Matthias Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 What do you think of the idea that any element contains text wrapping ability so that the text flow beneath the element can be shaped? Editable in distance of course. Probably the feature is already in the making because of Affinity Publisher. Cheers, Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted July 31, 2014 Staff Share Posted July 31, 2014 It already works!... if you're using Affinity Publisher :P ...and if I mark one of the objects as being avoided by text and save the file, I can open it in Designer and modify the object and all my text magically (and incredibly fluidly) flows around it. Okay, I'll stop being a tease now... ronnyb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Harris Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 You can get a sense of the speed in Designer by: Create a Pie shape. Layer/Convert to Text Frame. Edit/Insert Filler Text. Justify (so you can see where both edges are ). Resize, or adjust with the node tool. Any shape or curve can be made into a text frame. You can draw a large letter 'a', convert it to curves, convert the curve into a text frame, then fill it with text. mfarooqi and ArthurK 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike W077 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Definitely think that Text Wrapping needs to be in Designer, too. It is vital for use with flyers and advertisements, which is a huge part of the work flow of most pro designers. petermccallum, rhumbrecht, ronnyb and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeaud Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I would also like to see a text wrapping feature in Affinity Designer! I'm attempting to create a logo for some clothing tags and the feature is not available. jarcon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhumbrecht Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Just ran into a need for this today... I make website mockups in Designer, and wrapping paragraphs of text around images is very common in my workflow. I don't do much print work, so I have no real need to buy Publisher along with Designer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amigatheone Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Can’t wait to see the whole suite. My impression is that you are the only company being able to somehow kick Adobe’s butt. pfft funny Amiga software/hardware was able to do it ,and still does for years..furthermore just ,because it says adobe or avid doesn't means its always used..That is brainwashing ,and assumption at its best/worst. Granted for x86 ..aka mac-pc i think affinity has a chance From what i see,tested IT kicks adobes arse. Now be more like XARA in the distribution of things ,and of course come out with the web affinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Patrick Connor Posted December 3, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 3, 2016 Not... Not yet. Certainly available as an Affinity Publisher feature.

Onur Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 For Designer you can use this as a temporary solution. But 'available as an publisher feature' is not OK for this kind of simple feature.
