  1. Oh sorry no I meant on the right side (still within the art board). I cannot get any line to come out no matter what tool is selected. I tried move tool first.
  2. Um Im not sure what the difference would be between putting on the canvas or on the Artboard, either would be fine. And not sure what the pasteboard is. Thank you for the image, i didn't notice the little page icon down there before it appeared to be greyed out but still works. But so how would I do the click and drag one? as this would be a lot more useful for me as I can snap it to an exact location, rather than just typing in a number. And can I not move already placed guides?
  3. Hi I just wanted to add some new vertical guides to the right of a card design I was doing, but clicking and dragging from the ruler does nothing, and also when I try going to the guides manager there is no add new guide option. Am I missing something?
  4. Oh it was artistic text tool. And it was the whole text or object selected, so should've worked. I tried the other eyedropper and that worked, and then since that, it now works the other way... I seem to get a lot of intermittent bugs lately
  5. Yea both curves are defo selected, but yea it does seem to be a very intermittent problem. Very inconsistent. join curves greyed out.mov
  6. When I have text selected, whether with the text tool (highlighted) or the selection tool, I cannot choose a colour via the eyedropper. It just deselects the text when I click the eyedropper.
  7. I have 2 curves with end nodes on top of each other. I have both nodes selected and yet join curves is still greyed out. I literally did the exact same thing seconds before and it worked fine.
  8. Ah it didnt update cos i had be signed out of app store. All sorted now thanks
  9. sounds silly but cannot work out how to update, where do i go to do this?
  10. I just printed some cards today and it actually happened printing directly from affinity this time. I have attached the file for this one, (had to drag and drop cos the 'choose files' link still doesn't appear to be functioning. xmas4.afdesign
  11. Just tried exporting as PDF, and the lines are still there when opening in acrobat. Not tried printing yet as tucked up in bed atm, but I presume it will show up on print as well. I cannot seem to upload the file atm, the link 'choose files...' doesn't seem to be responding when i click on it and I've tried refreshing the page several times.
  12. Hi, I am aware there is a mild glitch with lines appearing where some elements of a design meet even if there is no stroke, it even mentions it in online tutorials but to be rest assured they will not print. And you can normally check the lines are not really there by zooming in and they don't get bigger with everything else so just a glitch on the screen. And I have not noticed a problem when printing before, but I recently made some placemat designs that needed to be exported before printing and the lines appeared in the exported version and then even when printed even though they don't exist in the design. Is there any way to avoid this? as I don't really want random lines going through my designs in future.
  13. no copy pasting from photoshop works when i paste into illustrator and inkscape, and inkscape works pasting into photoshop and illustrator, and affinity designer into inkscape and photoshop and illustrator, but nothing works pasting into affinity designer
  14. Basically anywhere that isn't affinity. Recently there was images i had edited in photoshop, and inkscape and from the internet. All of which pasted transparent in all other programmes except for affinity designer.
  15. I have this problem with pasting into affinity designer, and i am on a mac. But it creates a white background rather than black. In the attached file the white background doesn't exist, but has been created by affinity designer when pasted... :( example.afdesign
  16. Hi, didn't entirely follow the video tbh, was abit quick for me. When you say merge, is that different to add? Well the only opperations I used were add and subtract so cannot fathom how the extra curves got created that weren't attatched Oh well I know kinda how to rectify it if it happens again, just quite a nuisance. But even if the shape was infinitely small, shouldn't I still be able to see a stray node somewhere?
  17. Well no thats what I was saying, the extra curves weren't there until I divided. But then why didn't it work initially as I had previously tried? I hadn't used divide at that point.
  18. No I made it in Affinity. They were the result of combing about 5 or 6 shapes but once combined shouldn't it then be one curve? And as for things not matching up exactly, everything was snapped to place, but not sure why that should matter anyway as they were all added not subtracted apart from the circle which is clearly within the lines of the larger shape so cannot see how it is possible for the triangle to have been created. And I don't get why I had to subtract the circle, divide it and then subtract it again, shouldn't the original subtraction have done it? But also does that then mean you cannot combine groups of shapes? Cos that wasn't a problem in illustrator. Cos I made all these as symbols so I could see how it would look without having to keep copying and pasting and deleting etc. So to combine them all do you always have to go through ungrouping and dividing them all first before combing them again?! Luckily this symbol was only repeated 12 times, but if it was say a background pattern then something that should take 1 second would suddenly take about half an hour! That's ridiculous!
  19. Im confused, because before I do the divide function it is only one curve. I had already combined it into one shape. And the circle has already been subtracted from the leaf shape as you can see the whole in the shape when it has a fill. And where did the triangle come from? that seems to have only appeared after performing the divide function. So I am still confused why it doesn't work. But thanks for the tip, this did work although very long winded, not sure I would have been able to do that if it were a more complicated design.
  20. The boolean operations do not seem to work hardly ever now. I just want to add some simple shapes together, and I cannot get it to work. There doesn't seem to be any consistency when it does and doesn't work either. Sometimes the same. I have checked all shapes are closed with no stray nodes. Any help or workaround much appreciated. And any fix on the horizon as I have noticed this problem has been reported since a while back with no solution. Did try adding to that thread first but no reply. snowflake.afdesign
  21. I have this problem too! it happens all the time! It only seems to work occasionally if i only select 2 objects, but iv got an image now with about a hundred that i want to unite so cannot do that individually and it keeps disappearing! I know I am doing it right because I do the same thing with just a couple and it works fine. So is this a bug?
  22. Hi, is there a way to centre printing in the centre of the page? I want to print an image on both sides of the paper, but when I do the centres of each image don't line up, there always seems to be a bigger margin on one side. I remember with adobe there was an option to check where the centre of the image was in relation to the centre of the physical paper before printing and adjust it if necessary, is there an option like that for printing in affinity designer?
  23. shear isnt the same as skew. I need skew to adjust the perspective of an image. Shear just squishes it one side or the other
