Percentage and blend tool

[David Turpin]

Hello,

 

I am using affinity designer for a few months now, I would like to know if you will introduce a tool to allowed the user to increase or decrease the size of a graphic using percentage?

A blend tool would be great too.

 

Thank you!

Best,

David

Blending like for example this youtube video: blend 2 layers also waiting on it.

Hello @David Turpin and welcome to the forum,

in AD you use the Transform Panel to resize objects by percentages. Here's how:

1. Click on the object or objects you want to resize and make sure the Transform Panel is visible (if not look at 'View > Studio > Transform')
2. Make sure the little chain icon next to width and hight fields is active to lock the aspect ratio
3. Now type into the width field e.g. 150% and hit Enter. This resizes the object to 1 1/2 the size it was before.

I hope this helps for a start.

No, that's more in Photo's wheelhouse IMO. What I think he means is this: Blend Tool

Which along with  something similar to Illustrator's Pattern Brush is something many of us have wanted for quite a while now.

Yes, Pathshaper this is what I mean, a blend between two or more shapes.  thanks. David
