liambrazier Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 My current workflow (using illustrator and the Astute Graphics Inkscribe tool) is to eyedropper a colour, Draw a closed shape, deselect, then eyedropper again, then draw a second shape off the points/nodes of the previous. I cannot replicate this in Designer (or Photo) with the pen tool. Playing with the snap parameters allow me to, to an extent, draw off the first shapes points but there's no way to give snapping prominence over the general sides of said shape so accuracy cannot be maintained. I understand this is probably quite a difficult thing to explain, but the Affinity tools seem halfway there so would be amazing if I could switch 100%. Failing that please encourage Astute Graphics to enable their Illustrator plugins to work in Designer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 7, 2017 Staff Share Posted February 7, 2017 Hi liambrazier, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Currently the Pen Tool doesn't highlight/pick nodes from other shapes unless they are selected too and even so it deselects them in certain circumstances (check the Snap section for the Pen Tool in the context toolbar). There's more improvements planned for snapping but i don't know much details at this point to elaborate more on this. Hopefully they will make those operations easier. Thanks for your feedback.

liambrazier Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 I recently downloaded the latest Designer and I note there still isn't a way to snap to corner points as I described previously, so am wondering if there is anything being done further to snapping or so forth in the future?
