GorengKaya Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Hi, The pattern layer functionality added to Affinity Photo 1.9 is very nice. Hopefully this will be added to Designer as well ??? GRAFKOM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbinw Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I can't believe it's still not in there... I work a lot with patterns and the symbols method is not that fun to use and unreliable... PLEASE add a "pattern" making mode to Designer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazmondo77 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Really look forward to getting vector patterns in Designer - the Photo pattern tool is great but need vector Although, I've found a bit of a workaround cheat by using the new data merge layout tool and symbols that may be worth messing around with if you want to produce vector patterns. once it's setup you can save as an asset and just paste into it, I managed to find a use for it anyway, still no substitute for the real deal though: Frozen Death Knight 1 Quote Mac Pro Cheese-grater (Early 2009) 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon 48 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC Ram, Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5, Ugee 19" Graphics Tablet Monitor Triple boot via OCLP 1.2.1 - Mac OS Monterey 12.7.1, Sonoma 14.1.1 and Mojave 10.14.6 Affinity Publisher, Designer and Photo 1.10.5 - 2.2.1 www.bingercreative.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbinw Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Yeah, while I appreciate the effort of the creator, this isn't good enough. A pattern should be infinite and have no hard edges.. This method (is also the method I use) gives you hard edges and when placing something on it, it will cut off, not continuing correctly to the other square (unless you move half to right edge and other half to left edge and so on..). Just add a plain pattern maker and everybody will be happy. Drooled when I saw how easy and fun is the new Pattern mode in Illustrator.. How easily they moved objects, not having to worry about edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazmondo77 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I did manage to use a workaround similar to above on a few illustration jobs, but it involved messing around with precise placement in the corners I've included the pattern featured which I have saved as assets which is fully editable with colour and stroke width and all that - I've also created some halftones in the same manor which I know will come in handy on some up and coming T-shirt jobs Editable repeating vector fill.afpub Quote Mac Pro Cheese-grater (Early 2009) 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon 48 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC Ram, Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5, Ugee 19" Graphics Tablet Monitor Triple boot via OCLP 1.2.1 - Mac OS Monterey 12.7.1, Sonoma 14.1.1 and Mojave 10.14.6 Affinity Publisher, Designer and Photo 1.10.5 - 2.2.1 www.bingercreative.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
