Smoke and Spirits

The bug forum is intelligently broken into subforums for the appropriate programs, yet this learning/teaching forum is not. I've attempted via searches to fine tune the content yet maybe half of anyone mentions or tags the program and format their tutorial is for. It couldn't take a whole lot of effort to just break this forum up for the specific programs. Then we wouldn't have to worry about people's lack of declaration. There's extrenuous limits on what we can learn from the serif tutorials for affinity designer for the ipad. I just want to be able to more effectively exchange information on an application and format specific level. This is likely the incorrect forum for this type of suggestion. If so, could someone kindly direct me to where this message should be directed?

Thank you so much for that. I’m still pretty new to the program. Picked up most things pretty quick but I cannot often figure out many of those individual tool options. Be nice if they mentioned somewhere what those different options do. Tutorials are still limited and there is also no mention in the manual aside from the anchor point mover within the transform studio. still got plenty of love for the application though. Been making some pretty magnificent minimalist logos even without many of the illustrator tools I’m so used to. I do miss sculpting lines with the warp tool though that was always good fun. Any clue if they eventually plan on warp tools, or do they even have a warp mesh or anything similar?

So I have been doing a lot of work with geometric designs with repeating rotational patterns and I found doing something as simple as rotating an equilateral triangle around its center point isn’t supported. The transform anchor is based off the bounding box surrounding a shape which gives a different centerpoint than the object itself. I’ve developed workarounds to this issue but the process could be simplified immensely. It would be great to add support to place your anchor anywhere, with the ability to snap to shape/curve anchors. This would allow some great and much needed freedom in the realm of geometric design especially and I’m sure it would be handy in many other illustrations as well.
