Macros for Affinity Designer


Recommended Posts

i am creating a site with a black background. In designer, need to create many new documents. For consistency, need all black. so when i open a new document type web color format RGB/16, opens a page with white background. then i take the rectangle fill it with black and begin my illustration. The question is : is there a way to open new documents in black as default and the font i use most as default? if so, how? thanks. Affinity has made my life soooooooo easy, now i got addicted.

Not per default prefs/option settings or the like. - What you can do instead is make yourself a template file (doc or artboard based) with the needed document size and black rect fill pseudo background and setup some dummy text there in the font(s) you want to use. Then every time to you need a new doc of that style just reuse that custom template you made.

Macros or scripting support are sadly not available in AD which is a shame, since they would be more than useful.

☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan
☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2

v_kyr, i figured it out. i created the gradient text exactly as i wanted with black background, then select all and then click edit/default/save.

magically, AD remembered my rgb, margin etc settings, the fill automatically black as i wanted and the text with the gradient that was perfectly set. Life became sooooooo much simpler.

 

Happy Camper!!!
