TextusGames Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 (1 : 52) What prevents you to implement something like this? Do you think this is not important? lepr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bianca Esteban Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Honestly, I don’t even think the devs read these forums. People have been complaining about not having this function for years and no one seems to give a crap. It’s very disappointing. Affinity, in many ways, works better for me than Illustrator, but in other ways, it’s just too unwieldy for an efficient tool. awakenedbyowls and Przemysław 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep trying to only use AD as my main vector tool but there are still a lot of basic things like proper stroke width tool and others than makes me keep jumping to Illustrator again and again. It's like they keep adding these useless features and ignore basic functions of a productive vector tool. How can professionals do the switch when their workflow suffers and time is wasted using all kinds of workarounds to get things done? Quote Check out my awesome Affinity Creations!

hcem Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 +1 please add this can't understand why it's not already implemented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloudhandz Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Yes absolutely!!! also with the pentool please!! This is so weird to have to leave your shape to go to that difficult-to-read little menu with a thousand options while we just need to close the path we just sarted to draw. Very weird indeed. We should get an option when coming close to the first node of the selected shape to close the goddammed shape. (sorry, it stresses me) Cheers!

ellimac Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 wow, Serif better catch up... I find myself using Adobe Illustrator more and more these days on my iPad. Please make this feature available. On a different note (sorry if this is off topic), I hope they also match the grid repeat feature available on the new Adobe Illustrator on the iPad.

Macmonkey Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 I must admit adobe kinda knocked it out the park with the mobile version of illustrator. I love the way all the most common functions appear beneath the selected items. It makes it so much easier than rooting around in various panels and sub panels, and yes of course auto closing lines, why would you not I think this was Adobe saying ‘we see what you are doing Serif’ and we raise you I look forward to seeing how the guys at serif respond. A little healthy competition is good for everyone. Cristian Dragos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The iPad version of Designer has been pretty stale in the last year or so. Macmonkey 1 Quote Check out my awesome Affinity Creations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefano6884 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Oh man yes please... I use Designer for research purposes and had to write my own code to close all paths in an svg, but you could implement in a much better and smoother way...

Oddity Garden Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Please, please include this feature. A checkbox next to the "use fill" check box for the feature if needed. Auto close would be a massive time saver🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLM Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I have been an Affinity Photo fan/user for years and just got Affinity Designer for the iPad. I had been having trouble ending both pen and pencil strokes until I found ben designs on YouTube. In very short videos all was explained concisely, and in easily learnable terms. (Very much like James Ritson does in his tutorials.) Pen Tool Pencil Tool Node Tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloudhandz Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 +1 definitely! I want to stay polite but comon, why would you leave the paths unclosed? (I know, for single lines, but still) That's just so weird! Or at least a button that says "auto close path: ON/OFF" Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably not the most elegant solution, but it definitely works (AD for Windows). p Mithferion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
