The measure of true interface elegance is whether it can survive through the addition of a full feature set. Is it perfect? Nope, not even so far, and it still has a long way to go to flesh out functionality. Here's what I see in Affinity: evidence of careful forethought. But guess which one I see most hope in for actually moving the lethargic vector drawing segment forward at long last? Click OK and there's your line, 5.9375 inches in length at 25.75 degrees.īut is this actually more elegant than Affinity's treatment? Think about it.Īnd where is ACD Canvas in this comparison? By what logic is it left out? Or Xara Designer? Or Corel Technical Designer? I could give you a long list of features in any of those which are "missing" in Affinity Designer. A modal dialog appears with fields in which you can enter those two values. In Illustrator, get the Line Tool and simply click somewhere. To answer that, consider this: Would you call Illustrator's user interface-while actually drawing-the best of the bunch?Īble to define a Line in terms of length and angle. Do they make Illustrator the "best" vector drawing program? Those are two of Illustrator's claims-to-fame. One can easily build such a bullet list which makes any of the compared programs appear to come out on top.Įxample: Which of the programs has anything like Illustrator's Pattern Brushes? Which of the programs are able to apply multiple strokes and fills (not just effects) to a single path? One problem with this kind of comparison is, they are always incomplete.

It also includes chapters on advanced CorelDRAW topics, including printing, using scripts and exploring VBA (Visual Basic for Applications).The problems with this kind of comparison is why Affinity was actually created.
