Frank Jonen 133 Posted January 26 Goes for all apps but mainly Designer. Right now we have a split mode that's — to be polite — of limited use. Zoom, rotation… all of that does not happen. It's merely a checking method on how your pixels may eventually look and if you have stray vectors. That's it. It'd be so much more useful to have a way of seeing a document at various zoom levels without having to use tabs or the freakazoid view mode. One side of the split would be the document at display scale while the other would be zoomed in to work on a detailed part more easily while always seeing it in context. 2 ronnyb and Sean P reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patrick C 15 Posted January 31 Do views not already do this? You can make a new view window and use it as you would your regular view, zoom to whatever level etc, while working close up on your main view.

MEB 6,835 Posted January 31 Yes, New View does it. Didn't remember about it at the time. Thanks Dclone2. Affinity Quick Reference | Common Feature Requests | Call for Camera Images Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank Jonen 133 Posted February 1 Yes but you have to use that freakish exploded mode of the app. Not very helpful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're referring to Separated Mode then I guess you're on Mac. New View works quite nicely with floated documents on Windows, but I don't think that Affinity allows floating of individual documents on Mac. -- Walt Windows 10 Home, version 1809, 16GB memory, Intel Core i7-6700K @ 4.00Gz Affinity Photo 1.6.5.123 and 1.7.0.243 Beta Affinity Designer 1.6..5.123 and 1.7.0.243 Beta Affinity Publisher 1.7.0.238 Beta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carl123 837 Posted February 1 On Windows you can detach the Navigator Panel, resize it, set it to the zoom you want and move it to your second screen ( if you have one) Then zoom in to work on your main screen, (the Navigator Panel's zoom will not be affected) Would this work on a Mac?
