affi.usr Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I have traced logo in Affinity Designer. I have object open book cover. I want simply put logo adjusted to cover. Idea ilustrate sample picture: On X and Y axis is simple - click on object, put value in navigator or move by Move Tool [V]. Using small circle I can rotate object. I want distort object to achieve effect similar to circle with shape on the left before text Dodo Case - it is what I mean by adjust in Z axis. Normally I would use distort or mesh tool but in AD is not available. I try select object and use Node Tool [A] to make this, but I'm not very happy with result. I have logo with man with a lot of points and adjusting this is quite troublesome (I have two groups - first is a complicated shape and second are bunch of simple circles). I try use S in Navigation to shear object and is at this time the best option for me. So then only available option is use Node Tool or S in navigation to achieve adjustation on Z axis or maybe can you sugest me another and better aproach?

Staff Callum Posted June 14, 2017 Staff Share Posted June 14, 2017 Hi Affi.usr, Welcome to the Forums :) Using shearing would really be the only way to do this unless you also use Affinity Photo. We have had a few feature requests in the past for the Perspective Tool from Photo to be added to Designer so its something me may consider in the future.

affi.usr Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Hi Callum, thank you for your answer! I hope this tool will be available on vector editing in AD. I can't edit element on the same time on AP and AD as I suggested here. If it will be posible I can make this faster what I want. At this stage of development is start project in AD, few times make adjustation in AP and is too long for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamauro Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 As much as I love AD the fact that is still not possible to distort an object is the reason why I can not use it for my job. I would strongly suggest to make this improvement a priority because I know that "distortion" is an operation that vector designers use a lot in their work. cchris and AffinityAppMan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbob Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 +1 vote for a distort/perspective tool. I'm still learning AD and working on my second project with it. I was needing perspective and was surprised to find there is no tool. cchris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vector distort tool is among the few most important tools that are BASIC for a pro vector app, why does the affinity Team still not get this, it is really not understandable. I still have to switch back to FreeHand for this - an app that went out of the market 15 YEARS AGO, but that was WAY AHEAD of Affinity designer. cchris and Dazmondo77 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
