  @VectorStyler I checked Affinity at this point. They call it 'Color Chords'. Nice name by the way. "A color chord is a spread of harmonious colors which can be used in conjunction with each other to produce appealing designs" (from the manual) and that is true. They only preview names. In their case perhaps a better solution than a random fixed color preview if unable to show a correct dynamic color-based preview.

  @Ayo said in What should happen if I tap 'Create Color Scheme': I feel like Create Color Variation (single) would fit better here than Create Color Scheme. This could be indeed. Do I have to select the color from the Styles window? yes, since it is a style. can be found in the Color window There is also a Color Variations panel.

  @Pat said in Using Canvas in the workflow: So it makes more sense to work with presets for everything Only if you want to use it in other documents also, and you do not want to link to the original, that is no automatic update if the original symbol or style definition changes.

  @VectorStyler The turning knob is determined by the order of tool selections. I've mailed the workspace data to VS-support separately

  @Ayo This is a regression from the last build, one artboard was added into the canvas category, which was not needed. It is fixed and the fix will be in the next build

  @Ayo A fix will be in the next build, it will affect the move tool only (for now). Copy paste has different options (similar to AI).

  I did have to work around this for printing off an illustration. Printing off the bleed would've been more straightforward, but the nice thing about being able to export a whole Canvas, is even though I have a lot of white space in the end, I was able to crop it down in PS, I could still get a bleed. In this case, I was printing to media that wasn't quite the original document size, so having that extra information in the bleed gave me some extra room to chop around the main art area: Just thought I would share this for informational purposes.

  @Raaskot Something is shown at the wrong position when rotated (supposed to be at the center). I will fix this.

  @Ayo Beeped too early. Must have been a hiccup. After restart it works again.

  @Kumr said in Mesh Gradients as styles: AI displays the following message when I open PDF (VS exported) and opens the mesh gradients as image objects. I will try to find out what can cause this.

  @Ayo said in Layer bar signaling: move (drag & drop) artboard selected object(s) from one layer to another without unfolding and digging into stacks I will look into if this can be brought forward from the features list.

  @VectorStyler That method is effective. After experimenting for a long time, this setting is the most perfect, and it can also be copied to the AI software
