IDR Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 As IndustrialDesigner I use AI in combination with the plugin hot door CADtools. I primarily use the dimensioning function in presentation and explanation drawings.In conjunction with the Mac 64bit conversion and Adobe's licensing policy, I would like to switch to Affinity Designer. The missing dimensioning tool prevents me from switching (The switch to Affinity Photo I have already made). The dimensioning functionality of Canvas Draw would be sufficient for the first step.. Is there any hope? Marcos Silva 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDR Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 I see this discussion has been going on for four years. Without any comment from Serif. It looks like I have to bury my hopes. Unfortunately, the product name is misleading. From my point of view, design goes beyond the creation of illustrations. Adobe is more precise at this point Jowday and pixeldroid 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I suppose it's possible that the next version of Designer - after the version currently in beta - could come with dimensioning tools, you never know. At the same time, there's also a chance that Serif don't want Designer to get too much like a CAD application, or whatever. All we can do is request new features and see what happens. I'm sure the team knows what they're doing and, just as importantly, why they do some things and not others. They are, after all, the experts in what they do.

Anders Jakobsson Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 A tool for dimensioning is very important for us who work with design in different industries. Compare with "Serif DrawPlus dimension tool" which works very well. Affinity Team, please answer this question!
