Layer 1 by default

[Affitoom]

 

I think it would be good if when we started to draw our designs, each figure was housed from the beginning within a layer, to start each project in a more orderly way. And I think they could save us the trouble of creating layer 1 ourselves.

I think Illustrator does it like this, in the layers panel every new document has always "Layer 1" created by default and then all the shapes that are drawn are stored within that layer.

*Also in every "Artboard" created, I think its "Layer 1" should be created automatically.

Each object is already placed on its own layer by default. We don’t always need an organizational layer, and when we do it’s easy to create one. As for artboards, they’re already a special kind of layer, so why would you want to complicate the structure of your documents by creating an extra layer for the content?

Because this is your multiple request - why don't you use an application that suits you perfectly, and try to redesign another application to make it an exact copy of it?

Wow! Sorry 😧

Sorry to ask for a feature that I find useful. I thought that is the objective of this space (ask for features and give feedback to improve the software). I do not expect my ideas to be accepted by everyone as if they were perfect, I only share them in the hope that some will be considered to be integrated into the application.

On the other hand, I am not interested in making Affinity Designer a copy of Adobe Illustrator or other software, I only refer to other software to support the idea I am trying to communicate.

I'm really sorry to have bothered you.

Well that's your criteria, I think it would be good
