You've highlighted some powerful but often overlooked tools in Affinity Designer. Among the three tools you mentioned, which one do you use most frequently in your design projects, and could you share a specific example of how it has improved your workflow?
He did a great job of explaining the features of each tool and how they can be used to create beautiful and complex designs. I especially appreciated the tips on how to use the Shape Tool and the Snapping setting.
This is a great video since those tools in Affinity Designer 2 are indeed underrated, and you explained their use beautifully. Thanks for having this kind of content, like it!
As a former Corel Draw user, I had to make my own shortcuts, to speed up the workflow. In this case I set the "C,E,R,L,B,T" keys to center and allign the objetcs. C - center vertically, E - center horizontally; R, L - allign to Right and Left; T, B - Top and Bottom :) I also miss the "P" key shortcut from Corel (center to page/artboard), but pressing C and E works fine as well :)
Thank you! I'm trying to draw the house plan but drawing with the right measurements is really time consuming compared to software like autocad. Then some fundamental snaps like the "perpendicular", "half", etc. are missing. and then even the snaps given by the virtual extensions of the lines are missing. At the moment I use the designer to make some logos and illustrations but it seems wasteful to me not to copy from software that has been used for 2D design for thirty years. They copied the Illustrator genre not knowing they could do much more
All those shapes are really handy and time-saving.

I completely agree! This video is a must watch it helps us understand how these tools can be effectively applied in real design projects.
This video is a must-watch for all who love designing and for someone who wants to learn design like me!

I agree! By watching your video, I discovered that Affinity Designer 2 has more creative potential to offer.
I use snapping tool all the time. So easy to align anything correctly and quickly.
Good overview!
Also if you delete a node with option or alt key pressed it will try to retain the curve if possible as best it can. Results may vary.
