Man I can't wait until Serif makes the lock layer actually lock the layer...its gonna be a game changer.

The "Spiral Tool" is definitely a useful major addition to Affinity Designer. I got to play with it during beta testing.

But for what I do, getting some lingering bugs (involving bleeds on artboards) sorted out was a bigger improvement. I was happy to see artboard bleeds working as expected when I received v2.3 BETA RC-2 on 28-29 November.

I was pleasantly surprised when the finished update was released today.

Good explanation about the new features. Subscribed!

I really wish they would do a vector trace option. It would be great if they'd do that and have it match Illustrator or Vector Magic inside Designer.

at 3:39 you missed a quick way to turn off the pixel grid right there on the drop down menu

[benosborne]

Great, but when i try the move, I have the same settings as your, but mine just move back. No up or down

[PatriceDucourtiouxHifimage]

Will you be adding the ability to add ribs and measurements to a drawing?

[abhaykumar]

Are they considering to add tracing feature in designer?

[DorsetGirl]

I would love image trace so I can put my notepad doodles into Affinity

[torinux]

Pixel grid, great for pixel art. Too bad, they will never add animation to their apps, hopefully they add it in the future, so I can drop Aseprite right away, lol.
