MickRose Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Just wondering why the cat tool has no nodes. I can live without bleed lines and tables that don't change size when columns are deleted but a cat whose tail doesn't move is not a real cat. Hopefully this will be sorted in the next Beta.

fde101 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 There should be a drop-down in the context toolbar for the cat tool to select a breed, too. Mithferion and PaulEC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I'm sure this will come. But InDesign still hasn't got this feature or anything similar after over 20 years development. I sometimes think software developers don't live in the real world. Meanwhile as a workaround you could create different breeds and save them as cat assets. markw and Mithferion 2 Quote Windows 10 Pro, I5 3.3G PC 16G RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried this also with our cats at home, but this gave me bad results. markw, Mithferion and Alfred 3 Quote ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you mean. dict.cc is proposing several translations: a) technical analphabet or b) or someone who is unable to perform magic. 🤨 I think both fits to me.

At this time, if you did not save the resulting shape as an asset or similar, the only known way would be to revert to an older version of the software. That said, I agree that the older cat was better, thus the desire for a drop-down to select a particular breed or pose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
