  1. I wanted to avoid that pictured below when snapping a line to a rectangle with a stroke outline and without having to move the line behind the rectangle. The line snaps to the rectangle's bounding box, not its overall outline. The following workaround seems to do the job: Draw a rectangle with no stroke. Copy it. Select the copy and then select the Contour tool. Adjust the contour radius to suit, say -1mm. Select the original rectangle and change its fill colour. Place the contoured copy on top of the original rectangle and centralise it. Group the two together. It seems that resizing the group always maintains a 1mm gap between the two rectangular shapes. Optional - add to Assets for future use.
  2. Hey all, So ive been using AD for a couple of years on my ipad pro but some reason it takes up a copious amount of storage that doesnt add up. Last time I had this problem, i was told to save my working files on my icloud so that it didnt take up space on the app as on the app it was taking up so much storage. However, despite doing this, its still taking up 26.66GB of storage in documents and data…. I’ve gone through my entire icloud and added up the file sizes of all my affinity designer documents and they only add up to just over 1GB… Does anyone have any idea why this is happening????? Other useful information: - I have a number of fonts installed but the app size is only 1.44gb - Ive offloaded the app and it does nothing.

  5. Hi there. I've owned this software for quite some time, but this is my first post here. I'm importing multiple objects from different files and arranging them in a specific way. They are created to fit together so that there's equal spacing between and around each object (think Mondrian's work). I thought this would be incredibly quick and easy to do, but I'm completely stumped. Here is a simplified representation of what I'm trying to accomplish. For greater clarity I've included only a small number of objects. Normally, the entire page would be completely filled. I need to line up the sides marked with red, keeping the spacing between objects consistent throughout the document--approximation of the final result is shown in the black rectangle. The problem I've encountered is that snapping and measurements features seem to only work on nodes that are on the bounding boxes. There is no way to line up anything with the nodes marked with green. I can't get anything to snap to them. If I create a new object I can use those nodes as the starting point and the cursor will snap to them but, as mentioned, I'm not creating new objects. I will have pages filled with these objects, so using the transform panel would be too time consuming. I've tried every combination of options in the snapping panel but nothing seems to be working. In summary: how do I line up objects with the nodes that are not on the bounding boxes, and how do I measure the distance from an object to the lines converging in such a node?
  6. Hi, It will be a bit long, since I have to touch other, very closely related issues as well. Rhino to Affinity Designer: So I'm a bit lost, at first a seemingly easy excercise: how do I get linework from Rhino/RhinoWIP to Affinity Designer without using a 3rd software? The exported .ai/.eps files won't be read, and .dwg is still out of league. Relevant McNeel Discourse threads: https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/what-export-option-to-use-to-get-rhino-into-affinity-designer/38872/6 https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/exporting-in-eps-ai-format/37015/8 https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/reading-exported-ai-files-in-vector-editors-other-than-illustrator/18092 I've tried the vector PDF as described, but it is extremely messy, not usable. I have no idea, why the curves are joined into one curve: I have to explode them, then I tried joining them like described here, but no success, they remain detached. Here are my questions: Can we expect extended .ai or .eps compatibility, or even better, support for .dwg files? In the meantime, what do you suggest to send linework from Rhino to Designer? Two very closely related topics: 1. DWG/DXF exchange between CAD software and Affinity Designer This is a thread asking for DWG/DXF support, which if I recall, did not happen since then: Please consider increasing attention on this matter, as the latest official reply was from @MEB, over 2,5 years ago. This is a very important feature for many designers (myself is an architect), since most of the time our drawings are not generated in Designer/Illustrator. There are flexible 2D editing and publishing tools (e.g. ARCHICAD), that handle technical drawings quite nice, but not textured drawings, so a more tailored, flexible tool is in dire need. But the (seemingly) lack of interest from the development side is a bit saddening, since involving another tool in the workflow leaves Designer on the shelf - which is pity, since Photo is wonderfully replacing Photoshop. 2. Select same... functionality Other software generated PDFs from e.g. ARCHICAD are better structured, but one needs a lot of time to prepare them for exporting - I'm saying this workflow issue has two sides, but the lack of select same... features are also hurting a lot. (Also, ARCHICAD cannot produce .ai or .eps files, so the common denominator is DWG.) Thread here: This is almost a 3,5 years old request. To summarize: I recognize this is a long standing issue at McNeel as well, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who would appreciate a usable, decent workflow involving Rhino and Designer. (I've read over there at Discourse, that someone asked older .ai support already in the Windows beta threads, but couldn't find anything related.) But from your side, adding support for generic formats, namely DWG/DXF, with layers, and functionality that helps converting technical drawings (Select same) to Affinity Designer files is a must in the long run. I can only speak from my side of course, but the increasing activity in the above linked threads might suggest, that these are features that would be very welcome. Here is a small testing pack, a .3dm (Rhino) that should originate something, that I can create a usable .afdesign file from. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nytg3owlf2rf8eh/AABtbW1dxAkhonOaRwPRI5pVa?dl=0 Thank you!

  8. I see quite a few fellow Affinity users have celebrated National Poetry Day recently. I missed it, because of a drawn-out house move, but I'm beginning to get settled in now. Here's something I wrote earlier in the year, lavishly illustrated by your humble poet. A pangram is a sentence containing all the letters of the alphabet at least once, and when I looked them up I found they had a certain poetical quality; after some modest effort on my part I organised several pangrams into, well, a sort of poem. And then I illustrated it . . .

  15. Hey, I finally finished these halftone brushes for Affinity Designer. Useful for adding texture and depth. https://www.amerkaricdigitalgoods.com/store/19-halftone-brushes I used them on my work too!
  16. First of all: English is not my main language, sorry for mistakes. I am an absolute beginner in this whole topic, so unfortunately im having some problems with exporting a PDF document for printing. My project is a label for a bottle, I created my own design in affinity designer for iPad. The main font with the Name of the product has to be 100% black and set for "overprint". I followed all the steps that I could find online, I tried everything I could, but when I view the exported PDF in Acrobat Reader it tells me that the CMYK on the main Font is "C= 89%, M= 78%, Y= 62% and K= 97%". It should be 0/0/0/100%. Yes, I set a global color, set it to "Oveprinting" and turnt K to 100%, the rest to 0%. The Export format is PDF/X4. No matter what I do while exporting (embed profile yes/no, Font to curves, embed fonts etc., nothing changes). Can anybody help me with this issue? I'm at the end of my knowledge and just can't get this done. Pls help.
  17. Hey friends! I just created this lil pack of 30 halftone assets. Check it out! 30 Halftone Assets
  18. Hi, I have a question about the effects you apply with brushes and such on the pixel persona section. If I create a vector design and then move to the pixel persona to add textures and retouch it using raster brushes, how will the design scale when I import it to PDF, SVG or any other vector formats? I was wondering if the effects I applied with with the raster brushes will pixelate while the vector design underneath will not. Is that a standard practice? I think with Illustrator you don't have that option, so all the designs are full vectorial. Could someone shed some light on this topic? It is something that really confuses me and I don't know if I should use the pixel persona when I am asked for a vector design. Thanks a lot for your help!

  21. Hello there everyone, same problem here. Currently using 1.9.2 and I've tried update with both 1.10.0 and 1.10.1, still no success. Tried the zipping method on %appdata\Affinity\Designer and renaming it into "1.0 old", yet no success either. Does anyone have a clue? Because the 1.9.2 version of Photo starting to lag and I'm getting woried about it. Here's the general spec used: Windows 10 Pro AMD Ryzen 5 3600X Radeon RX550/550 Series Version: 25.20.15025.1002 IsHardware: Yes Supports D3D12 Feature Level 12.0: Yes HardwareID: PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_699F&SUBSYS_E3670000&REV_C7 LUID: 0xB734 Microsoft Basic Render Driver Version: 10.0.19041.546 IsHardware: No Supports D3D12 Feature Level 12.0: Yes HardwareID: PCI\VEN_1414&DEV_008C&SUBSYS_00000000&REV_00 LUID: 0xCCF1

  25. Since latest iPadOS update, Designer does not save files. New files have no thumbnail in the file browser and the app crashes on any save or export. i can open and work on new and old documents but can not save beyond the auto save that the app does when closing the document. See attached video. Latest release version Affinity Designer iPadOS 15 12.9” M1 iPad Pro RPReplay_Final1633411041.mp4
