Designer Dimension capability - like Serif DrawPlus (old)


Recommended Posts

Quick question ... many years ago I used Serif DrawPlus and it had a "dimensions" capability where we could draw out the dimensions on the screen.  Great feature.  In V2 there is a dimension tool BUT it does not stay on the screen. Are the plans to bring the Serif DrawPlus dimensions capability (+20 yrs ago) to Affinity Designer?

Welcome to the forum @joelbcornette

Affinity doesn't tell us what the road map for future releases will be but they have a temporary measure tool so I would like to think that is going to be expanded to permanent and or flexible measurement display whereby you measure an object and when you resize the object the measurements scale to match, only time will tell.

Oh, I certainly hope so! I mean, it's nice to be able to quickly measure a line – but it would be handy if you could add more and maybe, have them stay on the screen or even make them convertable. Maybe they could even add angle and radius measuring tools, that would be so great! 🤞

I agree, would be a major plus for Affinity.
