commaimagination Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 PLEASE! 😭 I need a select similar function. I still can't move all my jobs to Affinity Designer because of this basic lacking feature. Josh Neufeld 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-O Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Adding this feature as well as DXF-support would enable me to leave Adobe forever. For my illustration work as an architect I'm relying on importing and then quickly sorting thousands of lines exported from 3D-models. Hope to see support for selecting by colour in the near future! Keep up the good work, Affinity-team! ❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Tindale Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I must have select similar. Now. This minute. End of today will be too late. I can tell you, this program is ABSOLUTELY F**king USELESS without the menu that allows me to select by similar (stroke width, colour, whatever). How can it be even marketed and how can you have the audacity to accept money for this? It CANNOT BE USED like this. Do you hear?

Ian Tindale Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 This point is crucial. It has shifted me from liking Affinity and telling people to get the products, to the complete opposite now. They’re not only bad, but dangerous. What if someone were to actually buy this product on my recommendation? That would be terrible. I can’t associate myself with using Affinity products now. I still need to do select similar. It MUST be able to let me select similar. IT MUST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are with you though in sympathizing and outright frustration, this is a huge oversight on Affinity’s part, but given that it isn’t a priority for them, you’re going to need to just get a trial, month, or ongoing subscription of Adobe Illustrator, because that’s what all of us have to do without select similar. robinp, Josh Neufeld, B4ttleCat and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinp Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 @Ian Tindale whilst I agree with the sentiment, please stop posting the same thing over and over.

RM f/g Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 @Ian Tindale If you really MUST and don't want to/can't use Illustrator there's a plan B: Open your file in Inkscape, select similar, do your adjustments, save and open in Designer.

Staff MEB Posted April 6, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 6, 2020 Hi Ian Tindale, We understand this is a highly requested feature and your frustration (and everyone else's) for not having it available yet, but that doesn't justify hacking the thread and ruining the experience for everyone else - It doesn't make it any more clear than the 21 pages of comments this thread already has, neither will make its development any faster than what's possible with the time and resources we have. Thanks for understanding. k_au, predick, Josh Neufeld and 1 other 2 1 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to echo this sentiment. This is not even a key feature for me, extensions and plugins are, but I am subscribed and considering the interest here along with the time elapsed this might be seen as a litmus test for AD's growth and development generally.
