A Few Enhancements For Long Time DrawPlus Users

[geotev]

I've been using the Affinity Designer. However, I still find myself missing some of the straightforward options in DrawPlus. First, I think an Undo button at the top would be nice instead of having to go to Edit on the menu bar. Second, I like the Color section. What I miss is the simplified Publication pallet for quick colors. 

 

That being said, I think this Affinity Designer is a great product. My comments were geared to the many DrawPlus users who will eventually have to make a switch. It seems like a lot of that program is in this new Designer. The color selections alone are very impressive. 

 

Where would I find information on how to use the layer functions in Affinity Designer?

To undo, use CTRL+Z, or Edit > Undo, or the slider on the History panel.

- The Affinity Help (menu Help ▸ Affinity Designer Help) covers extensively all the features of the each program, don’t overlook it.

- There's an official Affinity Designer Workbook available. More info about it here.
