Hi Serif 🙂 I use duplicate quite a lot in my daily work, but not in a way that power duplicate is helpful other than in specific cases. In the big picture clearly as exceptions. Therefore Designer surprises me negatively when duplicates are transformed in terms of form and placement. Quite annoying on my iPad Pro when the duplicate ends up outside the area I'm working on! First of all: it should be disableable, and here I mean it should be opt-in when you need to use it. Imagine your customers who don't visit the forum or help and have no idea what's going on. And now that I look at the feature, it must have taken its current form more as a first-generation hack from Designer's early days rather than being a finished implementation. Now, when Designer celebrates its 10th birthday in a few years, I'm thinking that this first banal version of repeat is ready to be significantly improved. So I hope Serif will think the time is ripe very soon to extend it into a real repeater, which I don't think will challenge an experienced developer too much, of course with support for the legacy hack for those who want it. Besides being the professional and common way, it is (especially with preview) quite more intuitive, flexible, predictable and usable for serious and creative work. -
In Illustrator, I used to set my transform reduction percentage to 99% and then repeat the action until I got something precisely the size my eyes, not my head, wanted. If I went one "repeat" too far, I'd then just undo it and I was done. I hadn't realized how often I used that "repeat last action" shortcut. Is there an equivalent in Affinity Designer? I need it bad... -
Create a vinyl record from scratch. Vinyl is back so I created an Affinity Photo tutorial on how to create a vinyl record from scratch. I hope you find it useful. https://youtu.be/XtPZruxQnaI -
How do I repeat a bitmap(fill) on a pixel layer? Bitmap repeats on the vector layer but not on a pixel layer. -
Please add an option to repeat bitmap on a pixel layer as well.

Hi there! I love designing with repeating patterns. Now I found a good workflow to design and apply repeating patterns in AD. I recorded a tutorial that shows you how to design them, build a style library and apply patterns. They blend nicely with color fills using blend modes. The pattern and the color fill are in one shape, so no duplicates! --> https://vimeo.com/443692483 If you prefer the short explanation: I design vector patterns in a separate document using symbols to get the tiling right, export as bitmaps, use bitmap fills to build up a Style Library and apply those in drawings on iPad and desktop. -
Hello, Could anyone from the Serif team explain me, what does the repeat thing do in the bitmap section? I already watched tutorial about bitmaps, but this part isn't explained, and when I select repeat or zero, nothing happens, unlike of wrap and mirror. Is there a some bug or am I missing something? Best Regards -
Has anyone else have this problem? 1.8 seemed to fix my gray box problem in my intensity brushes but now the repeat option won't work? I click it shows it's selected but the image doesn't repeat. Anyone know a fix for this? I'm on Windows 10 updated, home version. Working in CMYK for home printing. -
Hi, I want to make a repeating pattern and saw a Photoshop tutorial ( https://binged.it/2tZ6SDb ) where they used an offset function to do this. I've tried searching for something similar in Affinity Designer but cannot seem to find an equivalent? Is there something I've missed? istring -
Good afternoon people; I believe that, like me, everyone who makes patterns in Affinity uses the method to create Symbols > transform into Assets. At first I found it strange, but nowadays I confess that I prefer this than other software methods, especially by the easy editing of the Symbols tool. My only problem would be this: when it comes to replicating this as Assets, sometimes it's kind of annoying. I would suggest to the Affinity Group a Frame Tool option, similar to that of the Text Tool to facilitate the creation of Patterns. Something like that: the user selects his Asset as an individual object or a Frame; if the user chooses as a Frame, it selects the applied area and, as a result, the Tool replicates as many times as necessary to the appropriate size within the Frame Area. I made this horrible drawing/print to demonstrate, using the Frame Text to show something like I was thinking. Thanks guys, you're incredible. -
Hello, I can't find it so I assume I am the first to request it but it would be nice to have an effect added to the Fx list "pattern overlay": which would work pretty much like a colour or gradient overlay. For the moment I am using the Fill tool set to "bitmap", and import a pattern I have made myself (they are either distressed texture patterns - seamless - that I create in photoshop) or halftone patterns. I am sure there would be plenty of uses (that's one of the tools I am using most in photoshop when I am doing mock-ups) The fill tool options are a bit short for me, as I can't tweak the scale precisely (with numbers in %) I would also add the possibility to change the guides colours (like the grids) but I am not sure it's a missing feature or if it's just me who can't find it Many thanks!

Hey everyone! I am working a lot on patterns (literally hundreds) that I want to repeat on both x and y later on. For doing so, it would be very useful to be able to offset and repeat (wrap) curves and groups using Affine and being able to access Affine in Designer. Right now, it only seems accessible in Photo and trying to Affine curves or groups will rasterize them. Best wishes, Shu

I've been trying to get to grips with the basics of Affinity Designer. One thing I can't find - (does it exist?) - is the ability to replicate an object one or more times to form a spaced out sequence separated by a fixed distance. For example, I might want to create a square 1 cm wide and then copy it and move the copy to the right 1.5 cm to leave a 0.5 cm gap between the two squares. Then I might want to repeat this process in the horizontal direction to produce 10 squares in a row. After that I might want to replicate the whole row of squares and copy it down 2.5 cm and shift it 0.2 cm to the right. Finally I might want to replicate the two lines of squares multiple times down the work space. I have used other graphic or drawing tools which allow this, and make it very quick and easy to produce such organised structures of objects, but so far after watching several beginner level tutorials and looking in the AD book I've not found a feature like this in AD. If it's possible I'd like to know how to do it, and if it's not possible (yet) I'd like to suggest this as a feature request. What would also be very nice would be the ability to lay out the objects in a pattern as I've suggested, but then to be able to change the base object, So one could then obtain a pattern of circles, a pattern of gingerbread men etc. Maybe that's going too far, but it's just a suggestion. In programming terms it would be like using a higher order function fo space out the objects, and then being able to specify the object to be worked on by the higher order function. -
I it would be great to have a parametric replicator over or within shape or along shape using any layer as source. we would be able to change size and color of the included element by random or progressive scale etc.... Exemple of use Present Paper... or massive banners. Let me know if you have any easy way to achieve this.- 8 replies

A step and repeat option similar to Illustrators Cmd+D is something I rely on greatly and I 'm really lacking in Affinity Designer.

Is very useful the possibility with shortcup (in corel CTRL+R) to repeat last action, fill, move and more.

Hi, is there a tool in AD to fade, repeat two Objects? In Corel German, the tool is called "Ăśberblendung" -
Love to be able to copy single nodes, line segments, or a selection of nodes – including the exact geometry of any curve handles – and then paste it/them into the front node an open curve. With the option of pasting its mirror version – vertical, horizontal, or both. It is very hard to manually make a curve exactly match another one. Repeatability is crucial for precise work. Snapping control handles (when they arrive) will sure help, but copy/paste of any of a curve's (or shape's) selected bits would be supremo! You can easily copy an entire curve/shape, but not parts of one. You can do the former, delete what you don't need, and then attach the bits you need; but that's a long way round. I apologize if you've heard any or all of this before (and please correct me if any of this is already possible). Oh, and as Sven Kalkschmidt already suggested, the functionality of the following Illustrator plugin looks amazingly useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpOaC5XGyZU Thanks for your attention, and keep up the awesome programming, Serif/Affinity!- 4 replies

Hi This is my first questions as a new Affinity user. I try to transform and duplicate and let Affinity do the job for me. I will set a "start figure" and a "end figure". Then I try to find a way to tell Affinity how many steps the transformation will be in. But I can´t find it. Hope you understand what I try to explain. Please see my document for an example. Kind regards, Roger Untitled.afdesign -
Hello, tout d'abord, je suis désolé pour l'utilisation de ma langue maternelle, mais mon niveau en anglais, ne me permet pas de vous répondre, vous pouvez toutefois y répondre en anglais sans problème. Voilà , l'application m'intéresse fortement pour mes études, mais je ne trouve pas une fonction vraiment très pratique. Ce serait quelque chose qui ressemble au fameux "Smart Copy" d'iDraw ou "Blend Tool" d'illustrator, c'est un outil permettant de répéter une forme de façon à créer des compteurs, par exemple. Affinity Designer possède t-il déjà une telle fonction ? Ou celle-ci est-elle déjà dans les cartons ? Cordialement
