Charbr0 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hey experienced users, Is there a possibility to scale distances ? e.g. I want to draw a line of 5m on a A4 size document ? and while I'm asking: is it possible to have measuring lines on the drawing? e.g. for that line of 5m, drawed at scale 1/250 (20cm) but the measuring line would indicate 5m ? Thx Karel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use the Transform Studio to manually set the length of a curve, as shown here - 1 hour ago, Charbr0 said: is it possible to have measuring lines on the drawing? e.g. for that line of 5m, drawed at scale 1/250 (20cm) but the measuring line would indicate 5m ? Unfortunately there's no such option in Affinity currently, although this has been requested previously on our forums and is something we may add in a future update!

Charbr0 Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 Thx I'm progressing but I've still problems with measuring line elements in a figure. Now I use an extra layer with elements that I can measure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
