ilium007 Posted November 24, 2021 Posted November 24, 2021 I am trying to create an A4 5mm dot grid in Affinity Designer. I can do it in Inkscape on the Mac but their latest versions are almost unusable on OSX so I am looking at the Designer software in trial period. I can't find a way to horizontally and vertically space a series of 0.5mm dots on the page. Should I be looking at Affinity Designer or Affinity Publisher? In Inkscape I can use what they call the linked clone tool to do this job. Just want to know if there is anything similar in the Affinity tools. Quote

v_kyr Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 Another quick way, but with Photo instead and no vectors, would be to create a pattern layer then (see here).
