My top three wishes for Affinity Photo / Designer

[Tom Schülke]

Affinity Photo:

By far my biggest Wish..

1. When embedding PDF Files (coming as Prints from Autocad or other CAD Applications), let us    CHOSE    if they get embedded as Vectors, (which architects will never use, because they change those hundrets of lines much easier in CAD),  or as pixels, comparable to photoshop, which has the advantage, that you can easyly make selections from colors, which embedded Vektor plans dont alow...   this is absoluteley essention for the whole workflow of thousends of architects refining their Cad Plans in Programs like affinity Photo...   and well of cource choosing pixels doesnt have to kill the connection to the original pdf´s , as photoshoop does.. 
2. make selections in the layerpannel  by    FAR   faster...  what do i mean...   well everything allright here, but strg+shift left mouse button cklick on the layer should   "additively" ad layerselections.    Why ?  Because everyone composing dozens of layers in imagecompositing would be    much much much faster...  this is only      "one" little , tiny , very easy to implement shortcut ..   But all  3D Visualisation Specialists use it and would improve Workflowspeed extremely, just because they use it all the time..   please implement it..
3. well..    1 and 2   are by far more important than anything else..   but my third wish for sure is on its way.....   embedded and linked  files.. 

 

For Affinity Designer as far as i know it:

1. trace funktionality
2. in illustrator theres a tool to cut lines using other llines..  something like this,
3. a great Pattern tool..

so thats all at the moment..   please you architects on this Planet...   like this suggestions..  esp the first one and the secound..   if affinity will not implement theese absoluteley crucial smal funktions , they would totaly give away the whole graphical world of architectural plans and no bigger architectural company will ever switch over to affinity..
