It’s better than nothing, but I have to say the new swipe-up solution is not ideal. Why complicate things when you can just bring it back to its original place as a separate button. And on another note, I just wish the UI stayed the same. New UI is fine but what bothers me is that it’s not clearly defined and intuitive anymore. Like for example in the FX layers, I get that I can toggle the icons under the sliders to switch between types of FX settings but the lack of naming just stagnates my mind. While in the older version, sliders are named and are highly convenient to use. Highlighted in red rectangles to show the difference.
I also liked the older appearance and behaviour better.

Was about to post the same... fonts are displayed in Chinese and behave different in different dialogues. Hope this will be fixed soon.

Hi @transitdiagrams / Chris,
Apologies for the delayed response - I've tried this here on my M1 iPad using both Horizontal Triangular & Isometric and the gris is stationary for me as I zoom around the document.
Can you please confirm for me:
- What iPad model are you using?
- What version of iOS is installed?
- Do you have any Display Zoom or Accessibility options enabled?
Many thanks in advance!
Hey Dan,
thanks for the late reply. It is more or less solved for now - Display Zoom was causing the problem. I have an iPad 5th generation with iPadOS 16.2. I turned it off and it worked perfectly. It would be nice though to have grids working with Display Zoom on too.

Now that l have turned off display zoom snapping is working fine again.

@transitdiagrams do you have Display Zoom on in your iPad Settings? It messes with grids and artboards. If you do, and turn it off, the grid should stick where it's supposed to.
Thank you, that solved it. Hopefully this will be fixed in future in order to use display zoom again.

All seems ok here🤔
That's how I want mine to behave too 😃 maybe it's due to the fact that I am using the latest beta on my iPad Pro? Maybe it has to do with the M1 my iPad has? @Dan C

Here tis. Tap the white triangle on Preview and turn on Grids. Tap again for Grid Settings. Lots of hidden menus lurking in V2 but the Help file is pretty good.🙂
Do all the grids work on your iPad? Mine are all floating around when zooming or moving around - see my video 😕

Hey,
it's me again and it's about grids again - and it concerns all three app (AD, AP and APub). The grids just don't work properly at all:
Hope this will be fixed with the next update as many people including me work and rely a lot on grids.
All the best,

In the meantime, I have found that when changing the Display option in Affinity Designer > Preferences > Performance from OpenGL to Metal, then restarting the app, the grids are displayed correctly.
Hey @Dan C,
thank you for the tip. Now it's working correctly. So I can confirm it. 😃
PS: there is the same issue (even stranger behaviour) on my iPad - made a post for it:
-
du kannst nur alte V1-Dokumente in V2 aber nicht umgekehrt öffnen. Also sind neue Files nicht abwärtskompatibel.

Hey,
first of all, thanks for the new versions of all your apps!
The first little bug (although for me very important as I use this grid a lot) is that the horizontal triangular grid doesn't work properly. It looks and behaves like this:
All the best,

I always use the betas on my devices and it has some pretty nice new features 😃 Especially the Stage Manager is awesome

Many thanks for uploading that for me! I can confirm I've been able to replicate this issue both on Windows and Mac, therefore I'm getting it logged with our developers now
In my testing, there was not much noticeable difference with the above options enabled/disabled, so I believe this to be a more computational issue, rather than rendering or compositing.
I also tried different performance options and also without better results.
Hope this gets fixed in the next version as this can be annoying to waiting just for minor changes of the corner. 🙂

Hey there,
whenever I work with my Apple Pencil only there is no keyboard appearing.
The text bar also covers parts of the side menus (that's a minor thing but maybe this could be resolved).
All the best,

Firstly, please change the 'Darstellung' option to Metal, restart the app as prompted and then try editing once again.
If this doesn't seem to change the behaviour, please try unticking Hardware-Beschleunigung at the bottom of the dialog, restart the app and try again once more. (Note the Darstellung should remain as Metal at this time.
If there is still no improvement, please return the Darstellung option to OpenGL, whilst leaving Hardware-Beschleunigung unticked, and restart the app once more.
Do you see any noticeable differences with these options enabled/disabled?
I will try and see how the different options work.

Uploaded. For example: Try to adjust the corners of the S1 stroke - this one always causes freezing of the app.
Thanks again 😃 Chris

Hi @transitdiagrams/Chris,
Sorry to hear you're having trouble!
Are you able to provide a copy of a file where this issue occurs? If you'd like a private upload link for this, please let me know.
Can you also provide a screenshot of your settings under Edit > Preferences > Performance for me?
Many thanks in advance
Hi Dan,
thanks for the fest response.
As it is an work in progress for a commission (not yet approved by the customer) I would only share it privately and only with the layers containing the multiple lines.
Here is a screenshot of my preferences:

Thanks for providing that for me! My apologies as your understanding is correct, for strokes in the 'middle' of the appearance stack, neither behind/in front options are required, therefore neither are selected and this is expected behaviour.
Just to confirm, the file you have provided, does this show the same Stroke/Appearance error for you? As opening this file here shows the same values for me in both locations.
That's how I see it:

like you can do it with palettes

Hey there,
sometimes when I want to adjust many node corners (the radius of curved corners in my cases) at the same time AD tends to freeze for a few minutes before it has been able to make all changes. Is this normal behaviour? The strange thing is that it only occurs sometimes in some files. It also seems to happen more likely the longer I am working continuously on a file.
Anybody else having this sort of issues?
Chris

still no news on any updates or betas?

That is exactly what I was instantaneously thinking about when reading Serif has joined a family.
Gravit was a good software with potential but after they had became a family member it got quickly quiet around it... and eventually will disappear. The difference to Affinity is that it was really basic and not a suite and Corel had already its very good counterpart. Taking over Gravit was merely to stop it becoming a dangerous competitor.
