deepblue Posted November 27, 2023 Posted November 27, 2023 Hi Tim,c, thank you very much for your videos. Unfortunately I still don't know 100% how you solved the dots. I'm currently using the Beta version of Affinity Designer in the current version. I get the circle with the dots displayed, but the zooming in and rotating the dots. How do you do that? With a keyboard shortcut? Thanks for your help! Quote -- Apple 2020 Mac Mini M1 Chip (16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD) Affinity V2 Universallizenz 2.5.7 + always latest beta
Staff Ash Posted November 27, 2023 Author Staff Posted November 27, 2023 I think on Tim's screen recording it's not showing the move data entry dialog where he's controlling the scale and rotation of the duplicates. See screenshot below. Create circle Set dash pattern to be 0-2-0-0-0-0 in stroke panel Set balanced dash pattern to on Set "scale with object" to on Hit return to bring up move data dialog Set scale to e.g. 90% Set rotation to e.g. 4 degrees Set duplicates to e.g. 30 Hangman, Frozen Death Knight, Markio and 3 others 6 Quote Managing Director Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Tim,c Posted November 27, 2023 Posted November 27, 2023 @deepblueI'm really sorry ............ I didn't realise that. But it's nice to let you know about such a great feature. @AshBut is it possible that a future update could turn the scale feature into a separate vertical and horizontal scale feature?

Staff EmT Posted November 28, 2023 Staff Posted November 28, 2023 Hi @anto The expected behaviour is as follows: If you swap to another tool with the Move Data Entry panel open, the dialog and any object previews will disappear. If you use a different panel to make a change to the original shape, such as the stroke panel, any object previews will disappear whilst the shape is redrawn. What you are showing in your video is expected, as the stroke is not committed until the slider is released, at this point the shape has finished redrawing and the duplicate previews are then shown. ronnyb 1 Quote List of V2 FAQ's | Affinity Online Help | Affinity Video Tutorials | Beta Software Forums | Bug Reporting Guidance

I can't say why but the iPad versions have always had fewer features than the desktop ones, so it is not too surprising that this feature isn't implemented on iPad.

In the same time, this function seems like a core function that should be there simultaneously Between the platforms, but, I have Affinity Suite on all three platforms at home, but I often prefer using my big iPad Pro for much work… Also, excuse me pinging staff here, should never happen again.

ashf Posted December 11, 2023 Posted December 11, 2023 It would be nice if I could input a number with a unit in the scale instead of percentage. Also formula support would be great. AffinityMakesMeWonder, ronnyb, Frozen Death Knight and 1 other 4 Quote

How would that worK? I mean what would scale by 1 cm mean to a 4 cm square original? Does the original become 1 cm, 3 cm, or 5 cm?

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
Aammppaa Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 Perhaps including the operator would be necessary... +1cm Original square is 4cm, so each duplicate gains 1cm. -1.5mm Each duplicate reduces by 1.5mm. I think the aim is to allow absolute differences in addition to the relative scaling that Affinity currently uses. ashf 1 Quote Win10 Home x64 | AMD Ryzen 7 2700X @ 3.7GHz | 48 GB RAM | 1TB SSD | nVidia GTX 1660 | Wacom Intuos Pro
ashf Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 Yep, like Aammppaa says. But if formula is not supported, +1cm can be just 1cm. Scaling by only percentage can not scale things at equal intervals. Quote

But like @Old Bruce mentioned, without the + operator, that could be interpreted as scale all duplicates to 1 cm, all to 1 cm more than original size, or one cm less than original size. There would have to be something to resolve that ambiguity.
