Jhonatan S

Hi dev team! first of all, thank you to provide this space for us to give our suggestions.

well, I'm writing this topic because I'm 100% working with Affinity Designer on Ipad pro, I'd like to give an amazing feature suggestion.

What is it?
My suggestion would be about the User Experience while using the tools, for example,  adding a radial menu option to handle easily with a finger while using (games, 3d software and procreate are offering this options as well).

why?
Following these images examples below, this saves a lot of time and makes the usage much more comfortable when you are working long hours,  switching the options like pen tool, geometries clip compounds, etc...

How?
without going in each section to apply a function or change the tool, of course, this menu can be activated as an option for those that want to use, another example, the radial menu follows the Persona, like Vector Persona, it will follow tools for Vector persona, and so on with the Pixel Persona.

I hope I've been clear in this explanation. Well, thank you a lot for taking this into consideration, definitely,  I believe this will be a useful feature to see in the next future updates.

See you.

Jhonatan S Silva.





 

Hi Jhonatan S Silva,
Thanks for letting us know - I've reproduced this here and have passed it onto development.

When I was a Procreate user, I used this all the time.  Would love to see this in Affinity iPad apps

Status: Beta
Purpose: Features, Improvements, Fixes
Requirements: Purchased Affinity Designer for iPad From App Store
App Store:  Not submitted
Download link: Join the TestFlight
 
Hello,
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of the Affinity Designer Beta 1.9.0 for iPad.
If this is your first time using a customer beta of an Affinity app, it’s worth noting that the beta will install as a separate app - alongside your store version. They will not interfere with each other at all and you can continue to use the store version for critical work without worry.
This beta is significantly different from the 1.8.6 version available for purchase - we strongly recommend that you do not use this beta for real work as data could be lost and the files you save are not guaranteed to open in previous / future versions of Affinity Designer.
Thanks again for your continued support!
Matt
 
Changes Since 1.8.6

- Fix for colour-picker not working correctly in brush tools
- Fix a number of potential symbol-related problems
- Text improvements - particularly relating to mid-word punctuation
- Snapping tweaks - you can now snap to column guides if they're hidden and you have 'snap to hidden objects' turned on
- Added hierarchical antialiasing control - accessed from the Layer Options view in the layers studio
- New cat shape (accessible on Friday 13th)
- Fix for printing of passthrough PDFs
- Misc PDF export tweaks
- Fix for Column Guides not updating correctly
- PDF Import improvements (particularly around tinted colours and unknown fonts)
- Application registration and content streaming (see post below)
- Fix for pixel layers inside symbols occasionally acting incorrectly (painting may not apply to all symbol instances, items may transform oddly, for example)
- Fixed sporadic crash with Pencil Tool (yay!) and hopefully generally improved product stability
- Fix for artefacts occasionally noticed in the noise pattern while editing objects with noise on a linear fill
- Enable image placement options in Designer (you can now choose Linked or Embedded)
- Added option for Designer to be able to show/hide overflow text - particularly useful for text on a path
- Fix for terrible rendering problems - particularly affected cropped items with layer effects applied
- Added Contour tool.
- Select Same / Select Object functionality. I'm happy to consider requests for extra options, so if you have a favourite, just say...
- Improved performance with large documents. I will aim to improve this further over time.
- Added a new “Divide” blend mode.
- Allowed snapping to the bounds of the pixel selection.

Unbelievable! Thank you, thank you very much!!!😀👍
No blobs any more, after two years drawing is possible now!

Car all vectors no raster layers

Hey there!
To make this design I used geometric shapes and also Pencil tool to model the tree!
then I've applied some basic textures with Vector Brushes, the free ones, and I used my Custom Package of Christmas to add some extra elements!
