Affinity needs to 2 more things to become #1

[rodsal23]

Animation and Vector ERASER like the one with clip studio is all you need to become #1 guys.

Well, I think there's more to come before Affinity becomes #1. I wouldn't put "animation" first here. There are many more important "building sites" for AD to become a full featured vector software. Vector Eraser is one of them.

We need a Vector Eraser and we need vector cutting features: at least a Knife Tool, but preferably the ability to cut any path with any other path. We also need a Blend Tool, a Roughening/Smoothing Tool and a Perspective Tool.

Animation features are way down the priority list.

Make that better a vector freely distortion/warp tool instead!

Or ‘as well’! I was going to mention Mesh Warp, but I felt that my list was already becoming a bit too long. I’d really like to see an Envelope Tool and a Dimension Tool, and more flexible handling of Artistic Text (e.g. rotation of individual characters without having to convert to curves).

Well, more like... all of this.

Best regards!

Well, I agree that there are still some tools and features that one would like to see in AD. You can see it in the forum in heaps.

But there are also features that already exist in AD, but do not yet work properly or even should be improved.

Nevertheless, I would not be averse if there would be a vector eraser and a cutting tool. In addition, there should also be a way that you can choose whether objects that you crop or erase automatically remain closed or open.

Also creating real vector brushes would be very useful to be able to convert them back to objects later, as I know it from AI and Corel. In addition, they can be scaled lossless and unrestricted, which is not the case with the current vector brushes.

I need a specialized perspective tool that assists actively while adjusting the selection - also need vanishing points etc.

The freely part is more or less the same - minus these features plus warp.

Yes a few of us have been screaming for vector a distortion/warp tool for years, which is prob no1 on my list of features I use practically everyday (Illustrator CS5 and VectorStyler), but a few other less grand omissions that don't get the spotlight would make a massive improvement to getting work: a simplify path tool plus an option to have those pesky 'scale with object' tick boxes for strokes and FX ticked by default could save hours of backtracking - also some way of forcing a global palette - yes the vector eraser in CSP is ace also the stroke width brush is brilliant
