Thiagarajan reacted to WKansepa in Alignment inconsistencies
I eat humble pie…
We are so used to Adobe's way of doing things that we take it for granted that their way is the only way. Armed with this deeply ingrained belief, we easily overlook some of the the things Affinity has so niftily implemented into their software to produce same results acquired in Adobe Illustrator. For example when you have multiple objects selected that need aligning, Illustrator's "Align to Key Object" functionality is easily replicated in Affinity Designer if you enable "Show Alignment Handles" on the toolbar.
Adobe's sometimes aggressive marketing propagates a truly false narrative that theirs is the the only true way… Reader be wary.

Thiagarajan reacted to David in Яuislip in Starting affinity programs from command line
try with the full path, this is for V1
start "" "C:\Program Files\Affinity\Photo\Photo.exe"
edit-
the above command is for cmd, for powershell do
start "C:\Program Files\Affinity\Photo\Photo.exe"
edit2:
create a new key in App Paths thus:
start photo works in cmd & PS, not for the faint hearted, don't edit the Registry if you're unsure

Thiagarajan reacted to Tony the Programmer in How to draw a perfect arc
An alternative to the other solutions would be to create a pie shape, leave it as a pie, and change the 'hole radius' to 100%. This has the benefit of leaving the shape as a smart pie shape. As a smart shape you can continue to easily edit properties of the arc.

Have you updated to the latest version of Designer (1.7.1.404)?
Have you run the Designer, opened a file, and exited at least once?
Try deleting the .appinfo files from C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\appinfo\Release

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @nobodysawme. (BTW, it probably hasn’t escaped your notice that I saw you!)
For minute markers, use the Cog Tool to create a gear wheel with 60 teeth. Adjust the parameters so that the teeth are separate thin rectangles.
