Hi, yes I just replied to that one few minutes ago. I did look for a few hours first and couldn't find anything but alas found this just after creating this thread

So there is an option to set background colour in designer. As i explained I can change this to any other colour on the character panel background colour option, but if I get rid of it, it reverts to pink. And no I haven't opened anything from anywhere I just created the text in designer and it automatically had the pink background on. However, I finally found another similar thread I didn't see before that addressed this problem... solution: If I go to Edit > Defaults > Revert, this resolved the issue. No idea how it happened in the first place though

Thank you so much this worked! No idea why it went wrong to start with. Mine had a constant pink background on every text i made.

So I have a strange situation where my any text I type now has a pink background. The background is set as transparent/no fill. I can over ride with a different colour but I cannot get no colour it is always pink! There are no effects or styles present. No adjustment layers, and it is not part of a another layer with any kind of filter. Any new text I add as normal on top has a pink background. If I start a new doc this does not seem to happen though.

Oh I see you click and let go. I thought you meant alt click and drag it to the node like the previous suggestions. Yes that works as well thank you.

OMG yes! that is exactly what I wanted, thank you!

It just doesn't snap to the node. Unless you get rid of the handle completely both sides which is not wanted as we want one side still curved the other side of the node remains curved. You can put it pretty close but you zoom in and it is still curved so will never get a neat line joining it to the next node which is needed.

Like OP I would like this ability. I knew about the alt trick but this doesn't help as you can never completely get rid of it so it is still curved not an accurate straight line

Thank you Brian this worked. I would've preferred if I could snap it exactly so that the top of the text became the baseline but this'll do

Not sure I understand... from which point do I press return. That seems to make it go upside down...

How do I make text follow a circle at the bottom of the circle without it going inside, upside down or backwards?

Oh I see what you mean. No I think it means both are fine as long as they are below 100 MB.

You both seem to keep misreading that bit, it does say larger than 100MB, which for most users is basically 0% of their files, so no microsoft is NOT saying thumbnails are not supported for PDFs at all.

No I have to agree with dre, all my files are well under 100MB and it is only affinity files that this is an issue with, other software like adobe there is never been a problem, so it is definitely an affinity error

I looked at that help section on linking, however, the duplicate linked option was always greyed out, not sure what I'm doing wrong. So I want it so I don't have to go through and edit the individual elements, (which could be a hundred or so if it were a more complex design). Not sure why one cannot select all instances and edit in one dialogue box for all like you would for other things, such as stroke, colour, effects etc. Not sure what the adjustment layer inherent mask means? or the next line? (sorry I'm not exactly an advanced user with this programme) All layers are vector and I want them to stay that way Not sure how global colours work, would this be something I should've set up before duplicating/ creating multiple copies? I do have photo, but is this just for pixel related content? I want non destructive actions that can be easily editable. The layers issue shouldn't be an issue in this very basic design, however if in another design some of the layers that I wanted to have the same adjustment I then wanted not next to each other (layers wise, as in something in between them without the same adjustment) then this workaround would not work. Symbols I do sometimes use, but I always forget before I duplicate them, so then it's a bit late. Not sure I understand your 5 steps.
