Synchronise and Revert defaults > checkbox to use defaults from last selection


Recommended Posts

Currently, Affinity uses the last used style for an object when creating a new object. It is possible to change this with synchronise defaults and/ or saving new defaults.

I would propose an option where, if checked, the last selected object is used as default style (if a new object has been created after a selection). That would make it so that, if I select a curve, I save it as a default style, which I can immediately re-use. The advantage is that if I change the appearance of an object outside of any of the object creation tools, I can propagate this appearance to the next object I create. This is what Illustrator does by default.

I think adding this checkbox/ button to the toolbar in addition to the current Synchronise and Revert defaults buttons would be a nice addition to streamline the object creation workflow, because you don't have to consciously hit the button or hotkey to Synchronise, thereby saving a step.
