Sarvasri Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I would like to use Affinity Designer for scaled drawings and designs. Examples include: Architecture, Carpentry, Landscaping (hardscaping, garden design, etc.), Mapping, etc. In these applications I need to scale the document to match real world dimensions in feet, yards, kilometers, miles, etc. so that 1" or 1 cm = some larger unit of measure i.e. 1:125,000 or 1:12 or 1:1000. There are plugins for AI to do this for mapping, etc. Example: http://www.avenza.com/mapublisher Can Designer use AI plugins like Photo can use Photoshop plugins? Can Designer scale documents? I can't find it. I only saw a request for this from 3 years ago and no follow up since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted August 1, 2017 Staff Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hi Sarvasri, It's not currently possible to set a drawing scale. It has been requested a number of times in our Feature Requests Section of the forums. Affinity Designer can not make use of any plugins.

BDG Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Scaling of documents seems to be a recurring request on this forum. Is there any chance that it will be introduced in the near future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, if introduced, there is a chance that it will do what you want. Serif generally doesn't comment on what might come in the future, though. So about all you can do it wait and see what happens.
