Duplicate count on iPad

[btavares79]

Hello,

It would be nice on the iPad interface to have a duplicate count option. I create allot of mandalas and repeating patterns on the iPad. The duplicate feature is great. It would be nice to have a duplicate and then option to enter the number of duplicates and the angle of rotation. Yes I can duplicate one, rotate and hit duplicate again. When creating a pattern of 100 objects this is time consuming. Maybe allow doublet on the pencil to any command? That would be super handy as well. On my desktop machine it is very quick with the keyboard but I primarily work on the iPad as the pencil is what I use most. 

If this option exists please point me in the direction to the documentation that describes how to do this. 

Thank you.

Affinity 2.2 implemented the function I think you're asking for, Move Data Entry (described on that Help page) but so far it's only in the desktop applications. Perhaps it will come to the iPad soon.

Serif Labs have never promise to implement this function (from v.2.2) to the iPad platform.

This is something I’ve have been waited for since first release of Affinity Suite on iPad…

Xara vector app had this already in the mid 1990’s - just saying… 🤔🤔🤔

I also missed this recently on the iPad, and thought that Serif's biggest problem is probably squeezing it into the incredibly uneven and fragmented non-tablet user interface of the iPadOS editions.

It's a shame - it would be a dream to have these apps with all that functionality with well-thought-out usability, where features are where you used them and expected them, and otherwise tucked away.

It was the usual joy of reunion and sense of liberation as I continued my work on the desktop Mac instead.

If the problem is user interface space a simple count box or use the double tap on the pencil can't be that hard to implement. Just trying to add to requests that I would really like to see added. For my work the desktop version is much slower than the pencil for the type of work I do. Hence the post. Right now I have to click the menu then click duplicate 100times to duplicate a pattern. I tried the finger gestures and they are clunky at best.

But yes, it would help a lot to have it on iPad too.
