![]() ![]() Replacing selected symbols but also being able to replace a symbol in the symbol window by dragging and dropping selected objects is very efficient to quickly edit an illustration (alt+drag and drop in AI) (without having to edit the symbol itself). Thanks for any suggestions, and sorry to the mods for the probably wrong location for the thread. The symbol replacement is very useful and indispensable. Please do not create forum accounts here to ask Legacy Software questions. Overall: I use this to design books and, as I am also the artist, I can switch easily and draw something related to the story and then jump back to my book. These forums are provided for Affinity customers to ask questions about Affinity software. If they are totally unwilling to sell, that would be unfortunate, but everyone has a price, and that software is dead otherwise as far as I know. Posted JThe Following FAQ posts are the only support Serif now give on the Legacy range. If I knew they would sell, but only for X hundred thousand or million dollars, it would be very helpful. We recommend that you continue to use DrawPlus for the tasks that DrawPlus is best suited for, and that you use Affinity Designer for new projects that suit Designers features. iPad Pro (11') running Affinity Photo and Designer (iOS 16.5) version 1 and all three version 2 apps. Delighted to be using Affinity Designer, Photo, and now Publisher, version 1 and now version 2. If anybody here knows how to contact the present owners of the software to communicate about this potential, let me know.

These are things we could add if it was an open source program. I have thought of quite a few mods I would like to write to handle certain tasks but that is not possible without the source code or a mod or complex macro system. At minimum it would be great for Windows users, because Inkscape is just so strange in how it is set up. Large parts work in Wine already, and once the third party commercial stuff is gone, I am guessing it may mostly work with very little tweaking. ![]() ![]() Inkscape and Xara are decent but, Drawplus as an open source resource would be game changing for Linux. I understand certain components are third party commercial software and these would not be included, however, I am guessing it will not be beyond FOSS to replace them with existent open source components in fairly short order. And when I click on one of those already drawn elements, the raster automatically switches to the correct perspective raster. So I wonder how can I do the 3d draw like in Serif DrawPlus X8 There I have the 3 perspective rasters where I can paint rectangles or what ever. What really grieves me is that the customer-focused, friendly company whose every product I cheerfully tried in multiple versions seems to have been replaced by people who don't listen to the previous customer base's concerns.I am trying to find out if there is any possibility that whoever owns the codebase to Serif Drawplus X8 might consider selling it to the open source community? Serif tells me, Affinity Designer is the successor of DrawPlus X8. ![]() The jury is still out on whether this is a viable option - I will know in a few weeks time.

Always effective? Not with some shapes which translate as images rather than vectors. I was pleasantly surpised to find that, providing you are willing to expoert from the *.dpp file to PDF a single layer at a time, the layers can be successfully imported into AFD and built one by one into a new AFD file. So I set about transfering my "legacy" drawings to AFD via the PDF format. What I can see is that AFD handles much greater magnification very well and, bluntly, may survive longer. I, too, have a a lot of investment in maps that I drew with Drawplus over the life of that excellent programme and the lack of any import facility per se put me right off Affinity Designer. ![]()
