to redraw an existing path. Regarding closing the path automatically this is not available. Thanks for your feedback.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

 

[1) Warp - Arc lower (Arc upper) ; 2) Select - Same - Fill Color]

I'm not sure if this helps, but the first picture shows "arc lower" made of rectangular, and the second one, that is made of three steps, shows divided, small shapes that are united in one part, by selected by (black) color.

[1) Warp - Arc lower (Arc upper) ; 2) Select - Same - Fill Color]

Hi there!

I'm astonished with Affinity Designer for ipad! 

I'm almost completely transitioned from my PC to iPad, just need a few more options.

 

     Suggestion #1:  Select BY SAME FILL COLOR

This is very important for professional work :) 

For example, if a group of objects (or shapes) are overlapping, what we need to do is to select them all, and divide them. After they are divided, we need to click on "Add" to merge the shapes together, and that's fine. But if we have a LARGE number of SMALL shapes, merging one by one can take forever.So, option "Select by (the same) Color" is very important and time saving for us designers.

How I think it should be done:

Solution 1. Click and hold the color (from toolbox) with pencil, or with finger, and while holding it select (with your left hand) three dots icon "..." and then choose "Select all"

Solution 2. Add a new icon named "Select Same Color", or similar.

 

   Suggestion #2:  SHAPE EFFECTS

For me, as a Vintage illustrations and Logo designs fan, I would like to have a ARC LOWER, ARC UPPER, AND (possible) ARC tools.

For example: Netflix logo. 

How I think it should be done:

1. After typing "Netflix" for example, convert curves, and than click on new icon set named "shape effects", than click on "Lower arc", or "Upper Arc".

 

OK, that's for now, If I missed these options, if they already exist in same/similar form, please let me know.
