Isis478 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I'm still learning affinity design, but I would like to know if there is a nice tutorial to do a drawing of products. The look that I'm trying to go for is similar to a CAD drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted June 13, 2018 Staff Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hi @Isis478, Welcome to the forums. We do have a few tutorials, but they are not for products specifically. Have a look: https://affinityspotlight.com/article/making-a-monster-with-monez/ https://affinityspotlight.com/article/toxic-land-creating-characters-with-frankentoon/ https://affinityspotlight.com/article/the-eyes-of-a-butterfly-with-kevin-house/ Thanks, Gabe.

Staff MEB Posted June 13, 2018 Staff Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hi Isis478, Welcome to Affinity Forums Can you be a little more specific please? What type of products in particular? Bottles, packaging (fake 3d), anything else? Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis478 Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 HI @MEB, The products has to do with things like, sliding door gears, so like the track, hangers and shower fittings, so like seals, handles, glass clamps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdenby Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hi, Isis478, Topics similar to this come up every now and then. AD is very well suited to doing precise drawing, but lack some common features usually found in CAD programs. Notably, there is no automatic dimensioning tool. One has to make one's own hatching patterns, I don't recall anyone making those and offering them to the public. You will most likely want to view both in house and user made vids on using the isometric grid features. Also check out the tute's on the snapping features. They allow objects to be precisely positioned on the grid, and in relation to other objects. Explore the built in shapes. You mention gears. The cog tool will likely satisfy making those very easily.
