  1. The place tool is very powerful for importing multiple images into a document, they can be placed one after the other in the document. This can be good for importing images which can then be added to the asset libraries. It would be very useful if we could have an option to place multiple compatible images directly into the asset library for the purpose of building our own libraries for personal use. Maybe an import images to directly to an asset library option could be included. Then we would have a reserve graphics library similar to the ones that were available in Pageplus.

  3. Hello, I’m working on a large illustration to be printed 3 x 4 meters. The overall lay-out will contain 100 to 150 illustrations. Some medium complex (say character-design and props) and some more basic. I work in the desktop and iPad apps. Where possible I will use symbols for repeated use and keeping the files size down. Keeping the file size down, will possibly be the challenge. It seems that Designer is doing this well. My compliments for that. I tried this in Illustrator, but whatever optimizing I try, the file size is just too large and the performance is sluggish. I noticed one thing I just want to check before proceeding. When I import a batch of illustrations (examples uploaded) through the assets panel, the file size seems to be quite small. When I drag 16 of such illustrations (turned into assets) onto the canvas, it seems to only take up a few mb. But when I look at the original files I created them in, they should amount to around 10 or 15 mb. Could you please explain how this works? And will turning 150 illustrations into assets cause any performance issues? The illustrations/assets will be vector only, no effects or transparency an a few gradients. Thanks in advance

  5. Here is a collection of assets created from the material design sticker sheet obtained here: https://material.google.com/resources/sticker-sheets-icons.html Could use a little more work, but I've added constraints to the lists, UI bars, and tabs. Most of the shadows are currently bitmaps. I had issues with some text boxes becoming the wrong size when the group was turned into an asset, so artistic text is used in some places where a text frame would be more appropriate. I couldn't find a license anywhere for the sticker sheet, so feel free to modify and share or use however you want, however, please don't redistribute as an asset pack while charging a price (sharing for free is fine). If you want to share any changes/improvements, I'd appreciate it if you posted them to this thread. An example I quickly made with some of the assets is below. material_assets.zip
  6. I have created caption boxes with a specific paragraph style (Caption) which is also a style in the document. But when the asset is added to the document it forms a new paragraph style (Caption 1) and every time the Caption box asset is added thereafter it keeps adding a new style so that in the end I get a long list of new styles (Caption 1, Caption 2, Caption 3 etc) Is there any way around this?
  7. Here are some arrow assets for AD to share, you can color those (or apply a gradient) of course differently to your likings. - [Note: that those who show up two colored (b&w) in the palette, are mostly grouped together shapes and that you may have to ungroup those in order to alter their default assigned B&W colors.] The compressed assets file ... var_bw_arrows.zip

  9. Hello, my name is Sascha. My company has over 20 licenses from Affinity Designer. We have create a deployment over the Microsoft Configuration Manager (SCCM), and installed it on a few devices. Now i got a questions about assets. I can import assets at every device manually, but how i can deploy ? I do not found a folder where the assets are saved. Do you have a instruction for me? We use Microsoft Windows 10 Workstation. greetings Sascha Thomas
  10. I'm using a Stream Deck and I'd love to have the ability to add an asset. The assets I've got are very hard to see on the pallet and it's often a pain finding them. Is there a way to have my StreamDeck at least allow me to add the assets as 1,2,3 or, ideally, with text of what they are.
  11. I'm an AP newbie & Photoshop defector. I'm gradually learning how to set up AP and I've come across something that bugs me and I was wondering if there was a fix for this. I have set up an additional studio asset panel on the left of the screen but, if I click on a drop down menu to select a font, for example,, it is hidden behind the studio asset panel which is really infuriating. Does anyone know of a simple way to overcome this please? Thanks
  12. I created some assets in Affinity Designer. I exported these from Designer, saved to disk, and imported the assets file into Publisher. When I try to use/drag an asset in Publisher, Publisher immediately force crashes. I am using both Affinity Designer and Publisher 1.9 on Apple Silicon (M1). If I switch to the Designer persona, it still crashes when trying to use/drag an asset. However, if I open the file in Designer, Designer does not crash. If I then try to open the same file in Publisher, Publisher immediately crashes and does not open (!!!). Update/fix: I think I figured it out. My assets included artboards (first imported to the asset pane as part of a category and then exported as an assets file). Knowing that Publisher doesn't support artboards, I created a test assets file consisting only of regular Affinity objects--not artboards--such as grouped items. These imported just fine into Publisher without issue. It seems to me that Publisher is trying (and obviously failing) to import an artboard without properly handling that inability, thus resulting in a crash.
  13. When grouping objects and converting them into an Asset, the text of a text box is shrunk when the Asset is placed on a new page. Furthermore it is not possible to place the Asset in the document from which it came. The Asset vanishes from the cursor when dragging the Asset from the Asset panel to the canvas. The file was an idml file. test_in_asset_shrunk.mp4 disappearing_placing_cursor.mp4
  14. Hi, Can someone help me please. Designer crashed on me earlier when I was dragging one of my own assets from my own asset category. Now all the Assets I have imported have disappeared from the panel. Thats not a problem as all of those I have downloaded I can just re-import. However, the problem is with the assetts that I have created. Where is that file stored so I can import them back into Designer?
  15. Greetings Affinity team. I have the latest update for Affinity Designer installed and I'm having some issues with it. First: Affinity has slow start-up times especially when the Asset Panel has Assets loaded or an Asset file open If I remove all Assets from the Asset panel start-up times are blazing fast. Second: If I organize my objects in an Asset File and export the Asset file to my hard drive, it fails to reimport and give an error. The export process also affects the size of the Asset File (eg: from 5GB to 200MB drop in size) which makes it impossible to reimport again. Third: If I close Affinity Designer sometimes when I relaunch Designer the Assets Panel will be empty and I have to reimport the Assets from my hard drive again. Hopefully this is a bug and not an isolated issue cos of my specs or something 🙂🙂
  16. Hi there, I have just purchased Affinity Designer - looking to hopefully move from Illustrator (while I love it, I don't want to pay for the rest of my life life lol). So far, I'm quite happy! I opened an artboard I designed for a client's website wireframe in Illustrator, and was able to work on the document, edit, and add new things... so far so good! One thing I will miss is Adobe Library... where I have imported all my client's logos, colours, design assets etc.. does Affinity offer a similar library type thing where I can "drag" assets into a library? Any tutorials on this (if available). Is this the Assets area? My next request... I'm looking for any assets related to web design that I can download... GUI assets, wireframe samples, icons, anything related to designing a website... I saw one post, but that offer expired... Does anyone have anything? I did find an icon pack but it's hard to search all the posts lol ... even if they are not free, I'm still interested! Anything to make my life easier. Thanks, and I'm glad to join this community!

  17. When I first started I was apparently trying to make everything an asset, and now I hardly use the feature because of it. I'd honestly be cool nuking the whole thing if theres a file to delete somewhere in my computer.
  18. I work a lot with documets containing symbols. I have a master document which I copy and work with that. Never had any issue with my workflow. Now, with the update, when I drag an asset to the workspace, it simply reacts different in that way that it does not stay put when I place it where it should be. With a lots of tries I found that, as long as I keep it selected to place, the size of the asset starts to decrease horizontal and increase vertical. You see it on as no. 1 on the attachment. If I kind of "throw" it onto the workspace of the document (depending how fast I release the mouse button) it looks like no. 2 If I place the asset outside an artboard, it behaves normal and I can manipulate it to my needs. If it is a new document or one without symbols the use of the assets is normal. No distortion. I attached a screenshot file and a sample doc where I deleted all information which would share my bread and butter. But the error can still be recreated from my side. Any help is greatly appreciated. Are you using the latest release version? - Yes 1.9.1.979 - the one from this last Thursday (here's how to check) Can you reproduce it? Yes, constantly. (if you cannot then we may struggle to also, making it even harder to fix) Does it happen for a new document? If not do you have a document you can share that shows the problem? Hm, not with a plain document. See my intro If you cannot provide a sample document then please give an accurate description of the problem for example it should include most of the following: What is your operating system and version (Windows 10, OSX Mojave, iOS 12 etc)? - Windows 10pro - 64bit What happened for you (and what you expected to happen) - See my intro Provide a recipe for creating the problem (step-by-step what you did). - See my intro Screenshots (very handy) or a screen capture/video.- Attached Any unusual hardware (like tablets or external monitors or drives that may affect things) or relevant other applications like font managers or display managers. - No, nothing of these Did this same thing used to work and if so have you changed anything recently? (software or hardware) - Yes it worked before this update and no, I have not changed anything to the files. Sample_doc.afdesign
  19. I had a very nasty crash yesterday while I tried to delete an asset category I had created but I did not need. The program froze and I had to force quit the app. After restarting the app ALL asset categories were deleted! This is a very nasty thing, especially if you use assets all the time. Assets seem buggy as whole atm, as things like creating asset categories and renaming them takes a lot of time. I hope you can adress this serious issue soon. I use the latest app store version of Designer on an iMac 2011 with High Sierra installed.

  21. Hello, A can't remember exactly when but I accidentally deleted the assets provided to me in the assets panel. I was just wondering how I could possibly recover these or get them back? Thank you, any support would be deeply appreciated! Luke
  22. I'm having really slow redraw on my library of my most often used assets, which I've used since the first version of Designer, and added to over the years, and it always been taken for granted that it just works, but now seems to be broken and is really slow to update when scrolling and has bombed Publisher around five times since testing 1.9.0 commercial release. I did report it below but had no response so thought the best option was to make a proper bug report detailing the assets problem alone In the above link there's a couple of crash reports I realise that some users are having slowdowns when the Paragraph panel is open so I closed all my text panels to make a screen vid grab (below) which shows how slow it is, although, the grab doesn't seem to capture the beachball - also Affinity managed to survive in the vid grab without bombing, I'm guessing if I do the same routine as in the vid another few times it will bomb. Is this common with the 1.9.0 release? as it's working great in both 1.8.6 and the last 1.9.0 beta Screen_Recording_2021-02-11_at_09_30_51.mov
  23. I just installed Affinity Publisher 1.9.0.932 and is working fine. But I do not see at all the assets that come with the software. In Assets, all I see is a blank screen . New PC build with Windows 10 Pro, 32 Gb Ram and Intel i5 9600K processor. Very fast machine,. Please help. Thanks
  24. Hi there, i search for a tool / asset or so program for Affinity Designer, to make easily Mandalas and / or Patterns... It can be cost a little bit, no problem, so i search on the website "Creative Market" but i am not sure, what the best or if that is what i need. Can you recommend some tool for me? Best regards. Info: I have the Windows 10 Version (Desktop Program)
  25. I've had a look and couldn't find this anywhere, so apologies if this is a duplicate post but I notice that you have default iOS assets in Affinity Designer, but I couldn't find any Android ones. I've looked high and low and can't find anything similar on the web (can anyone point me to any?) so it'd be really good to have these in there. I'm sure I can't be the only person trying to design for Android and facing the situation of having to do everything from scratch! Thank you! M
