A_B_C Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Unfortunately that’s not possible at the moment … :( https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/12616-afp-tools-constrain-brush-movement-clone-selections-with-option-arrow-keys/ But if you just want to create a straight, but not necessarily leveled line, you can click somewhere, hold shift and click elsewhere … both positions will be connected by a straight brush stroke … :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cekuhnen Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 I see - oh boy Looks to me I have to wait till the software is more mature. This is kinda basic being able to make single straight lines.

Staff MEB Posted August 28, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 28, 2015 Hi cekuhnen, If you're referring to the Brush Tools, that's not possible yet. If you just need to draw a horizontal/vertical/diagonal 45º line, you can do it with the Pen Tool pressing ⇧ (shift).

deemery Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Seriously?!? I can't imagine why anyone would think this is not -critical functionality-. And it strikes me as pretty easy to code. I'd expect to be able to do in Affinity Designer anything I can do in PowerPoint, and this is something I do _all the time_ in PowerPoint graphics. Besides adding this to the top of the missing feature list for the next release, it would be A Good Idea to develop a list of functions available in common (low end) drawing programs that are missing from Affinity Designer. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 31, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 31, 2015 Hello Dave, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) You can create horizontal/vertical/diagonal 45º lines, with the Pen Tool pressing ⇧ (shift). This is not available for the Brush tools only. We are aware that some tools/features are still missing. This is the first version. There's still a lot to add/refine/polish. Please check out Designer and Photo roadmaps for more info on what's coming.

DashingDave Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 in most apps you press shift in A Photo you continue a line ... how can you draw a straight line? Would creating a line using the Pen Tool's Line Mode and then, when the line is selected, choosing a brush type/size work? I was just kinda goofing around getting to know the program and trying to figure out a replacement for Illustrator's Line shape tool (which the Line Mode in AD does, I've now found), and found that I could change the pen stroke to a brush stroke (I think) by choosing either a brush type from the Brushes Studio panel or from the context toolbar (clicking on the stroke size and then clicking on the pen icon in the Style line).

DashingDave Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Although that was all done in Designer. I can't seem to get the same thing to work in Photo.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
