Vectormator when will it be released?

A place to talk about anything else with other Pixelmator users.

I used some vector graphics actually I bought some eps files from creative market. I tried to edit is with Affinity Designer now I am so used to Pix Pro that it was a fucking hassle to select all of the single artwork in a sheet where there were many in it (I have tried Alt, command, etc to click it) I could not select the single artwork with many layers attached to it. I hope the Pix team will release Vectormator at the end of the year...

@Andrius: Any slight info regarding this topic?

Thanks.

There aren't really any news I can share about this — a few other very awesome things are taking priority at the moment, so I wouldn't expect a standalone Vectormator particularly soon if I'm being honest.

Another request for Vectormator.
I have managed to replace Photoshop CS 6 with Pixelmator Pro.
Now, I want to replace Illustrator.

Do you have any news?

We've been thinking quite specifically about how to improve the vector tools in Pixelmator Pro — although that doesn't necessarily mean Vectormator is coming, if we start focusing more on vectors and get to a point where we feel certain vector-oriented features aren't suited for Pixelmator Pro, Vectormator would become more of a possibility for sure. But for now, I'd look out for more improvements to vector tools in Pixelmator Pro rather than Vectormator.

I feel slightly reluctant speaking about another vendor's product on the Pixelmator site. But, I too wanted to replace Illustrator (after having ditched Photoshop for Pixelmator). But, the desire to help the community, plus it seems the Pixelmator team isn't prioritizing a vector application just yet, so I feel like it's worth providing an alternative.

I have found the app Graphic to be a very strong alternative to Illustrator. It opens .ai files fine, and I have not yet needed to do something it could not accomplish.

I also like Graphic.
