JohannesMP Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Coming from Photoshop, I'm used to being able to create guides as I need them by clicking and dragging from the rulers onto the canvas, regardless of what tool I have selected at the time: Creating guides while using the pen tool is quite useful. Trying to learn Affinity Designer now, I've noticed that this is not always possible; Creating guides by dragging from the rulers is only possible when using the move tool: This means that it is not possible to place guides to help you align nodes while in the middle of drawing a shape with the pen tool. You have to switch back to the move tool instead. Since, as far as I can tell, there would be no contention with other UI interactions (dragging from the rulers to the canvas when not using the move tool never seems to do anything), I feel that the same behavior observed in Photoshop should be implemented in Affinity Designer. It would really help streamline things for designers that use guides as part of their workflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelstuff Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I second this. Creating a guide from the ruler regardless of the active tool is handy, like the way Photoshop allows. It's almost frustrating having to change tools to drag out another guide. JohannesMP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
