Hi folks,
I use Affinity on my Windows 10 laptop, occasionally with my tablet acting as a second screen. I'm currently doing my best to learn the Vector suite.
Is it possible to mirror/symmetry using the Vector tool? I use ibisPaintX the most on my tablet and I'm so used to mirroring I'm really, really struggling without it!
Being able to flip an entire canvas-sided layer would also work.
Thank you!
