paulstar08 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Love this app on the iPad! Great job! I have spent some time with this app today...all day :) and there is something I would love to see added to the app. Rulers. Rulers are always a crucial part of my workflow and I know it is for other designers out there. I really like this app and still digging into the ins and out of it. Thanks for finally creating a very powerful vector app for the iPad thanks works amazingly. scamper, ronnyb, rai44 and 9 others 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scamper Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Came here to say this. It’s odd because rulers are mentioned (just once) in the documentation. But if there’s a way to actually access the rulers, it’s too subtle for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few other 'anomalies' that you will come across. Rulers will hopefully make it to the next release, along with import palettes etc. rai44, scamper and Paul61 3 Quote M2 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 16.5.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen). iPad Pro 10.5, iPadOS 16.51, Apple Pencil 1st gen.

Jonopen Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I’d be interested to know about rulers and guides too!

VectorCat Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 DM1; Thank you..”not yet available” is far better than the chilly unknowne. Thanks for the guides info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorCat Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 when rulers arrive, might the user be able to set where the zero point is..in the case where you need the origin to be other than the top left corner of the document or art board? thank you Mark Freeman, adpdl, Pink Tree Portfolio and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kclapp Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Just wanted to add, rulers would be a huge plus to my workflow. SandMagic, Pink Tree Portfolio, greasy and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasy Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 bumping this thread to say that I just bought the software this week and would love rulers. I am using the software to layout templates for leatherworking components, and accurate measurability for alignment is important. (i also noticed millimeters is not an option for sizing units, but that's another request) VectorCat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitartech Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Rulers on iPad Designer are the one thing keeping me from switching completely over from Illustrator on the Mac. Hopefully coming soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I have to agree. Rulers are very important for a program that does design. I have found that I can use Designer on the go when I am working with clients and having rulers is extremely important. The on the go is new, but I found it works pretty well.

Maoilíosa Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I found this forum while searching for "how to show rulers in Affinity for iPad." I thought I just wasn't finding the correct place to turn it on in the app. It would be a very useful feature to have.

dysamoria Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Wasn't the whole point of these apps that they were 100% the same functionality between platforms? I swear I just read this very claim on the Affinity pages marketing these products...
