Staff MEB Posted January 9, 2017 Staff Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hi brunzenstein, No, there's no such feature in Affinity Designer. It will probably be introduced with Publisher. You have to create/lay it out manually. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginpost Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Any update on Affinity Publisher? I am hearing more and more shops converting to Affinity products and I know a couple indpendent designers who would love an alternative to inDesign.

Butler To Cats Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Workaround: (Note: even after adding text, you can still use the node tool to modify the shape, and text will reflow to fit) Suppenterrine, juan almonte and lvl99 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvl99 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Would be great to have it natively supported in Affinity Designer. Thanks @obtusity for the quick workaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted May 6, 2020 Staff Share Posted May 6, 2020 Hi EL FAHLI, Welcome to affinity Forums This is available in Affinity Publisher, our dedicated desktop publishing solution - maybe it's more appropriate for what you are trying to do? In Designer you have to do it manually. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL FAHLI Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Thank you, I do it in Publisher without difficulty, In Designer, doing it manually, it lacks precision and takes time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
