913 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 MODERATORS Just posting this to inform you about some annoying features of infinity designer which should be removed. 1) Art board Layer working with art board is very difficult due to its art board layer . I think affinity layers working ways should be same as adobe illustrator. When we remove art board layers no shapes shows outside of art board area . 2) EPS File One of main source file which clients demands and also most of stock sites used this as source file , but affinity EPS is very different from other . ( No layer ) ( Text conversation into curves ) ( No grouping ) 3) No Snapping While Cursor tool I feel no snapping while adding nodes to a shape. Difficult when putting nodes with perfect distance. 4) Pen Tool No strokes showing when using pen tool , I storokes should be visible when working with pen tool. 5) empty Gap Issue While working or in exported files , we see a gap between perfectly snapped shape , this is one of big issue I think . I will some more Annoying Features of designer very soon , so affinity should adjust these thirteen strings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can increase your stroke width when using the pen tool along the context toolbar or alternatively in the Stroke studio panel. 14 hours ago, 913 said: 5) empty Gap Issue While working or in exported files , we see a gap between perfectly snapped shape , this is one of big issue I think .

( No layer ) ( Text conversation into curves ) ( No grouping ) The plain EPS file format does not support layers or groups. What you download from stock sites are actually "Illustrator EPS" files. They contain proprietary Adobe Illustrator data on top of a plain EPS. Affinity and all other apps cannot read or write proprietary AI data.

doodledude Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 When you export a selected artwork and choose 'selection only' the dimensions are always about 1px too big (normally width), even though in Designer under transform it says the dimensions of object are such and such the exported PNG, for instance, is not the same dimensions.

Check your Designer Preferences, User Interface section, and make sure that you have set the number of decimal places for Px displays to 3 or more (I sometimes suggest 6), then check the Transform panel again. With the document units set to Px you'll probably find that either the X/Y coordinates are not integer values, or the W (width) is not an integer pixel value. That will cause this situation.

This has already been discussed here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/165582-export-as-selection-only-the-image-dimensions-are-always-wrong/ @doodledude Please don't post the same issue in multiple places. It makes things more confusing and duplicates peoples' time and effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
