jc4d Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Hi all, I'm considering buying Designer but one thing that I can't find is if there is a way to fill an object using vector or patterns. I only find gradients and bitmap. I know we can duplicate an object to create hand made pattern but I can't then edit the repetitions like if is a bitmap fill.

Staff MEB Posted March 21, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 21, 2019 Hi jc4d, Currently there's no specific tools to fill objects with vector patterns however you can use symbols help you achieve a similar result - you only have to edit the symbol to update all the instances of it in the project. To learn more about symbols check this video tutorial: Symbols. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To learn more about symbols check this video tutorial: Symbols. Hi MEB, Thank you for your reply. Although symbols are a very powerful feature is not what I would need to accomplish the task. I work as 3D visualizer and sometimes I get from clients ready render where I need to put e.g. on a wall lines simulating wood panels, and here I would need a vector fill with the ability to change the size exactly like the Bitmap in the fill tool behave. I'm aware of the Procedural texture available in Photo beta, but I would love to have the vector power of that feature over Designer. PhotoLine has this feature where the user can add/create any pattern and the objects will fill with it in a extremely easy way. Maybe it worth for you to check it out, because I'm an Serif products sucker Could this topic be moved to feature request? cadobir, David.P, eltee and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 21, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 21, 2019 I see what you mean. I also wouldn't mind to have the ability to fill objects with vector patterns.
