  1. Nope. However, I noticed that flood fill does work as expected after you selected something. Still, tedious work. A join all which actually joined all continuous would be welcome (again, especially for open curves)! (EDIT: Though I guess doing booleans is about as many clicks as flood fill... but the case for open curve still stands.)
  2. I tried most options and combination of options. Nothing seems to be intuitive or work well. And again, flood fill only works in the case of enclosed separated curves. If you have open shapes imported via DXF, you're still screwed.
  3. That flood fill doesn't give very good results out of the box either. A mass join of line ends by end point proximity would be a very welcome feature here. It's pretty common in both the CAD world (where this file originates from), and the mesh world... (I actually prefer to use Rhino for accurate linework like font and logo creation... it has much more streamlined precise tools for snapping, copying, movement, mirroring, patterns, tangency matching, smooth blending etc etc...)
  4. Fantastic to finally have DXF import, but that means that all curves are split or separated. So, how do you join thousands of curve segments automatically in Affinity, where the start point on one curve is exactly on the end point of another? Geometry - merge curves does not work, because all curves become a single object, rather than one object per continuous curve. Also, that option doesn't seem to merge anything at all, because when you do separate afterwards, they split into the exact same segments rather than continuous curves... Next question is, can you simplify (reduce points) on these curves without loosing too much detail?
  5. Well, I took the result from Illustrator back into Designer and continued with the entire illustration, and then it came time to export it as an SVG/PDF the output was absolutely horrible. Green result is Illustrator's export, and red result is from Affinity (both outside aligned strokes). add problem.svg
  6. But that's unusable for curves? Also, it's infuriating how there's no exclusive modifier key for de-selecting, since the shift button toggle often toggles on things you don't want because the selection is so inaccurate (or "generous" if you want to do a positive spin on it). 😩
  7. I can find it in Photo (it's a lasso icon) but I can't find it in Designer. The default box selection method in Designer is always "inside" which is so limiting, and I also don't see any quick switch icons for doing "crossing" or a combination of both...
  8. It's an imported object. I can't be manually tidying those things up. Affinity needs to have automated tools for this. I just imported it into Illustrator instead and did expand, add, no issue. (Illustrator also has way better selection tools.)
  9. I'm also looking for this info. The above answer is not sufficient because it's not a specific indexed palette (it's "automatic", ie outside of your specific control). Here it's described how to save a palette from an image document, but you can't use that palette to convert a document to it?
  10. I just noticed that after saving the .afphoto file and opening it again, the mask is merged. I may have opened the file in Designer in between but this is a bit unforgivable as it's destructive (even though in this occasion it was what I wanted). Similarly, I'm now fairly certain that I dragged a bitmap into a layer and it became a mask by mistake, and after opening the .afphoto file again, that bitmap was just a white rectangle...
  11. How can I merge this levels adjustment to the mask? The Merge button in the popup doesn't do anything. Ctrl-E on the adjustment doesn't do anything either.
  12. One would think that the built in tools should play well together, but they don't.
