How can I distort shape 1 to be the same as shape 2 in Affinity Design while keeping it as a vector?

The only option within Designer is to manually move each node. You could shear it first to get you partly there.

Realistically you would need to open it in something like InkScape to do the transform.

Or Vectorstyler although it is now a paid for App.

This was one of the abilities you just expect when firing up Designer for the first time, and lots of users have voiced this over the years. it was a feature planned within the 1 version cycle, but may hopefully be included in version 2?

VectorStyler is a worthy purchase just for this feature alone (I use it a lot) and really quick and fluent, even with complex vector distortions that Illustrator would struggle with - it copy and pastes great back and fourth between Affinity, although the Affinity clipboard has a recent bug where it messes up your colours when pasting in any other (non Affinity) app - once this is fixed and back to normal (hopefully before 1.10 release) it works flawlessly

The lack of these resources end up disrupting our daily lives as a designer. And with that it is necessary to install another application to make up for the lack of resources. I really think it's past time for these features to be added to Affinity.

Unfortunately I will have to appeal to inkscape or another.

Thanks for the personal support!

We are still within version 1, and we have no idea when version 2 is coming. It could still be several years off, as we now know the next release after 1.9.2 (or 1.9.3) should be 1.10.0.

Thats fair enough Walt - It would be great if it comes to version 1, but another 3 months and it will be seven years since release, and my optimism has waned. just glad that VectorStyler is around (although not ideal and buggy at times), now I can hold off with the rants for a while👍
