Staff TonyB Posted August 20, 2014 Staff Share Posted August 20, 2014 Symbols are on our roadmap. They will be in a post release free update and will be more powerful than any symbol feature I have seen before.

ChrisP Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Any thoughts on adding animation ability one day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Any thoughts on adding animation ability one day? Tony can give a better idea about this, but another team member thought it could happen in the future in another product in the suite (not as part of Affinity Designer).

boudewijndanser Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Great! Symbols / movieclips are one of my favourite things when drawing in Flash. Helps keeping things organized. I'm hoping there will be layers in the AF symbols? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeepShader Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Symbols are on our roadmap. They will be in a post release free update and will be more powerful than any symbol feature I have seen before. Is it possible to see the roadmap on your website? I think this would be great for a lot of us :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boudewijndanser Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I really like how symbols work in Flash. Why? They have layers (The lack of that in AI makes them useless for me...) When you double click you edit them in place When you edit in place the rest of the stage fades, making clear: You're working on the items in this movieclip now, the rest matters less but is still visible. The option to switch between the view modes (View / preview / antialias / full). Raskolnikov, peter and ALx 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CartoonMike Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Adding some way to tile the symbols would be a great.

boudewijndanser Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Is there an ETA on symbols? The lack of symbols still has me closing down AD and opening Flash at times. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshTeriyaki Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Symbols are on our roadmap.

boudewijndanser Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Not asking for a date, but any news on symbols? :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Nobody is currently working on symbols. They are one of many features we'd like to get done this year, but they won't be early this year. GRScott and boudewijndanser 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CartoonMike Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 When symbols do arrive, I know they will be worth the wait.

Staff TonyB Posted May 22, 2015 Staff Share Posted May 22, 2015 9 slice symbols perhaps?? We hope so. We have already done most of the work for symbols but we haven't decided how 9 slices grids will work yet. boudewijndanser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
