[How does this thing actually work?]

@Fixx sort of. But if you convert the compound path to regular curve then you'll no longer have access to the primary components.

@walt.farrell hmm... We've to assign the shortcuts manually. Thanks for sharing the post!

@walt.farrell one more question. How does this work? I've already tried but failed  Could you please clarify?

[How does this thing actually work?]

@walt.farrell thanks a lot for the explanation. Now it makes sense 😀

[How does this thing actually work?]

Hi guys!

I hope you're so excited to have the newest stable update of Affinity software. However, I was going through this page and couldn't really understand this part (see attachment please).

Anyone can explain how does it actually work?

Many thanks!

[Tab is appearing when creating a new text frame.]

Got it. Thanks for clarifying the matter! 😊

[Tab is appearing when creating a new text frame.]

Alright! I was talking about the latest beta version (1.8.0.555) actually. Not sure what you thought

[Tab is appearing when creating a new text frame.]

Ummm... Seems like it has not been removed in the latest updated. Could you please double-check?

[Tab is appearing when creating a new text frame.]

Hi @Sean P

Thanks for your comment. I'm talking about this thing (Tabs). Please take a look!

[Tab is appearing when creating a new text frame.]

New beta release of AD is awesome! Thanks to the Affinity team. However, I've found an issue. Tab is appearing as soon as I create a new text frame using the Frame Text Tool. Is this a bug?

Hi folks. I'm loosing fx (Outer Shadow) after exporting as a PDF. This is a Publisher related issue. Seeking help

[How do I get font info of a document?]

@walt.farrell thanks! I was taking about Designer actually.

@G13RL thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking for  You're awesome!

[How do I get font info of a document?]

Hi folks!

It's been a while since my last visit. Is there any way to know which fonts have been used in my document? Sometimes I get files which have some missing font and can't really find out their name.

Thanks for your help!

[Affinity Designer - Selection Box]

@Callum many thanks! Hopefully this issue will be solved in future update 

@GarryP thanks for the solution, although it's time consuming. We need a faster solution 

@carl123 thanks for sharing the link. Helped me a lot 

[[AD] How to adjust layer size to content size]

Hi! I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. Is it the selection box (blue outline) or the canvas size (white area)? Please clarify a little bit so I can help

[Affinity Designer - Selection Box]

Good day! I know there is a way to turn this base selection box into a regular selection box. But that's just temporary. Is it possible to keep the regular selection box forever? Base selection box is not always necessary, actually less necessary than the regular one. Any kind of help would be highly appreciated

[Question about Boolean operation (Divide)]

Cut with a rectangle
Or close the line to have it become a shape
Better yet,use the pie shape
or the segment shape
or the donut shape
or the crescent shape
or convert to curves and delete the excess nodes

Many thanks for sharing the methods! I know there are several ways to make a perfect half circle. But that's not my concern. I just wanted to know why divide was not working as it's supposed to do.

[Question about Boolean operation (Divide)]

42 minutes ago, R C-R said:

The "why" is because Affinity boolean operations consider only the area enclosed by paths, so the path of a straight line, no matter how wide its stroke might be, encloses no area & the divide operation simply removes the line.

Thanks for the explanation. Didn't know that divide command works in this way inside Affinity.

[Question about Boolean operation (Divide)]

Good day! As you can see, there are 2 objects in the attachment: a circle and a line. I was trying to divide the circle into 2 pieces using the divide Boolean operation but failed. I believe the circle is supposed to be divided into 2 pieces, but that's not happening. But why?

[Alignment panel.]

@mac_heibu thanks for your opinion!

[Alignment panel.]

Each Affinity software has alignment option which is great. But it'd be much better if we can have a separate panel for it which we can dock anywhere as we wish. Currently we've to click on the alignment icon each and every time when we need it, and that's kind of boring. What do you think friends?

[Deleting node.]

@MEB that's OK. Just need some extra work 

[Deleting node.]

@MEB thanks for your quick response! I knew this alternative way. Actually there are several ways to do this. But I thought the method I am talking about was available. Is there any plan to add this feature later?

[Deleting node.]

Hi there! I was trying to delete the top node of this diamond shape (Shape has been converted to curves). But when I select that and hit delete, the 2 adjacent nodes got connected automatically. Is there any way to avoid that connection between those 2 adjacent nodes when deleting the top node? TIA!
