How to join all curves in a DXF import?
eobet replied to eobet's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
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.) -

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. -

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...) -
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?

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

Merge levels adjustment in mask?
eobet replied to eobet's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
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...
