My preference is now for working mostly in Sketch. Its 2014 now Adobe, I’m sure my computer can handle it. Hi NYC997, Welcome to the Forums :) Affinity Designer can only access the PDF stream included in Ai files (the AI file format is proprietary) which doesnt contain the file layer structure, so theres no way to bring it into Designer. The drawing tools in Illustrator are more mature (although still prone to having WTF moments), but Sketch is progressing fast and unencumbered by legacy UI, like having to tick a checkbox in order to just preview an effect. In my day to day work, the balance is tipping between Illustrator and Sketch. Export Artboards, Slices or Layers to multiple file formats and folder locations at once. Sketch is the King when it comes to export options however. Once SVG output is added, it will overtake Illustrator in this test. So that’s good news! Filename is taken from the slice name so you have full control over that. ![]() ![]() However, slices can easily be created with either the slice tool, or by exporting a particular layer, and SVG output is on their roadmap. Weirdos.Īffinity Designer only currently supports saving the whole document as SVG, and doesn’t have artboards - just slices. If only Adobe hadn’t removed the slice to SVG functionality. I’m currently testing a new version of Tom Byrne’s Multi Exporter script, (coming out soon) which makes this process a lot better, and allows layers to output to SVG with exactly the filename you want. Exporting SVG from artboards also adds the main document name to the filename, when all I want is the artboard name. Therefore iconsets have to split over several documents. Trouble is, it only allows 100 artboards, a limit that can be easily reached with iconsets like Spotify with three different sizes per icon. Illustrator performs very poorly at this test - it removed the ability to output slices to SVG in CS5.5, leaving only the option to export artboards to SVG. Back in the Designer Persona, check out the result. Next, press the Delete key on your keyboard to actually remove the remaining background followed by Select > Deselect. Its not ideal to work on icons in isolation, when they’re together you judge balance and consistency at a glance. Choose a much higher Tolerance level of 30 and hit Apply. If you’re designing a website, the document size dialog restricts your thinking before you’ve even started.Ī new document dialog in Affinity, choose before entering…Īs I do a lot of icon work, one of my first tests in any vector app is whether I can keep all the icon set in one file, and output each one to SVG easily with exactly the filename I desire. You can start working straight away without any confines. It doesn’t constrict you into choosing a document size, or output resolution, its just an infinite blank canvas. Opening a new Sketch document is a breath of fresh air. As someone who has spent a long time getting used to Sketch, I would say its well worth the learning curve.Ī new document in Sketch - no messing about The advantage with Affinity’s approach though is that there is less to relearn, and you can start ‘feeling at home’ early on. The Sketch interface is native, bright and yet neutral, whereas Affinity goes for the more contrasting ‘Dark UI’ of Adobe and Apple Pro apps. Sometimes Affinity goes so far in following Illustrator’s path that I can’t help feel its missing an opportunity to take a fresh approach like Bohemian Coding did with Sketch. ![]() From when you first launch Affinity Designer and create a new document you can tell that they’re going after Adobe Creative Cloud with their trio of apps aimed replacing Illustrator, Photoshop (Affinity Photo) and InDesign (Affinity Publisher). Do you fancy trying a new OS X Vector Illustration app? An upstart called Affinity Designer is out and even though it’s a first version beta, it already looks like a good competitor to Adobe Illustrator. ![]()
