feature request: canvas rotation snapping (desktop)


Recommended Posts

What I would like to see in Affinity software is for an option to have snapping angles for the canvas rotation feature. When I rotate the canvas using gestures it is very hard to get it to snap into hard angles like 0, 90 and 180 degrees. My only option is use the reset rotation option.

In Clip Studio Paint, the canvas automatically snaps to these angles, which is very convenient. Perhaps this could be implemented in Affinity software too?

I use the iPad, but I've thought about it. And I have come to the conclusion that it is not necessary. Without it, it's like something missing, but I wouldn't use it. What I find more practical would be that you can set the app to remember the last 10 angles and magnet on them. Because I actually turn the canvas, then work in this rotation, then do something else and would like to snap into the rotation again when I work on the object again. But you don't have to save the rotation per object because the app can't know which object I want to edit beforehand. But my already used angles to magnet on these I would call comfort.

Affinity on iPad 🙌🏻
