Wiredframe Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Recently I stumbled upon the problem that I really needed to replace symbols with other symbols. I couldn't find such a feature unfortunately. Also although constraints are great it's pretty limited. I can't enter number values but have to drag things around. There's also no option to remove all constraints properties form a selection. What I really would wish for Affinity Designer is a more technical approach how UI Design works. Like I've seen in an other tool two layout modes would be great: Freeform and Computed. While freeform works like we know, computed elements would float left / top and collapse accordingly and would have a relation to each other (like when I resize a box above another box, the position of that box changes). Also defining relationships between elements like "this box always has a 20px top margin" would be awesome. Would love to hear about your thoughts.

mrcavallo Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 yep - agreed. it is nuts that this feature does not exist. i find it a fundamental part of needing symbols in the first place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuroiameRyu Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 +1 Symbol swapping alone would make such difference in screen design. A sketch-like symbols editor page would only be the cherry on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
