I just can't get whole pixels as padding.


Recommended Posts

I"m using Affinity Designer Desktop on Mac and I was going to use it for Mobile UI Design instead of other more specialised software like Figma. 

But I am having a big problem just trying to do pixel spacing without decimal places. So I want to use the standard vertical padding system of 32px/48px/64px etc. throughout my design but instead when I use my arrow keys or the Y axis field, I still get decimal places added on. Why?

For the record, I have Force Pixel Alignment on, Move by Whole pixels off and I have Snapping off but in does not seem to matter what I choose at all, I can't for the life of me get a 32px gap in the screenshot from the top shape. For the record, the font size is 16px and the line height is 16px. It does this with all items on the page, I just can't get a whole number padding for anything.

(Note I have also tried snapping to a 16px grid and to a 64px grid and that doesn't do whole pixels either).

What can I say, my powers of dotmunication have been kept a secret for far too long and now I have unleashed it into the world. I will be releasing ver .1 in the fifth quarter of the third half of next year.
