PaRunk Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hello Affinity Team,I think the function with symmetrical drawing is really great. But unfortunately this is only possible in pixel persona, which I find really a shame. It would be nice if this function were also possible in the designer persona, so that vector objects could also be created symmetrically.Would it be possible to make this function also possible for the designer persona?That would be very helpful, since I create my illustrations mainly from vector elements and only add textures to the objects at the end via pixel persona.

2ddpainter Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hi Would also recommend use Symbols. They are really easy to use. Especially for symmetry You can also mix vector graphics and bitmap graphics (Photos/Drawing) in Symbols. On Youtube there are some Tutorials.

PaRunk Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Using the symbols is not the same as what the symmetry function does.The symmetry function is about drawing one or more objects in mirrored form at the same time.In the pixel persona you can create up to 16 subdivisions in an angle. Then you draw in one of these areas and in parallel the same object is drawn in the same place on the other areas or created in a mirrored position.This saves several work steps, which I could otherwise duplicate, mirror and rotate several times.

I know what you mean and understand you. It is more Forework do to. It just doesn't bother me that much. I like that i can move symbols freely around and make my own symmetries. greetings 2ddpainter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uo2i3u4o230948i Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Agree so much to this. It's a bit of a pain to switch to pixel persona just for this feature, and symbols add more complexity and time to symmetry than a simple activity, especially when you need more than two way symmetry.
