This is an old need, since the publisher beta version was released, almost 5 years ago, with 10 pages of comments here on the forum, how long will the affinity team ignore users on this issue? I created this new topic so that the other one does not continue to be forgotten, since it is in the feedback archives of version 1, but it remains a necessity in version 2.

There are many things in Designer v2 that I love over v1, but I think one of the most useful feature to me and perhaps one of the most underrated feature additions is the Drawing Scale feature. I like the check box toggle added to the transform palette, to toggle scale on and off. I find that intuitive. Whether drawing scale is set via document setup or an artboard is set to have scale using the measuring tool and the "Assign Drawing Scale" button, the biggest drawback to this feature that I have found thus far is there is NO ability to export at the set scale...especially in vector formats where the scale would matter. It would be nice to have a toggle, perhaps similar to the toggle that shows up in the transform palette, within the vector options in the export window. So If I am working on a drawing that is say 1in:30ft and I draw a square that is 2in natively (or 60ft in scale). If I were to export that to an EPS file to bring into another applicaiton I could export it at the scale size (60ft square). Or if I don't care about the scale, I could export at the native size. I hope this makes sense. It seems like it should be a simple feature to add that would make the drawing scale feature even more useful. Regards. -
I have many files that are always loaded onto AD on my iPad Pro, and are organized into project folders for each client. Inevitably, many of the files in there are stock photos and other designs. I would love to be able to add a custom image of the client’s logo to the project folder. That would make each project much more recognizable than just relying on the small text stating the project name. Here’s what I’m hoping for: Before: After: Scary Ducky Inc. is (unfortunately) not a real client, btw. Thank you.

First off, I'm loving Affinity Designer 2! Thank you Serif I've recently been working quite a bit with gradients and have some thoughts on improving the feature. As it is right now you have to click on the Fill colour in the context toolbar or Appearance tab to get a more detailed gradient view. There are two issues. 1). The gradient view closes if you click outside of the view. 2). The gradient view is very small (especially the colour range) and it's impossible picking a specific node in the range if you have many. A solution to this would be to have a seperate Gradient tab (just like Colour/Swatches/Strokes/etc). This would allow for a clearer and larger view of all the gradient settings. It would even be great if each node could be selected from a list allowing for more control over how the gradient looks. Just my thoughts

Hi, Convert to Art Text and Convert to Frame Text are present and very useful in Designer and Publisher. Please can they be added to Photo, as it's basically the same text engine, surely, but the lack of it is a real pain! Literally couldn't believe it wasn't there since its in the other two. Thanks, Chris -
would be nice to have an option to place newly created copy of an object always on top no matter if the object was created by copy+paste or by modified mouse drag as for now new copy is created over the source of course i'm not against the existing option i just have never get it as useful so this could be driven by settings checkbox -
Would Be Nice To Have an ability to drag canva while still dragging objects seq: - user selects and grabs an object (LMB is held) - each time user press MMB (mouse wheel) AFDE allows to drag a canvas while still holding the object - when user releases MMB then canva is in a new position and user still holds the object and can drag it over new canva position this would be perfectly aligned with already implemented feature of zooming or scrolling with mouse wheel while still dragging the object

hi it Would Be Nice To Have an option to make a copy of currently dragged objects on RMB seq: - user selects an object and drags it with a mouse (LMB is held or course) - each time when user clicks RMB (while still holding LMB) then AFDE makes a copy of dragged objects and drops in in-place this gives the ability to make objects without any additional keys or menu actions

I would like to move this thread to feature requests. Thank you. -
As mentioned in several Forum Posts already, Copy and Pasting Parts of Curve Nodes (selections of a single or several nodes of a larger curve) is not possible. This would make many workflows more intuitve and faster in my opinon. Here are some post discussing the issue: -
Hi, Could we get the copy command added to macros? E.G. copy would fill the clipboard and paste would read from the clipboard as opposed to storing the data in the macro ( which is the current behaviour). This has already been requested for affinity 1. Cheers. -
Hi, I've checked around the forum and I've seen this question come up before, so I'll mention it again. Can we please have the ability to have "Save History with Document" as a default in app preferences. I like to have my history saved with my work so I can backtrack if I don't like something in the future, and often forget to click it before I save. Thanks!- 7 replies

Hi Guys Great job with V2 before I start, the apps feel much more fluid and the UI is a massive improvement! I appreciate that everyone has a missing feature with any software release but I have an issue that is preventing me being able to make the switch to Publisher from InDesign/Quark. I design loads of different stuff for both screen and print, one of these things is packaging. The packaging I design generally uses Pantone colours and in many instances greyscale Tifs that are coloured with a Pantone colour in InDesign, I did the same thing in Quark. Unfortunately Publisher does not support doing this so my IDML imports do not work. A workaround for the issue would be to create a monochrome image, like in Photoshop, but Affinity Photo does not support monotone/duotone images either, so I have hit a bit of a dead end with the suite from a graphic design perspective, please correct me if I am wrong. I currently use the Affinity apps for the web design side of things exclusively and the Adobe apps for print. At some point in the future it would be great to be all in with you guys but unfortunately this particular issue is a sticking point for me and I suspect other designers who create similar packaging stuff. Anyway, please consider this a feature request for either Publisher to have the ability to colour greyscale images with a spot colour, Photo to be able to create monotone/duotone images or both. For the record the Pantone colours are used for 3 reasons on these projects, colour vibrancy, registration (particularly when printing on large format plastic) and cost. The cost of the plates is huge for printing on plastics. Cheers Gary -
Please, add the LAYER layers to the AP. Without it, the new Publisher's embedded files layer turning functionality is a nonsense. Thank you. Accordingly, there is an error in the Photo help file, where you talk about Layer properties (right click on the Layer in the Layers Panel). 🙂 -
Really don't like that layer effects panel has moved and is more cumbersome to access...and takes up more screen real estate. It was very handy and compact in v1 - would like to see the option to move it back to the right-hand panel!

One of the reasons why I bought V2 was the DXF import function. Please add the ability to save a file as a DXF. My bad for assuming it could. I bet I am not the only one. -
The Affinity apps have three different types of buttons of add layers in the layer panel: "Add Pixel Layer" In Photo and Designer "Add Layer" in Designer and Publisher "Group Layers" in Photo The Layer from "Add Layer" in Designer and Publisher is very useful for organizing content and preserving separate selection for items inside of it. While the "Group" is useful for adjusting multiple items together. I know that Photo has Auto-select feature now, but it's better to have both types in the same document. T his is also the same type of organizational layer in Photoshop and other raster software, I don't know why Affinity decided to make Photo different. My workflow in Photo now is almost opening the document first in either Designer or Publisher, pressing "Add Layer" a couple of times and then returning to Photo. If you add "Add Layer" like in the other apps, it'll make organization easier and save me 2 minutes of my life each time I create a new Photo document. The Group Layers can be created by just clicking ctrl+g, or can be left alongside it.

I use the Mesh Warp to extend the background of some images. But there is no option to constraint the handle drag horizontally or vertically like in the perspective warp or most of the other dragging tool. It's much a needed option, especially on image that fit horizontally or vertically only. I don't think this should be a hard one, so please add in the next update.

Nice job on Affinity 2.0. I already purchased all apps. FEATURE REQUEST: It would be nice to see a type of VECTOR ERASER in Affinity Designer 2 that would allow us to quickly erase INTERSECTING LINES. This can dramatically increase productivity with illustrations. See attached video. Thanks!!! I am enjoying 2.0 !!! vector eraser demo.mp4- 13 replies

(request 1)With CNC machines becoming more affordable for many people. The ability to create G-code to realise concepts and designs for manufacturing is becoming more important in many workflows. For example I make drawings for a cnc router, making use of the corner tool in V1 daily ((request 2)kind of wish there is a use last diameter button as I have to set a minimum radius of all internal corners). The industry is massive and I am sure that a path to G-code tool would sell more copy's of the software. Your almost there with the ability to set a scale on a drawing and work with DXF files and the shape joining tools are incredible . If this is something Affinity would look into including, I suggest you start with looking at the slightly broken free plugin available for Inkscape. Or look at the feature rich JSCut website. On a personal note; I absolutely love using "Designer" it's one of the most relaxing drawing experiences I've had on a computer. It's almost perfect for me, but lacking the G-code tools I'm desperately searching for or, at least the ability to export in (request 3)inkscape's version of svg, for import into other path making programs (I'm fed up of using inkscape just to save a document).

Moving tabs/windows using a mouse cursor can become a bit, " too much" and can become a bit difficult to do since the space, in height, is quite small, therefore, it's quite inefficient. Part 1: Moving tabs/windows left or right. If, this does get implemented, it would make my life a quadrillion times easier, as I'm a right handed person and I follow the Left to right system, so I organise my tabs from (current) -> (last). Part 2: Moving tabs/windows to the very left or to the very right. This, however, is gonna save more time, and makes things more efficient for people like me who organises their tabs from (current) -> (last), its gonna make our lives easier ... I have no clues on what to expand upon this. (I may change this post a little bit) -
Feature Request: Ability to distort/skew perspective of curves in Affinity Designer. I drew a rectangle shape, converted it to curves, and duplicated it repeatedly into stripes. I would next like to distort, skew, stretch the perspective. But I don’t see how with the current set of tools. Best I can discern is to grab nodes and randomly pull them where they look close enough. But this is time-intensive and imperfect. I also tried drawing trapezoid shapes, but their controls seem even less precise. I asked in the support board how better to do it, and I was told there is no way (https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/166065-how-to-distortskew-perspective-of-curves-in-affinity-designer/). Thank you.

Hello. I would like to propose a feature that would allow the user to copy and paste raw adjustments to multuiple RAW files from develop persona. I believe currently this is not possible. This feature will make the applying adjustments much faster and easier for many kinds of workflow including timelapse. And additionally an option to export multiple selected RAW images at once. This two features will be a game changer for affinity as a whole. I believe this could be a great direction for the software. This could increase the interest of lot of people considering RAW editing is now considered a standard for most. I hope affinity will place this higher in the priority if possible. Thanks.- 3 replies

Hello I would like to propose a feature that would allow the user to switch between the orginal and the current adjustment of raw image in a faster way. I am aware of the syncing feature but there are times when it just takes a lot of steps to just view the orginal especially if you accidentaly synced the wrong adjustment. This new toggle button feature would just allow a quick way to switch from orginal. In a simple way, this is like a toggle button that disables all the effects/adjustments including the overlays.
