Flatten Layers in Designer

[Kaje]

Hi, I wanted to make a suggestion.

 

In Affinity Photo there's the option to flatten layers and the entire image. If this feature was a thing in Affinity Designer (the option where it completely merges the layers that you no longer want to adjust, or that you want to group into one single layer), it would make drawing and coloring so much easier--especially for those (like me) who are new to the program or switching over from Adobe.

Maybe this is what you cant:

• Select all objetcs (Layers, Shapes, Text, Images) and make a Group
• Right click on said Group and select "Rasterize..."

That will leave a single Pixel imagen.

Best regards!

Most of us want to keep vector elements vector.

For drawing and colouring there should be workflows, I do not know how flattening would help.

(In vector applications "flattening" has usually meant removing transparencies, though...)

I use vinyl cutter and laser cutter and merging/flattening layers would be the only way to make the software not recognise and cut the overlapping hidden lines. Obviously, rasterising an image and tracing it afterwards is a very poor and painful option) Please add this tool to keep the visible vector lines only and (destructively) delete all hidden ones. You could always duplicate the complete design to revert if needed... Thanks!
