Noaidi Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 So, is there an option to align dashed strokes with corners? I have a box that I want to have transparent with dashed lines, but the dashes do not align with corners and i cannot find an option to turn this on.

firstdefence Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Welcome to the forum @Noaidi No, there is no button like there is in illustrator but if you break the four corners of the box you can adjust the phase of the dashed line to get something like this...

This drives me mad, as it is such a basic need designwise to have a stroke's dashes (or dots) align to the corners of its shape! I hate to say it, but to me it's just either bad code/programming or it's just not caring about what designers need to make good design when this appears to not having been thought about. Seems like you’ve been able to do it in Illustrator and InDesign since the Middle Ages and this feature just has to come to Affinity Designer and Publisher ASAP!

YU 5 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Really need this function... I thought i can use Affinity later and have just tried the trial version today. But this Problem with the Corner ist just disappointing. And actually someone has raised this Problem in the forum before years... Will this function be added soon? I wanna know, is there even a plan on it? I think, only with that can I really decide if I should buy the Designer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Welcome to the forums @YU 5 Serif generally don’t tell us their plans for introducing changes and new functionality, for very reasonable reasons. If you want to know what might be coming in future versions then you can follow the appropriate beta thread: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/32-beta-software-forums/ If something is not in the next beta then it will probably not be in the next retail version.
