RangeRooney Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 In DrawPlus, one of the shape options was stripe which made it easy to add even stripes to other objects. I haven’t been able to find something similar on Affinity Designer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @RangeRooney. There’s no direct Affinity equivalent to the ‘Quick Grill’ QuickShape in DrawPlus, but you can easily create an array of evenly-spaced rectangles with the help of the ‘Power Duplicate’ feature.

RangeRooney Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share Posted June 8, 2018 Also, where would I be able to find the tool to create a line with arrow on the end. -------> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted June 9, 2018 Staff Share Posted June 9, 2018 Hi RangeRooney Affinity Designer has an Arrow Tool as part of the Quickshapes flyout panel, it also has nodes for you to adjust the layout of the arrow shape."Arrow head line styles" are on the Affinity Designer feature roadmap! Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

gdenby Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Hi, RangeRooney, Consider what you can do by working w. the stroke pressure setting. The stroke can be saved as a style, and applied to other work as needed. toltec and Alfred 2 Quote iMac 27" Retina, c. 2015: OS X 10.11.5: 3.3 GHz I c-5: 32 Gb, AMD Radeon R9 M290 2048 Mb iPad 12.9" Retina, iOS 10, 512 Gb, Apple pencil Huion WH1409 tablet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That works well for relatively short lines but it doesn't scale well for long ones because it becomes very difficult to get the nodes in the pressure window close enough to the ends to prevent creating distended arrowheads & tails.

Yes. Its a work around. I haven't needed an arrow that was very long in most cases. Lacking a built in arrow, I wish the pressure graph was larger, and had more node control. When I've tried for longer arrow lines, I've broken the stroke so there is an arrow end style, a middle, and a tail style. A bit of fuss that I'd be happy to do without.

It should pop out as its own window / panel (as the Effects do if you want to see all the parameters).
