I do a lot of linear and I often experiment with different stroke widths. I'd like to be able to edit the stroke width of multiple objects at one time. The lack of this feature in AD has always been surprising to me, since all graphic design apps I've used have something similar. To briefly describe the feature, I'd like to be able to choose a few objects and set the stroke width of all of them to 4px, regardless of their previous stroke widths or lack thereof. I think this will be useful in a wide array of scenarios.

i feel that pressure stroke effect should for brush and pencil tool also

Hi, I tried export AD file to PDF and stroke width of curves was changed. I attach the file to replicate it. I do not know what causes :( When I try open this file in public version AD, it looks completely different. Curve to PDF error.afdesign Curve to PDF error.pdf -
Here's something to consider to enhance UX on Affinity products: Current situation: Currently all objects have 2 ways to be rotated: the blue handle at the top of the bounding box via hovering near a corner handle. Currently there exists no way to adjust a shapes Stroke attributes directly on the object itself. Idea: Remove the rotation functionality, since it is redundant, and turn the top handle into a UI control for setting Stroke weight, or perhaps a pop-up for any number of Stroke or even Shape attributes, DIRECTLY on the canvas object. Benefit: Working directly on the object and not having to rely on palettes makes the workflow much smoother and quicker, specially on mobile devices with smaller screens, where physical size is still a limiting factor, as well as for editing while in full screen, hidden studio palette mode. As professional creative apps transition into a multi-touch and stylus enabled operating systems (iPad Pro, ahem), users will be expecting to interact with objects directly on screen, not via abstract palettes. This setup will be friendly for Pencil input. However, this same directness of on-canvas edibility while on limited screen real estate is of benefit on current laptop workflows as well with traditional mouse and Wacom0style input as well. Thanks for your consideration.

When is this issue going to be looked at again? I believe it was posted before by one of the devs that this was an easy fix but it seems to still be a "bug". See attached. -
Hey, something i'm terribly missing (and that I use a lot in Illustrator) is the expand stroke function. This lets you convert a stroke of any object into a fill. Sometimes this handy in logo's (because sometimes the strokes are not scaled proportionally and your logo is ruined when scaling). thanks! benjamin

I want to stroke the bottom part of a curve. Not the entire curve. Is it possible to pick nodes and stroke between them? I would use this for eye lids and lips on adjustable parts for a cartoon figure. Other things too as they come up. Thanks.

Hi all, How can make a path have variable stroke thickness in Affinity Designer? Thanks -
I frequently open these palettes to edit the stroke profile while working, and the palettes end up covering what I'm working on. Using spacebar to pan the canvas to a new position — without dismissing the palettes — would be super helpful. Side note bug report: with both of these palettes open (the stroke editor and the stroke profile editor), if you command-tab to another application, those palettes do not close, but remain visible on top of the new application. -
The attached drawing is part of a large drawing. It's large enough that it won't fit on my screen at 100% zoom. In this portion of the drawing there are several shapes with a fill and a stroke. Both are shades of gray. The shapes are set to fit snugly against each other. Then the stroke is centered. So the strokes overlap. There is a red background. As I zoom out the strokes turn transparent. It doesn't seem to matter if the stroke is inside, outside or centered. The color of the stroke makes little difference. How can I stop the strokes from turning transparent when zoomed to 25% or less? Thank you. Test30.afdesign -
Here is something odd, I just exported a file to pdf and the strokes on a title, made my strokes mitered! I didn't change anything. Please let me know if I need to change something.
-
I'm not sure this is bug or by design, It's happened even if I input max miter. Can't I do outside sharp stroke? Attached file below

Very keen to see calligraphic brushes implemented in Affinity Designer! I know this is on the current feature request list, but just giving it a vote, and hoping it will make the next version. I do like the Illustrator implementation, where I can modify the brush by rotating the elliptical stroke profile, and view the calligraphic effect on the stroke live. At the moment, I need to do this in Illustrator, then expand the outline and copy / paste, export / import / open in Designer, and this process invariably makes a bit of a mess of it by adding numerous bezier points. I have experimented with the "Pressure" option in Designer's Stroke palette, but this obviously is not intended to be the same functionality. Thanks!

In Photoshop, if I sketch a rectangle (or any other shape, or use the Pen tool to create one) then give it a fill and a stroke, if I then choose Layer > Layer Style > Color Overylay, it affects only the FILL not the STROKE. But if I do the same in Affinity Photo (AP), the Color Overlay affects the FILL and the STROKE. It would be very useful if a new feature could be added to AP's Layer Effects dialog such that I can choose if the effect will work on the FILL or the STROKE or BOTH. Thanks.

Please let me easily transform any vector object. With a transform tool I could set the perspective right, and distort groups and other objects. For instance: I have a group of rectangles, and I want to transform and distort this group as if it was a line. I have a rectangle and I want to put it in perspective, or make a 3D effect. It would be great either have a transform tool similar to photoshop and the ability to select for instance the outer corners of a rectangle and option drag them towards the middle in the same amount. I definitely need a line tool. I want to edit every single bit of a line. I the ability to make a dashed or a dotted line. Of course I could use cmd-j, but I want it as a line so I can distort it. Also I want dashed lines for rectangles, etc. It would be great to turn a group of objects into a line, like when you have a couple of objects and you want to put them on a path and behave like they were a line.

Am I missing some way to do this without creating separate arrow head objects? If not would be a simple feature to pop in the todo list? (after big canvas, artboards!) -
I have created a vector of an arm that has a black line stroke around it, but I want to have just the 2 long parallel sides to have lines not the ends. How do I break the surrounding lines to resolve this issue or is there another option? Guy -
Stroke width exports incorrectly.
Malcolm posted a topic in [ARCHIVE] Designer beta on macOS threads
Bit of an emergency here! I have some files imported form Illustrator which I'm now doing additional work on. It seems for whatever reason that the stroke weighting isn't exporting correctly. This happens in 1.2.1 and the latest beta. 25410 (see the attached image, screen grab from AD then exported asset). I can only think it's because the file originally came from illustrator, if I create a new document, stroke width exports correctly. I can send the file if need be? Cheers, Mal

Hello everybody, I've created this double bill poster of Laurel & Hardy. This year marks the 125 years anniversary of Stan Laurel's birthday. These two movies are coming to the big screen in England, Scotland and Ireland. Using my sketch as a guide I created this poster completely in AD. This is my first larger artwork in AD. The first release of AD was a bit too unstable to me, but much has improved since the update. So, I'm very pleased working with this piece of software. You can follow me on twitter: @artbyjuhl Best, Soren

Sorry guys, seems I've found another bug. I'm trying to export a slice of an image that has a 13 pt stroke @1x and @2x resolutions, and it seems for both resolutions it's almost halving the stroke dimensions on output. This happens even when doing just a @1x export.

Hello, How about a checkbox or something that quickly applies the same color to the stroke that the currently filled object is using and vice versa? I know you can just manually do it or drag and drop the colors on each other from the palette (like Illustrator can), but a button/checkbox or whatever would be so much faster for comp work, etc. However, I'd imagine if something like this were to be implemented, maybe other attributes that strokes can also share with fills (gradients?) can be included (or excluded for that matter). Thank you, as usual I anticipate the next build(s), coming along great! -
I have voiced my concern about stroke on text with the inside of characters and numbers not producing the uniform contour of the interiors, they are still "cut" into triangles when used at certain stroke widths. (see attached B letter). I can obviously go thicker or thinner to make this disappear but I think it just needs to be fixed. Please.

Is an appearance "function" be available that allows for multiple strokes, fills, be added to an object? or am I missing this feature somewhere? Thanks

Hi there, I am working on a map project. I have drawn the map so far and I was wondering, whether you could open the stroke on the outside (see the screenshots), to illustrate streets and make it clear, which streets are ending and which are going further. In my screenshots, you can see, that I have an other shape on top to cover the black stroke underneath. This is not precise and would require a tremendous amount of work to cover all open streets on my map. I was wondering, since there is no slice tool yet, whether you could solve this problem differently, maybe with several layers, blend modes, combine and subtract modes. You can see in the last screenshot the selected shape which I use as an overlay.

Hello all, I've found the pressure profile feature in AD, but for some reason the feature doesn't allow for linear changes between values, except in profiles that have only a start and end point. Additionally, it doesn't allow the width of each side of a stroke to be changed independently of the other. Alas, this means that what might be boiled down to simple strokes (eyelashes or lips, for instance) must be formed of curves. Also alas, this means that editing such shapes must necessarily be more convoluted and less precise, especially because the profile must be modified in a separate editor, away from the artwork, which adds guesswork, and again more time and effort, into the equation. So I would like to propose a more flexible pressure/width profile feature, which allows pressure profiles to be edited directly on strokes, to allow curves and corner points — now that I think about it, a vector brush system would do as well. So I'm putting these forward: a more versatile stroke width feature, and vector brushes. Thanks, —Russ Johnson Murfreesboro, TN
