Hubbo101 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Is it just me !. As a DrawPlus user since version 2 I have seen the software go from strength to strength. This new Program seems to have taken several steps backward. Very disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Unless you like getting spam emails, it would be a good idea to change your user name ASAP to something other than your email address, not just here but in any public forum. Regarding your question, the Affinity range uses an entirely new code base, developed from the ground up to be able to take advantage of new hardware & API's, offer Mac & Windows cross-platform & inter-app file compatibility, highly efficient memory utilization, & several other things that could not be done using the aging code of the Plus apps. A consequence of this is there are many features that have as yet not been implemented in the Affinity apps. So basically, it is a mix of strengths & weaknesses compared to the Plus range.

Constraints and Symbols spring to mind. Once we get a Blend Tool, a Replicate Tool (as distinct from a Replicate command, which would be quite similar to the ‘Power Duplicate’ feature) and a Dimension Tool, there will be few things I need to go back to DrawPlus for.

Just leave your computer in a dark, damp place for a few weeks & I am sure you will get lots of fungus to work with.

It's a little know fact that spiders are really fast typists. They are let down by their handwriting. That's all. Alfred 1 Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.

Wikinger Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Il y a 24 minutes, Alfred a dit: LOL. Pensez-vous que cette araignée essayait de vous aider à calibrer votre moniteur? Good morning. I think the spider's resizing the canvas. Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
