Hello Affinity,
I am with the Affinity software since it got out - have it for Mac and iPad.
I am very exited to see the Publisher app to come out soon too but have some stomach pain here.
The main angle I see this is coming from Macromedia Freehand that unlike Adobe Illustrator / Indesign
offered layout, masterpage, text tools (Indesign) and Illustration tools (Illustrator) in one application with
another major advantage: different paper formats.
So in stead of having different InDesign files you could have all in one design document.
I see Affinity stepping into the same highly frustrating and annoying limitations Adobe forces onto users.
Freehand got killed and typography and text frame tools where separated so nicely that you need to buy
both Adobe apps.
I really hope that in the long run chaining text frames, master pages, etc will be accessible for Designer too
and not only be limited to Publisher.

2014 was the first time it mentioned that this is such a "must have" tool to have for paths.
Literally Affinity Designer cannot be productively be used for anything remotely like technical illustration where you need call outs etc.
So please this is now 2019 4 to 5 years later now!
Even Gravit Designer a web based app has super path end options !!!
-
dear lord - this is such an easy yet so useful function !!!
-
I see thank you - I was not aware of how this function was hidden.
I noticed that when saving first and then changing the type to linked files remain bigger
than when placing images changing them to linked and saving them.
-
It seems publisher as a DTP app copies / embedded external images via the place command increasing the file size which obviously is not a good idea.
afdinity designer unlike illustrator already cannot link images.
what is the plan for publisher? That is somewhat besides master pages one of the most used / needed function when working on publications.

it’s true!!!!
options to save & cross-platform edit is confusing (sometimes erroneous, since cross-syncing does not work)
Also for the sake of versioning and syncing there should be an option to load and save to iCloud in addition particulaly for those who use the desktop app too.
-
Hi Team,
I find the current save option very limiting - it would be nice to centralized save on file in iCloud and be able to open the file on Mac or iPad without import/export.
This would improve their workflow significantly.

This is great to see looking forward to seeing it "on my iPadPro" hahahaha

Affinity Team I have to say this was an impressive presentation and a lot more impressive app.
Photo for iOS is fantastic. The UI does not use much screen space, gestures work great, just amazing.
Poor Adobe with their toy app.
Really looking forward to Designer too for iOS. Then this is complete!
-
so useful when you work with different font sizes etc and want to maintain an overall consistent baseline

Can Affinity Designer not snap the node handle to a vertical / horizontal 45 alignment or snap it to other nodes?

Hi CoryT87,
We will be creating Designer for iPad :)

This is amazing!

We already have a contour tool in the back-end, and it's interactive - but it's just not finished properly at the moment... expect one to arrive one day soon!
You post was on "Posted 12 October 2014 - 07:22 PM" we have now 26 March 2017.
Any news on a standard tool to have?
-
-
Is that right that Affinity does not offer opacity control via Wacom tablet pen pressure?
-
Doesn't 'Edit > Copy' on the original object followed by 'Edit > Paste Style' on the new object already do this? :unsure:
Yes and now - you make a copy of a style.
But sometimes You just want to copy something from an object rather - or then test a different object, or another one and and and
The copy paste in the style panel makes sense when well working with style you will add mainly.
The style eye dropper allows a different fast explorative workflow Affinity currently does not offer - another bummer.
-
Just noticed as well that the vector erase tool is missing. I am stunned at two things.
1. How fast and modern the Affinity products work. This is really refreshing and great.
2. How many basic tools are missing yet more advanced things were included. This is really frustrating.
When I bought the package I was not even thinking about looking for an erase tool because I assumed
that it is simply a common core to have.

4: There isn't one real "curve" in the whole document. Anything round/curved has been turned into faceted sections. (this one actually makes some sense if you're coming from CAD or 3D)
Funky.
Welcome to AutoCAD PDF export crap ...

any chance you have to many snapping options enabled?
works totally fine on my side, just tested in in the latest beta on Mac
I have snap off
selecting some parts and rotating is impossible
selecting a single element and rotating is fine.
Screencast: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byzv_NlyKp_2UmE5ZGxaNGp5Tk0/view
When grouping parts the rotation works nearly instantly.
Screencast: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byzv_NlyKp_2SHBjYUJveDlRNjA/view
It seems Designer is not able to rotate the elements individually all at once and just crumbles.
-
I opened this file in Affinity Designer and was surprised how slow the app is.
When trying to do a selection the mouse cursor just spins for seconds.
Moving or manipulating a path is impossible.
The only way to do something is to zoom in a lot - then the app is fast.
But I locked up Affinity few times needed to force quite it it.
This is a disaster for me right now as it does not allow me to work with some very basic floor plan designs.
Any idea why? Oddly enough normally Affinity is crazy fast - compared to AI.
-
Sort of. DPI does not have much meaning unless you are printing out something (other than to define a default "actual size" for the document). The Affinity Photo - Understanding DPI video tutorial may help explain when DPI is important & when it is not.
DPI has a lot to do even when not printing but delivering PDF documents.
A low res vs a high res image in a PDF will show.

Hi all,
I am new to AD and please have patience with me ... ;-)
I guess this post is not about CSS Shapes, right?
Is there a way in AD to create a non-rectangular, responsive CSS Shape I can export and use in a web page to let text float around or withing the shape?
So, some more visual way as to what is explained here https://sarasoueidan.com/blog/css-shapes/
Thanks a lot and kind regards, Igor
Lol I am out of web design since years and it is a joy to see that CSS can do custom text frames for text float now as well! Glorious!

This is correct and it's not currently possible to specify the DPI when using Rasterize - other users have asked for this feature to be added in the future.
so when the document DPI is set to 600 or 72 the image will be rasterized with 600 or 72, right?
I ask because it sees it is always the same DPI for the rasterized image result.
Align selected path nodes
in Feedback for Affinity Designer V1 on Desktop
Posted
Hi dev team
it is really time for Affinity being able to align selected path nodes
not only along the page edge but also along only the selected path nodes.
This is what affinity does
it is somewhat stunning that this is not yet implemented!
Freehand in the 90s had this !!!
This is what is should do: align align align the selected nodes and not the paper edge only!
