terraling Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I was going to draw a spiral and couldn't find such a tool, although Illustrator and Sketch both have one.I ended up doing it in Illustrator (if you're looking for inspiration, it's better than the Sketch implementation). peter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff TonyB Posted October 9, 2014 Staff Share Posted October 9, 2014 What do people use spirals for? I have never used one so just curious. Do they need to be smart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbert123 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Yup, very handy at times to have. Also have a look at Photoline's version, which includes a square optionl. And Inkscape has a nice version too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Even Serif's very own DrawPlus has a Spiral Tool, although it wasn't implemented until the next to last version of the program. katcof123 and MaryLou 2 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, for me it would be to show continuous iterative cycles e.g. wake up - go to work - go home - go to sleep [repeat]. A more real-world example would be Plan - Do - Check - Act [repeat]. That said, I don't know how to draw it. How would I then draw a continuous iterative loop around a timeline (a straight line at the centre of the loops)? And if I wanted to break the loop to add an arrow head, write some text and continue (text such as above)? Attached is an example of what I'm trying to achieve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
