Aammppaa has the easiest best way perhaps. What I found is similar to having to do the 2 tap on Join, in your other nodes post…but is Nodes only….problem is, still have to do Object Add at end. For the Ellipse….break in half as you have done… but select only the Left (or Right) End nodes of both halves > Tap Join….it will apply the rounded join, but tap the Angle Nodes Icon and should apply the straighten joining. Use the Magnet to select Snapping Handles option > Drag Handle to snap on outer edge.

Only way I know of on the iPad, is to create your own Swatch Shapes on Canvas and Export a PNG…then open that into V2. Create/Name New Swatch Application Palette.. (important to use Application Palette so it saves within App for later use, not just a current document)… then drudge through the process of Adding Fill Selection to Palette individually. In Designer V2 on iPad, we can now import/export Palettes…. files will be named .afpalette …but has to already exist, kinda of like Recorded Macros. It seems another hindrance to inabilities the iPad has compared to Desktop (which Desktop users will claim is fair due to the pricing models🤣)

Think that it does the ‘rounded’ join simply by default, not sure why…seems like default would be the other way around, applying strait line joining. ‘Tapping ‘Join’ again…simply converts it into the straight line join. Guess it gives the option…1 tap join- rounded nodes, 2 tap join- straight line. 🤷‍♂️

Alas…it is yet another of the Desktop Only features evidently, at least by way of generating the entirety of colors in a Document/Image to a new Palette. You can create a Document Palette….as in Creating/Naming a new empty palette…then by using the Eyedropper, select colors and then “Add Fill to Palette”…but have to do so individually not all of them at once. In Procreate…you can easily create a color palette from images etc…which may be a workaround, but the drawback is that it doesn’t organize them (they are randomly selected and placed). But, in Procreate you can easily Create a Palette from Photos (Images), Documents, and even using the Camera…which just hold up/hover and colors will fill in instantaneously with what’s in view, then snap a pic…imports it into Panel. Can Share/Export it into Affinity. But in Affinity….seems that this and lots of other useful features are absent on the iPad Version.

Well…they never even gave us the option. Handed us nothing but scraps. Give us the full Monty…and guarantee there are those that would pay. Could even keep the Lite version and have two viable ways to get it (and Serif to make money). But if they don’t even give the opportunity…can’t say anything one way or the other actually. Should we include the notion that - anyone purchasing the Desktop Universal License is being unfairly shortchanged…because they bought the full Affinity V2 software bundle for Desktop AND iPad Versions, yet not getting the full features on iPad?!

Fine by me. Bring it.

Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher for Windows 1.10 • Windows 10 Home/ProAffinity Photo for iPad 1.10 • Designer for iPad 1.10 • iPadOS 15.6.1 (iPad Air 2) Didn’t know Windows Desktops were capable of touch controls in the first place.🤣

It just enables you to continue with or without as an option, instead of always being stuck…but can easily get back to again if needed. You can select the Default > Save …to Synchronise it (for your current open Document/Canvas)…Save (globally, this and other created Documents)…or Revert (last synchronized). Once Synched, it should remember the last one selected…if Saved, it should retain unless another gets selected and synched. Here’s a good Tutorial covering it… Objects- Synchronize from Selection

Assets, Symbols, and/or Export Persona wouldn’t work?

On the Toolbar at top… your Pencil Tool for No Fill and Auto-close are deselected. This enables you to use/draw…without those if desired, including the Synchronize from Selection. Turn these on and should work.

Select all Shapes/Objects > 2Finger Hold on screen + Move the center outer edge handles.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Never really use Affinity for Illustration/Painting. Always use Procreate. Exceptionally better for it.

Possible the proximity of objects as to where they are to the other. Often, if trying to Select objects/curves on one Layer, it can instead select another on the Layer above or below it. Is difficult for it to tell which…unless you Zoom in closer. so can do 2 things…. 1-When some Objects overlap each other due to the Layers, try and Lock the Layer you don’t wish to select…then can freely select nodes on the other. 2-Zoom in (Navigator Panel) to differentiate your selections better.. Also, can check the Preference Settings > Tools > Select Object when intersects with Selection Marquee is Off.

You Long/Press on New…or Press/Drag (New has a small corner arrow) and options list pops up.

Not any that I know of, not like you can in Procreate. Only know of Pressure settings but If there is, would love to know.

Actually…Hamburger (three lines) > Defaults > Synchronise from Selection.

Wasn’t aware of a competition, but thanks. ✌️

Don’t have to convince me. Have used Apple since Apple IIE Basic.

Not a Long Press here ….a simple Tap will do.

Yes, in backing up the iPad, it would back up everything. If wanting to simply Save certain items like these, just create a File folder to save it in on Cloud Storage (iCloud, Dropbox…) just like Archiving .afphoto etc files or images. I do similar with Fonts…now even more so, because lack of data/files transfer between Versions. Then can easily retrieve if the unexpected losses happen.

Yes.

Is not just the Brushes…same as in the Assets, as well.

Funny how iPad V2 is similarly behind their counterparts, just as V1 after so much time, and never seemed to catch up. Got a few uneducated guesses of my own on that.✌️

Yes, this and other solutions are already known… asking for more than just a workaround, really. It is something so simple…AND included in the Desktop version, with a Right-click of a mouse. But then, guess that pretty much sums up yet another simple thing not included in iPad V2.

I know there is the option in Publisher, but there is no way to Insert Filler Text from within Designer. Can do so on Desktop version, just unclear if possible on iPad version, when producing Layouts. Since you cannot Switch Personas from Designer to Publisher….as you could from Publisher to Designer for example…how can you insert simple Filler Text, as can be performed in Desktop version (and Tutorials)…?
