stunami Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I just bought AD and I do not care if it does everything I want. I just want to explore it and contribute to this fine tool and its evolution. I do mostly abstract geometrical art and am wondering if it can do the following functions.1. Something similar to the "Adobe Transform Effect Tool" with Copies (repeater), rotation, position and scale control. I use this tool to create repeated object patterns in spirals or horizontal stripes.2. Rotation and copy function. I use this to create mandala patterns around circles. This would also be a part of a repeater function. 3. Custom brushes - Pattern, Art, Scatter - I use this a lot to create custom borders that tile the object. For example I would like to have a brush with all dots that scales based on pen pressure. Illustrator way to do this is a pain making all the dots in a line first.If AD has a repeater function please share the terminology used in user manual for me to learn.

olibclarke Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hello, Re 1, somewhat - look up power duplicate, check out video here: http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/articles/how-to-power-duplicate-in-affinity-designer--cms-25010 It works with rotations, scaling and translations, but not mirror operations yet as far as I can tell. Custom image based brushes are easy to generate, e.g. see links within this thread: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/11553-ad-creating-custom-textured-brushes/ Cheers, Oliver. stunami 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
