AD is not relatively new. Most of AD is taken from Serif's now discontinued DrawPlus which was around for many years prior to AD. This particular feature was actually in DrawPlus. It was awful though. That's probably why it, and some other features that people continue to ask for didn't make it into Affinity Designer.

fde101 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 @Kuttyjoe, based on this new reply you seem to have meant to suggest that most of the feature set of Designer is based on the list of features that were available in DrawPlus - but that is not how I would interpret what you actually wrote, mainly due to the first two sentences (there is no reference to "features" in those sentences and I see nothing in the post to imply that it was limited to that). When I first read your previous reply, with or without the context of what moontan wrote, I would have reacted essentially the same way that @Patrick Connor did, and still would. The way it is worded seems to suggest that the Affinity line is somehow a continuation of the Plus line, and that is not true...

He mentions features several times. I quoted that, and and responded to it. Logically, I'm also talking about features. Moontan didn't mention code. I didn't mention code.

Catshill Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I've had success using the Auto Trace function in Serif DrawPlus X8 and then coping and pasting into Affinity. Archangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Jain Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Auto trace is a feature that is generally expected from a graphic designer tool dealing with vectors. Both industry leading software in India - Adobe Illustrator and COREL DRAW have quite extensive support of auto trace with different types of good presets. This feature alone makes the affinity designer not appealing to graphic designer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
