CalebK Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Alright so I am trying to create my resume within Affinity Designer. There are two operations I am trying to do in the header and they are prooving to be a lot more difficult then perhaps they could be. I am wondering if I am forgetting some feature/workflow that might make this easier. Could you please look at these videos of me working with the application and see if you can think of a way that these operations could be easier? Situation 1: The goal is to be able to edit the font/content/character of this text and have it automatically center. Video of current workflow Situation 2: The goal is to have the two black dots centered in the screen and surrounding the email. Video of current workflow If you can think of any features/workflows etc that would make these goals easier to obtain please do let me know. Thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLC Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hi @CalebK This is how I do it: Example 1: Text Alignment / Center icon (Designer) Example 1: Text Alignment / Center icon (Publisher) Example 2: Using the Glyph Browser Studio Panel (Designer) Example 2: Using the Glyph Browser Studio Panel (Publisher) CalebK 1 Quote Why relying on your users to report errors is the dumbest thing you’ll ever do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 A note on using the Glyphs Browser: For shapes like dots & such, you can set second popup to "Geometric Shapes" (if the selected font includes them) instead of to "All" to make it easier to find suitable glyphs. Some fonts include a lot of geometric shapes; others not many: CalebK 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalebK Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 I really appreciate the help here yall I like the glyph solution but what about the following situation. I have 3 text frames. The aim is to have them overall be centered and equally spaced a part. Even though I can center to the spread as soon as I start messing with horizontal distribution their center will no longer be THE center. Is there a good workflow that does this differently but allows that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
