Question about Designer Vectors

[Zoid]

Considering getting Designer but it mostly depends on 1 core feature.

can you take a line you've drawn and change the thickness of individual points on the line.

I've had a search and can only find that it has a 'pressure graph' but that alters the entire line but that doesn't meet what i need.

I need more accuracy than that. 

 

thanks

You will have to assemble your line from individual segments (individual lines) for which you will set the appropriate thickness.

Or any example of what you need to do?

I think, no one of the established programmes can change the thicknes between two nodes individualy.

Do you mean like Illustrators stroke width tool - If so I usually have VectorStyler running alongside Designer to cover a lot of designers missing stuff - and VectorStylers stroke width tool works the same as Illustrators, but with much more controlled features, allowing for far more precision than Designers current method - hopefully we'll get something similar in Designer in the future?

yeah similar to what Illustrator can do or ClipStudio you can also select individual points on the lines you've drawn and change their thickness in the same manner. 

guess ill dig up my old bought copy of Illustrator and and use that for now.

I'll grab the trial of VectorStyler and give that a look. thanks for the suggestion Dazmondo77

 

its a little odd that Designer cant do it as the core functionality for it is already there to a degree with the Graph. The graph however is just a very clunky interface for accurate and detailed control over the line.

 

was just looking at Designer because Im not a fan of subscription models (Adobe) and I've been using Affinity photo for quite a while on a different machine.

A limited workaround: use basic brush, and adjust pressure profile. The small control severly limits the usefulness. And for vector export you would need to expand stroke, which fails in most cases and creates lots of artifacts.
