How to set guides is what I am looking for.

I don't think you can set guides other than horizontal/vertical. But if you investigate the Grid and Axis Manager, it will allow you to set an isometric grid, which may be what you need. There's also the Isometric studio panel.

By the way, you might get more responses when asking a question if you post in the Questions forum, rather than the Suggestions forum.

I was posting here because it is impossible to recreate (easily) with guides the perspective the email is advertising. It is not isometric, that's why I suggested to go beyond the isometric grid in the thread title. I will ask in the question forum. Thank you.

At the moment there is no way to set up a perspective grid in Affinity.

Whoever made this example image will have had to create the perspective by hand.

Hi arial_bold

There is one way that i know, where you can use
Perspektive Rulers, like you want, in both Affinity Designer
and Photo. This is possible with the help of Tool named
Lazy Nezumi.

A Tool once written for Photoshop. But you can use it
without any Problems also in Vectorprograms like
Affinity Designer.

Search for your self and look at there Webseite.
Hope this helps a bit. Have a nice day.

Then there is no need to create a thread in the question forum.

My suggestion is to create a non isometric cube and a sphere as more options in Grid and Axis Manager.

Thank you.

Thank you for the suggestion but this is not it. This is a link about Inkscape and how to create a 3D cube. This link describes what I would like, but better, in Designer one day.

After some searches in the forum my wish or something similar is a very popular request, and has been for years. While waiting I will use Inkscape when needed.

Hallo arial_bold

I understand, but I see the Inkscape method rather as a Workaround
if a graphics program has no Perspective Ruler.

If I understand you correctly. Than you want perspective rulers in Affinity Designer.

Lazy Nezumi allows exactly this perspective rulers and these feel and can be
used just like as if they were built into Affinity Designer.

LN works pretty well with Affinity Designer and with many other Graphics programs too.
No matter if vector graphics or painting programs.

You can try it out for yourself with the 15 day trial version of LN.

Here an example that I paint in Affintiy Designer with LN's perspective Ruler.

To use LN you need the following Steps:
- Start LN.
- Start your Graphicsprogram e.g Affinity Designer.
- In LN go to Menu and select File > Hook Window
- Now select the Affinity Designer Screen and put your
  Cursor over the Affinity Designer Screen, after a few
   Seconds LN will capture/hook the Affinity Designer Screen
   so all the Rulers of LN will now work with Affinity Designer.
- Push the Startbutton in LN and you are ready to go.
   By press the Startbutton again you can also switch off LN
   for a while if you like to draw with no rulers.


Here is a link to the website to the perspective ruler

Hope this help, have a nice day
