Redraw Problem in Affinity Publisher

[Leon Munz]

Hey I would like to create something inside Affinity Publisher, but I can’t do it. In the video you can see, that it doesn't work... The Twitter support told me, that it's a "redraw" issue and that I should create this post.

Hi @Leon Munz,

Would you be able to attach the documents you used in the video here?

Thanks

Not really related but related to your screenshot

The CPU display changes quite soon when you leave APub and switch the app or mac 'space'. To see it over time you might want to use its history panels, accessible with cmd-3 and cmd-4.

 

@Jon P, different to other apps Affinity prevents here unexpectedly the macOS app's history panels to stay in foreground ("CPU-window... foreground"), otherwise we would see the left green dotted graphs on top of the Affinity UI, without the need to switch the app.

Hi I sent it to you a few days ago... Do you have an answer for me????

Apologies, I was away from work for a short while.

This mainly seems to be a resource issue, the afdesign file contains many, many curves and resizing this as shown in the video is quite an intensive task, so the redrawing artifacts that are visible are due to this.

Can you take a screenshot of your Preferences > Performance tab? The RAM allocation should be near max and if possible it should be using metal, this should help speed things up a bit if they aren't already set.

No worries 😁 I know that it's a complex vector with many curves, but added to this that redraw issue also happens, if I only use the "Boba Fett" and the group with one shape + text...
By the way, thank you for your effort and help!
Here are my settings for Affinity Publisher:

I noticed in your screen grab, you have snapping turned on, If you have lots of vector points in your doc, I'd suggest switching off snapping which usually speeds things up for me -

Worth a shot!
