eluengo Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Is there or could be interesting to have the area of a shape or polygon automatically calculated in the ‘transform’ panel, together with the now existing position and size? thanx!

Staff stokerg Posted March 13, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 13, 2019 Hi eluengo, This question has come up before here. We don't currently have a way to see the area of a shape/polygon in Designer. I can get this moved over to Feature Requests if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eluengo Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 yes I think is an interesting characteristic when using AFD for home and garden applicatiins, and for surfaces distribution when curating expositions, also can be a help in distributing elements when in Publisher formatting some type of books (I’m sure this capability will be accesible for every app in the Affinity Suite) Thanx Emilio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Sinclair Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I agree that area calculation would be most useful. I currently keep a separate spreadsheet with shapes and dimensions and calculate that way. A related question is whether you can apply a scale to a drawing so you can work in actual dimensions of, say a garden layout, rather than the dimensions that fit on paper.
