Snapping to other objects when using selection tool doesn't work


Recommended Posts

This works on Procreate so I thought it'd also work on Affinity Designer but it doesn't or I just don't know how to do it. I've attached two videos. One is Affinity Designer and the other is Procreate.

As you can see in the attached video, I first select an object by using one of the selection options, in the same layer. Then I move it and try to correct the alignment (horizontal) but I don't get the guide lines for snapping. Are there extra steps to achieve this?

Also, in Procreate, when you lift your finger, the selection fits to whatever's inside the selection but I'm not sure Affinity Designer can do that. Can it?

Affinity does not offer the same snapping experience.

 

visit https://affinity.help/designer2/en-US.lproj/pages/DesignAids/snapping.html and/or watch the official tutorial to see what is possible in Designer.

Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

My posts focus on technical aspects and leave out most of social grease like „maybe“, „in my opinion“, „I might be wrong“ etc. just add copy/paste all these softeners from this signature to make reading more comfortable for you. Otherwise I’m a fine person which respects you and everyone and wants to be respected.
