n0rmand0 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 It doesn't seem possible to fill a selection in AD. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 You can't flood-fill an area bounded by a number of separate vector lines or shapes, if that's what you're asking.

Fixx Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 What have you selected? Pixel selection (pixel persona) is easily filled with flood fill. It does not work for shapes. Affinity apps have trouble presenting which tools and commands are active and applicable, many times you can tool and command as much as you want and nothing happens as Affiniity just forgets to tell you action is not applicable.

n0rmand0 Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 Yeah, I got the flood fill to work ok. I was looking for something like AP has in the menu (Which can be accessed by shortcut keys): Edit > Fill Fixx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokusai Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 n0rmand0, This has been requested before but it has yet to be added. Hopefully it will be added sometime in the near future as it very useful. Something like Illustrator has where you can apply a colour (or fill) to a selected object with a shortcut. Now you can do a fill of none just like in Illustrator (even the same shortcut). Unfortunately the apply last used colour and apply the last used gradient have yet to be added.

n0rmand0 Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Thanks, that helps! To answer Fixx, I was talking about a pixel selection. The flood tool will work ok for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokusai Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 n0rmand0, Sorry, I didn't know that you were talking about a pixels. I was referring to vector fills. Hokusai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andy Somerfield Posted August 28, 2016 Staff Share Posted August 28, 2016 Hi, I see no reason why Edit -> Fill can't be added to the Pixel Persona in Designer - we'll try to get it done :) Thanks, Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokusai Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Andy, I would like to see a "fill" or "apply" last colour used shortcut in Designer so that it can be used to apply colours to vector objects. Right now we can only copy something and then use the paste style and while that works well in most situations, there are times when it would be better to be able to use a shortcut to apply the last used colour or last used gradient. Like the "use fill" option that is available when using the Pen tool now. I'd like to be able to turn that off and on with a shortcut as well I'd like to be able to choose between gradients and regulars fills and not only when I'm using the Pen tool. The way it is now requires more mousing. Thanks, Hokusai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
