gdenby: Thanks for this info. I will give it a go! I was imagining there was a way to correlate a specific node from one "symbol" to match a specific node in a different area, thus allowing the design to "wrap" to a 3D design. These designs get sent to the clothing manufacturer and the images are intended to be accurate in both areas. DWright: Cheers! I did stumble upon this concept. It is very helpful, provided the areas are all the same color/design. I included an image (poor image at that) to show what I am intending. This image does not accomplish what I am trying to do. Thanks!

First off, apologies in advance. I am very much new to the Affinity and digital design in general. I Have played around only enough to get frustrated. I have been trying to teach myself in order to be able to use clothing design templates provided by custom clothing companies, to create unique designs for my business. I am blown away by the detail of Affinity. Daily I am learning more than I ever imagined. That said, I am assuming there is an option to help me manipulate these templates with greater ease, but I am failing to figure it out. To be more clear, lets say I have a template that shows a image of a t-shirt. In that template, each piece of the the t-shirt is broken down by panel. What I aim to do is edit each panel and have it show the edit on the complete image of the t-shirt. I discovered the use of Symbols. Though this would work in some circumstances, where I run into an issue is when the panel does not have the same dimensions when viewed on the complete t-shirt image. The complete T-shirt image is "3D"... so the panels do not take in to account the contour. Is there a way to link a design (or symbol) but have it match an area that differs in dimension? Once again, apologies for the lack of terminology.... I hope to become less of a novice soon!
