Object resizing - newbie question
Eddy-2 replied to Jeremy Nako's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Although I can't answer your question, are the two attachments of any help? Regarding getting rid of unnecessary white space, one suggestion is to clipcopy what you need to keep and from the File menu, select New from Clipboard. I use it quite a lot. smiley.svg smiley.afdesign -
I've been trying different things and am having problems such as others have reported, as well as not being able to subtract at all. One thing I've noticed is that the shape of the letters affects the outcome. For example, in the picture below when the subtracting rectangle crosses the straight part of the letter, all seems well. It's when it crosses a curved section where multiple nodes make up the letter shape that the problem arises.

Although it doesn't do exactly what's asked for, one step along the way is to select one of the snap options, as below... -
Help recreating this sunburst
Eddy-2 replied to LadyH's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
The general procedure was this: Import original picture and lock its layer. Use ruler guides to locate the centre of the sun. Draw sun then hide its layer. Star tool for small star using Ctrl (draw from centre) and Shift (constrain). Hide its layer. Star tool for large star using Ctrl (draw from centre) and Shift (constrain). Rotate large star about its centre. Hide its layer. Draw rectangle, make copies and rotate copies about their centre. Show each object in turn and use the colour picker tool to colour it from the original picture. Arrange the front to back order of the items from the layers panel. Alternatively Use the attachment below 😉. sunburst.afdesign -
Yes, I've noticed that. If you click on the down arrow on something like Opacity, the sliding scale underneath appears and remains visible. With the warp Value down arrow, it doesn't. In the demo. video it seems to behave as expected and remains visible when the mouse pointer moves away from the sliding scale.

Crosshair pointer

I don't know but something I've found useful is to create a group comprising a circle and two lines and save it as an asset. Then to position it and others as required, instead of guide lines, and snap to their centres as shown below... -
This what I did earlier. First, find the location of the Fonts.xml file for version 1. Here's where mine was: V1 = C:\Users\ME\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Designer\1.0\Settings\Fonts.xml Next, copy the font names from the file Fonts.xml, as highlighted in the picture below. Then find the location of the version 2 Fonts.xml file. Here's where mine was: V2 = C:\Users\ME\.affinity\Designer\2.0\Settings\Fonts.xml Finally, paste the copied font names into the similar location in the version two Fonts.xml file.

Would it be useful to have a topic indicating where various settings are stored? For example, I've tried importing my Favourite fonts (Fonts.xml) and the relative locations differ between V1 and V2, as shown below... V1 = C:\Users\ME\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Designer\1.0\Settings\Fonts.xml V2 = C:\Users\ME\.affinity\Designer\2.0\Settings\Fonts.xml I seem to have managed it - time will tell.
