Great, but really needs offset path function


Recommended Posts

Just getting going - really cool software! I see there has been discussion about an offset path function for a few years - coming soon? I'm not sure any other vector software lacks that tool. I am using the suggested workaround for now but...

 

Other than that, I'm hooked :D

Hello and welcome to the Affinity forum.

 

It's not being implemented now, but it doesn't mean it will never come. Affinity is working on getting the more common vector features out of the way first. Everything here will come as free updates some time before the first paid update, version 2.

The website is still a work in progress. The "Comics" and "Shop" sections are not yet ready. Feel free to connect with me and let me know what you like or what can be improved. You can contact me here, on my contact page, YouTube channel, or Twitter account. Thanks and have a great day!

From what little I know of AI, AD handles some of the offset path w. just the shape stroke settings. Those can be extended by the outline and outer shadow fx.

 

A sample:

Interesting observation.
