More robust Group Edit feature (like AI..)


Recommended Posts

Group edit in illustrator is very powerful. Unfortunately this functionality is very limited in the affinity suite for 2 reasons.

-There is no option to 'fade out' the back ground

-When drawing/moving/copying etc it automatically exits the group edit mode

 

It would be great if functionality similar to AI would be implemented where one 'stays' in the group edit mode, and with an option to fade out the non-group background.

 

Thanks!

If I understand what you mean, Alt+Click on the Group Thumbnail will put the Group into Isolation Mode, with other items outside the group hidden temporarily.

I'm not sure what you mean by that, but with the Group selected, you can click "Insert Inside the Selection" in the Toolbar, and then when you paint or draw you'll be inside the Group, and everything else will remain hidden.
