PeterB. Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 just bought affinity designer and one thing i noticed is that there is only one decimal place shown after the point in the transform panel. and it's rounded up oder down if i enter more than one. there are many situations in which i really need a higher precision (the 1,000,000% zoom is great but doesn't really help if i need an exact numeric value). so can i change the amount of decimal places shown in transform panel somewhere?

Raskolnikov Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 It's a good suggestion, being able to set an exact % of zoom. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB. Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 what i mean is the general ability to type in exact values like 55.213845 mm for x/y positions and width/height... and when that is possible, i think it would be a great enhancement in general ( for coordinates, values, scaling, zoom factor,...) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raskolnikov Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 having so much decimals wouldn't do it too complicated or "full of numbers everwhere"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, if I have two overlapping rectangles, I can position the lower one at 75px and the other at 75.01 px, and if you zoom in you can see their positions are different even though they are both displayed rounded to 75. That said, I agree that making decimal places user-configurable would be a useful feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 A slight twist on this: would it be possible to have an option to *reduce* the number of decimal places on export? eg if you have a document with 3 decimal places, to reduce that to 2? This would save a trip to SVG Optimizer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
