m.vlad Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Is it possible to get a second antialiasing option which would get rid of the gaps between vectors that aren't actually there? rubs 1 Quote Mădălin Vlad Graphic Designer contact@mvlad.design https://mvlad.design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tracing tool would find all the shape boundaries in a bitmap image and create closed curves to mark those boundaries. The 'Convert Pixel selection to Vector shape' feature will simply take a "marching ants" selection and create a vector shape to match. That's interesting, Can you point me to where I can find the 'Convert Pixel selection to Vector shape' feature in AD, thank you :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Martin Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Does 1.7 include global style feature? A way to control stroke, gradiant, fx simultaniously in several objects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can already do that, just select multiple objects at the same time and you can apply any of those changes to all of the selected items at once.

Aaron Martin Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 This will require me to ,as you said, select multiple items which can get frustrating if those changes have to apply to many items such as 50 or 100 in different artboard scattered around a work, and to redo the whole process again for later editing. Im suggesting a workflow that doesnt require selecting and getting the job done in just a few clicks. Similar to how global color works.

Click on the very top layer/artboard then shift click the one on the very bottom, this will instantly select every object then you can apply the same color, stroke, effect, or gradient to all of them.

Thanks EricGD for your suggestion. But that simply doesnt solve my issue if the objects or layers i need to change are not all together, specially when the shapes which requires editing are grouped or nested in other shapes.

JET_Affinity Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Quote Does 1.7 include global style feature? Aaron, You're on the right track in mentioning graphic Styles, but not sure what you mean by "global" styles. Working with graphic Styles is what you need. But what's missing is a means by which to select all objects throughout the document to which a given Style has been applied (so that you can then simply apply another Style), or by which to edit or replace a Style by replacing its attributes with a differently-styled object (so that the edit automatically cascades to all object to which that Style is already applied). For me, that's one of many features which I hope the Affinity team is planning to do more thoroughly than, for example, Illustrator's small handful of "select same..." commands, which itself was a very weak answer to Macromedia FreeHand's extensive Graphic Find & Replace feature. (Insert here my customary rant that Styles, Strokes, Brushes, Path Ends, and Symbols should not be a grab-bag of standalone features, but should all be thoughtfully integrated with each other.)

A way to control stroke, gradiant, fx simultaniously in several objects? I think that @Aaron Martin was pretty clear in what he asked: GLOBAL STYLES. That means: - a set of multiple object properties (fill style, stroke style, brush, effects, gradient, transparency, corner radius, etc) that can be configured and saved in a global styles list, with a user given name; - the style can be applied to multiple objects; - once the style is updated, all objects with that style applied to them would have their appearance updated in real time, without having to find each one of them, select and then update style, which is a tedious non productive task. It would also be nice to have: - Create a global style from the selected object. - Save the global styles in a shareable / external library document - An object with a global style applied to it, could have it's properties overwritten, without affecting other objects with the same global style. However, user could be able to "update global style from selected object" or "reset changes to match global style". m.vlad, seabirdr, Markio and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxsteenbergen Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I noticed Illustrator's Blend tool is one the Roadmap a well. Is that planned for 1.7 as well, and will it allow us to have gradients follow an arbitrary path? Leafdancing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is Illustrator's Blend tool that is on the Roadmap, I think it is Designer's Blend tool that is on the Roadmap (or it might be Affinity's Blend tool).

JET_Affinity Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Quote But, what else you can add to a blend tool? First thing that comes to mind is an option to have the interpolated steps of a blend uniformly spaced along the length of its spine path, as opposed to their distribution always being subject to the curve handles. Another is for it to correctly handle distribution along closed paths. JET Krustysimplex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
