Hope the free version will allow SVG export.

If you report your issue on the PhotoLine Forums and provide a good argument, chances are the devs will address the issue quickly. They are very open to improvements and suggestions, often fixing things by the next beta.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Cheers, Juan Has there been any movement on this request? I really need for my maps. 2989 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked this, and there are actually two types of vector fills in PhotoLine: ones that work with a formula of sorts (the ones you tried) and custom ones made by converting a document to a pattern. The second type works well, as long as everything is aligned (turn on Pattern preview mode in the View menu) and the pattern is defined via the document-->Color from document command. Not sure what the issue is with the first type. I did investigate, and the exported PDF did indeed show many small segments. But it printed okay for me.

It appears people have been requesting for the pattern fill tool for years now. I use symbols for now but when I watch tutorials with Illustrator using the pattern tool where you can change the orientation, symmetry, and repeat type of the patterns, I feel envious of AI users! I also don't understand why up to this point, Serif hasn't the Warp tool and ability to do curved text! +1 I'm working in cartography and I used to work with Freehand and Illustrator. Both had this function. An absolute must! 2989 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to admit that the AI for iPad has some nifty ways of making them and also a very intuitive radial repeat function. Yeah, the iPad AI seems to have better pattern functions than even desktop AI. The main problem with these Adobe iPad apps is that none of them, neither the legacy or the new ones, support CMYK. So... we're kind of stuck when it comes to print patterns on the iPad. This is an area where Affinity could do a quick 'land grab'. Getting a proper vector pattern editor, both in Desktop and iPad, would help Designer's adoption a lot, I mean a lot, a lot. For example, I have a client that I could fully migrate to Designer if it had vector patterns editor. But without it, there's no way out of Illustrator for him, it's as simple as that.

Comet Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 +1 for this - its absence is why I cannot move from Illustrator to Affinity Designer. I use this all the time for architectural drawings, and maps & plans. Without it I just cannot do this type of work. It seems like a very big omission to me and relegates Affinity Designer, for all its strengths, to an amateur tool in comparison to Illustrator, and it pains me to say that!

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? I agree, This would be MOST useful for Fashion Designers!!

However it goes totally over my head how this guy did it (see his video attached below).
