Jumper1308 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hi, I saw the overview video from Affinity Designer a few days ago. At 1:08 min to 1:16 min is a really cool function and I want to know how I can do something like this in Affinity Designer. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papibois Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 The vectorisation of letters one by one without having to follow their outline with the pen. On Illustrator it was very easy and I hav'nt already found how to manage this with Affinity Designer. It would be to make this kind of composition: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 28, 2017 Staff Share Posted March 28, 2017 Hi Papibois, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Currently there's no auto-tracing feature in Affinity Designer (i believe that's what you are referring to). So you have to trace (outline them with the Pen Tool) the letters manually. If you find a font similar to these letters (which should not be difficult) you can easily design a composition similar to what you are showing in your screenshot quite easily without having to trace the letters. We do intend to develop/implement an auto-trace feature for a future version if we are happy with it's accuracy/results.

Papibois Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Thanks to you. I hoped there was auto-tracing feature and I thought I was unable to find it ... Ok I'll make like you tell me but it's a little bit longer. Can we expect this feature in a next update ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papibois Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Yes I can !!! and it's very easy ! Someone on the french forum explain to me : I write my text with the artistic text tool and the font I want to use. Then I select and click on "convert to curves" and then on "degroup". Its enough : each letter became a vector and I can make all what I want with it except choose another font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 If you make each letter ("P", "a", "s", "c", "a", "L" in your example) a separate artistic object, there is no need to convert to curves and the text therefore remains editable (so you can easily change "PascaL" to "Rascal" and/or change the font).
