ZeNicooo Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hello AD team! First of all I'd like to thank you for creating these greaaaaaaaat apps which made me forget and uninstall Photoshop and Illustrator from my computer! I've got one feature request for Affinity Designer (if not existing yet): I'd like to create a complex object and then duplicate it in some kind of 'Ghost' object (that's how I call it) that will have the following properties: - the ghost object layers and properties cannot be modified except global position, scale, rotation or any transformation - the ghost object is the exact representation of the source object - when the source object is modified, then the ghost object is updated accordingly My need is that I often have to duplicate my objects, and I also often make modifications on them and I always have to report modifications manually and I don't want to ! I hope I was clear enough ;) Thanks in advance ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petar Petrenko Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 At the end the result is 0, because all three terms mean the same, i.e. ghosts = clones = symbols. :D ronnyb 1 Quote All the latest releases of Designer, Photo and Publisher (retail and beta) on MacOS and Windows. 15” Dell Inspiron 7559 i7 ● Windows 10 x64 Pro ● Intel Core i7-6700HQ (3.50 GHz, 6M) ● 16 GB Dual Channel DDR3L 1600 MHz (8GBx2) ● NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 4 GB GDDR5 ● 500 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD ● UHD (3840 x 2160) Truelife LED - Backlit Touch Display 32” LG 32UN650-W display ● 3840 x 2160 UHD, IPS, HDR10 ● Color Gamut: DCI-P3 95%, Color Calibrated ● 2 x HDMI, 1 x DisplayPort 13.3” MacBook Pro (2017) ● Ventura 13.6 ● Intel Core i7 (3.50 GHz Dual Core) ● 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3 ● Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650 1536 MB ● 500 GB SSD ● Retina Display (3360 x 2100) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcote Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hello ZeNicooo, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) These are usually called "Symbols" and are already on our roadmap to be implemented later. Hello MEB, Any indications as of when this feature will make it? I'm currently using Sketch but find it very buggy and waiting for this feature (and some others like multiple Artboards and Measure indicators) to consider jumping ship. Thank you!

Staff MEB Posted April 4, 2015 Staff Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hi pcote, Sorry, i don't have enough info to give you a definite answer. As far as i'm aware it still may take a while. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
