Bit Disappointed Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I spend a huge amount of time over the year and even over a working day changing defaults in the FX window. The assumption of the user interface is obviously that this is functionality only used occasionally by the customer, but the opposite can very much be the case. For example, I change the Bevel & Emboss type from Pillow to Inner every time I use it. Thousands of times over time. This makes using Designer on the iPad a particular pain in the arse. Could it be possible for this dialogue to have a menu with options such as Set as default and Reset to defeaults (in a suitable place on the iPad as well). Then you could perhaps also save Scale with object as default. 🙂 I know about workarounds, styles etc. but am looking for a non-workaround based solution. Thank you for this. 🙂 debraspicher 1 Quote Experienced Quality Assurance Manager - I strive for excellence in complex professional illustrations through efficient workflows in modern applications, supporting me in achieving my and my colleagues' goals through the most achievable usability and contemporary, easy-to-use user interfaces.

debraspicher Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Style Picker is very helpful as well. However, it sounds like you make a lot of unique adjustments? I'm curious how you work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it sounds like you make a lot of unique adjustments? I'm curious how you work... I make things appear like real things - and use FX for what I assume they were invented for, because they mimic every single real-life characteristic alone or in combination. As far as I know, they originated in Photoshop or similar programs. At least that's where I first used them. Most of the objects need at bit of FX to not look like dull flat vector graphics. Anyway, most of all I simply need the program to present me with the settings I use the most, not to force me to use extra steps all day long. debraspicher 1 Quote Experienced Quality Assurance Manager - I strive for excellence in complex professional illustrations through efficient workflows in modern applications, supporting me in achieving my and my colleagues' goals through the most achievable usability and contemporary, easy-to-use user interfaces.
