Tables in Designer

[Gottardo Zancani]

Hi

currently Designer has not a tool to create and format a table, so we need to manipulate each indivual cell leveraging the styles and symbols capabliities.

I've downloaded the beta of Publisher and I've started using the new Table tool and for my requirements this would be perfect but, at least in the current version, you cannot copy/paste a Table from Publisher to Designer.

I can see here a few options for the future:

• the Table tool will be added into Designer as well (best option of course)
• in the final relase of Publisher you will be ableto copy a Table and paste it on Designer
• a new Export feature in Publisher will make possible to import a Table on Designer (currently you can use a PDF or SVG but you only get a single graphical  object)

Can you provide your view on this specific topic ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Gottardo

Hi Gottardo Zancani,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
It should work if you paste to the latest Affinity Designer Customer Beta (not the retail). This will work fine as soon as Publisher's retail is out.
As far as I know there's no plans to integrate the Table Tool in Designer.

You cant copy a table from Publisher to the realised 1.6 version of Designer but you can copy a table from Publisher to the 1.7 beta version of Designer and the table remains editable

Thanks a lot for the quick reply! I will download the beta and try to do some tests: is this capability committed in Designer 1.7 ?
