Duplicate and Repeat, Pivot and Convert Pixel layer.....


Recommended Posts

Hello... these are some observation from my use needs:
 
When you are dragging or transforming an object if you press "enter" or "tab" key object is duplicated with the original object in its original place and the new in the finish position...
 
Then if you want, you can repeat the last action... and make an array or trail at easy way....
 
Repeat also is good to continue a precise rotating transformation.
 
Pivot outside of the object.
 
Convert pixel layers to textured vector box for use with Transparency tool.

Hi Hector,

 

1. Your first request is already available. It´s called Power Duplicate in Affinity Designer. Here's how it works:

- Select an object.

- press cmd + J  (or go to menu and choose Edit -> Duplicate)

- transform the duplicated object as you wish

- press cmd + J again to apply your changes successively to the duplicated objects.

 

2. Currently it's still not possible to use an outside pivot, but it's coming.

 

3. Nothing to add

 

Please try to request just one feature per post. It helps developers keep track of requests and give other users the chance to add their comments to specific features.

Hi jmca62,

Select the object (Jane text object in your case) and create a Symbol from it.

Here's the steps:

- go to menu View ▸ Studio ▸ Symbols to open the Symbols panel if it's not visible

- select the object you want to turn into a symbol (in your case the word Jane)

- press Create in the Symbols panel - the word Jane is now a symbol

- drag it from the Symbols panel to the canvas and duplicate the object on canvas as you usually do

When you change one of the symbols instance on canvas all the others will update to reflect the changes.

 

To learn more about symbols please check this video tutorial.
