Thanks Ldina. As I explained to Carl (above), brushes aren't something I've made much use of and I'll need to delve into them a bit deeper. I'll certainly use your comments to help me along.

Thanks Carl. No problem. I've got over my immediate situation by taking a different route and will do a bit more delving into the creation of brushes.

Thanks Garry. After posting this, I tried it on my last post, never having used it before, and it worked 🙂.

Thanks Carl. I seldom work in Pixel Persona. In Designer Person; On Brushes > Acrylics > (128) 01, Pressure seems to alter the opacity but not the width. On Brushes > Acrylics > (128) 02, Pressure alters the width, as expected. The process of replicating what seems easy in DrawPlus isn't as easy in Designer so I think I'm in for a lot of head scratching.

I've forgotten to add 'Follow topic' to a post. How do I add it?

I revisit Serif DrawPlus and draw a straight line. I open the brushes panel and create a brush stroke from a png image. I use the pressure setting to taper the line. ============= In Designer, I try to do the same but can't easily manage it. The results of the two operations are as pictured below. Where's the best place to start learning how to replicate in Designer what I can easily do in DrawPlus?

Brilliant! Thanks Nathan 👍.

I open an image and it's automatically locked. Is there quicker way to unlock it than opening (then closing) the Layers panel?

Sounds good, Mike. I have CAD drawing files which contain all text-based information related to a particular job in File Notes (usually a small job) - correspondence, equipment used, etc. I.e. one file rather than several.

Keep you busy over Christmas, Mike 😉. Here's a screenshot of the notes in action...

Skimming through the new version 2.3 features and the Tags in particular, I was reminded of a CAD programme I once used which had a File Notes feature. Basically, these were just text based items relating to the drawing which got packed within the drawing file. They came in handy for such things as correspondence about the job and even parts lists copied from spreadsheets. Would such things be useful for Affinity files?

Thanks Mike.

Thanks Ron. Although it's not a problem now I know how to get round it, I'll delve a little further out of curiosity.

Thanks Garry. I've tried something similar in Publisher 2.3.0 and it behaves as expected.

Workflow as follows, Garry: File menu > New from last preset Document = 2000 px x 2000 px Click Document setup Select Enter the width of the new document Change the value from 2000 px to 1000 px Click OK Nothing happens to the document Select keyboard Ctrl and using the mouse scroll wheel, scroll in or out The document resizes to 1000 px x 2000 px, as expected If I do something similar and change the height of the document in the Document Setup window, as soon as I select OK, the document resizes as expected. As I said, it isn't a problem, just unexpected behaviour.
