debraspicher Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Is it possible to add a global swatch from your currently selected fill? I have been using dropper to add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 No unfortunately not, it still requires manual selection, even from the swatches burger menu drop down. debraspicher 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

thomaso Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 ... whereas if you want to create a Spot Colour you need to go the long way via the swatches burger menu, because only there you get access to this option (and my name it separately afterwards via right-click): Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
