My iPad Pro is Model: MXG02LL/A

Using an iPad Pro 12.9 inch running iOS 15.0.2 Affinity Designer version 1.10.2 I am working on a needlepoint chart in Designer (i.e., lots of individual strokes represented by curves, grouped, and locked). I am now encountering problems when I try to lock a layer and the program abruptly terminates. The problem is persistent. While I am not losing any data, I am not able to proceed with the charting due to these abrupt terminations. I have tried deleting some of the more recent layers and grouping, but this has not resolved the issue. I have tried restarting Designer and restarting the iPad. None of that has helped. Any suggestions on what might be going on?

I have screwed up some setting and I can;’t find it... Now, when I type in a text frame, I’,m getting ‘fat’ illegible characters and can not find the control to fix this. I’ve checked out the Text Studio, but everything there seems ok. I’ve attached a screen shot showing numbers before, as they should be... and the one illegible number Any advice or guidance would be appreciated... TIA

Thank you for your response. Now, I know. It´s unfortunate as I have difficulties seeing the controls due to an eye condition. I have found working in a darkened room helps..

I haven’t had a reply since uploading the screenshots. Does that mean the black interface is something I can’t change? I

Here are a couple screenshots showing a lot of black - background grey level slider doesn’t affect any of this.

Maybe it’s supposed to work, but it is not working for me. I have tried countless times, and the screen stays black. I am working on a newly purchased iPad Pro, generation four.

When I open designer, the background color is black, as is the background for all of the controls and studios,when I’m working on a canvas. I need to change the color to white, so I can see the controls. On the “Preferences —> Interface” page, I have played with the slider, “background grey level,” and it has no effect that I can see. How do I get rid of the black background?

I don’t know much about this program yet, but I was able to use your advice and the tools. THANK YOU!

Thomaso... You’re correct that if I can make it once, then I can reuse it. I’ve tried to recreate your example On my iPad, but could not find “table object” and wonder if it exists in the iOS version that I am using? If it’s there, I can’t find it. I’m waiting for a new iPad Pro , which will be my device for design.

Tedious is an understatement, as the grids are typically 300+ x 300+ threads, much greater for larger pieces. i will try the “duplicate” suggestion though I’m not confident. another suggestion regarding placing a graph I find elsewhere as the lowest layer and locking it sounds a bit more promising. i don’t want to spend lots of time building the tools I need.

Any progress on being able to print grids? I design needlepoint charts and this is really an essential feature.
