shustovcreates Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hello guys. You really suprised me with this great announce. thanks! My questions is: does AD have power duplicate shortcut? Like when you change font size with your finger on the right bar? Or you only can do this with top bar - duplicate? sorry for my english, I try my best. pabloj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted July 12, 2018 Staff Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hi mshustov, It doesn't have it's own gesture and is only available from the Edit menu drop down. You can place 2 fingers on the screen and drag the shape/object which will give you another copy of it BUT this is just a standard duplicate action and not a power duplicate.

A quick way to duplicate an item is to press two fingers on the screen, then drag the item, or you can use the edit menu. To power duplicate you just keep going to the edit menu and pressing duplicate. There is no shortcut. You can duplicate an item, rotate it, resize it etc and Designer applies those changes as it duplicates. https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/tutorials/designer/ipad/#/video/272729523 Quote Windows PCs.

shustovcreates Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Thank you guys for reply. I asked this question because i saw this sample picture and wondered if person who created it did it with power duplicate. And if he/she was doing this with power duplicate, it would take time to click that duplicate button.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only question is how best to do it. If we could (mostly) agree on that, it would make for a more compelling feature request. I was hoping that at the least CMD+J would be supported for Bluetooth & (for the pro models) directly connected ones, but no such luck, at least for my Anker BT one. That would be a start but something more universal & built in really is needed. I thought about a dedicated Power Duplicate Tool on the toolbar but that would make the toolbar too crowded for smaller screens, so maybe an additional panel on the Move Tool's context menu, possibly one that only appears when Power Duplicate is possible right after duplicating an object, with a number value dial to set the number of duplicates?

BradyW Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 On the iPad if you have a keyboard you can use the keyboard shortcut (command J) to duplicate / power duplicate but there is no finger tap shortcut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josie Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Is there a way to power duplicate on the iPad and if so how do I do that for a repeating pattern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As noted above, in the iPad versions of the Affinity apps there is currently no ‘Power Duplicate’ shortcut. You just have to keep selecting the ‘Duplicate’ menu command.

Josie Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 That should be a feature to put in the iPad version to make it easier for designers to design, because to keep hitting the duplicate button is very time consuming and takes a long time to do especially if your wanting to get things done in a timely manner or deadline.

Josie Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 You also should have a feature along with the copy feature that when you copy an object you could multiply that by however many numbers you want to copy as well so it’s not so time consuming. Just for future reference to make it easier when designing using the ipad. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmd+J will work if you have a keyboard, Josie. (At least, it does with the Magic Keyboard.)
