gcvrsa Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I see that there hasn’t been a thread about this in about a year, so I would like to mention that Step and Repeat is an essential tool for the kind of design work that I do creating personal organizer products.

walt.farrell Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Can we see an example of the kind of design you're making?

gcvrsa Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) Neither Quick Grid nor Power Duplicate are acceptable or efficient replacements for Step and Repeat which is implemented in a wide variety of other design software applications.

If you are a professional designer, then you are already familiar with what "Step and Repeat" entails, as it has been implemented in professional design software for over 30 years.

Hello, @gcvrsa. Welcome to Affinity. We are all users of the Affinity suite here, and we all know the features of the product, but we have no idea what you are talking about here. A good understanding of your expectations and disappointments is important to be able to answer! On another subject, imagine the following dialogue in a doctor’s office: - Doctor, I didn’t enjoy my dinner last night. - Okay! What did you eat? - You know what I ate. It’s a dinner! - I know what a dinner is, but what did you eat last night? - That’s my private life. What I’m asking you to do is to cure me. - What are the symptoms? - Are you doing this on purpose or what? I told you it’s my private life. Etc. To understand your suggestion, a screen copy or better a video, and explanations are necessary.
