With all due respect, but your position and arguments are ridiculous. Every software upgrade offered by a commercial company comes with a price. You can now purchase the app(s) at a 40% discount and that's quite generous.

Your wrong. I have a professional Digital Audio Workstation. I paid once, I get Life Time Updates Free!

Hi crayons,

Can't say i've seen that happen before.  It's almost like Outline view is enabled but that doesn't explain why no layer is present.  Do you have the afdesign file you could attach?  Also are you able to replicate it the issue in a new file?

Hello @stokerg, This is the second time this happened. No, I do not have the file. All I can say is that I had had this file open for a long time this morning. I have changed the grid many, many times. I have added and deleted a lot of objects (100's) while this file was open. Sometimes out of the blue, the keyboard shortcuts would stop working, then I select the Designer window, and the top bar turns white and says Affinity Designer Not responding.  

The PC I am using was given to me.
Windows 10 V. 10.0.19041 build 19041 - Inteli-5 2500k 3.30GHz - 8Gb memory - Nvidia Geforce GTX 560 Ti.

[A magic trick]

So I made this circle with the pen tool, and it created no layer, no fill, and no stroke. *Fill/stroke color is set at 100%

[Designer Keeps Crashing]

This is getting to be a regular event. Nothing outrageous about this file I was working on it was just eight circles and a square.

Many typefaces (including some free ones) feature flourishes, swirls and/or swashes.

I did not know that. Would you happen to know which (free )typefaces?

[How to create swirls and swooshes in affinity designer]

I think a Spiral tool in Affinity Designer would be a great addition. I really hate to download and learn another vector program, while also learning AD. If anyone has any Flourishes/Swirls assets to share that would be AWESOME!

I'm really not liking the PC environment!

You just don't know how good a Mac user has it until you have to use PC. 

[No response (AD)]

Affinity Designer just stops responding. I have a tool selected but all I see is the "view tool" it doesn't matter what tool I select either.

 

[color palette import]

@thomaso @firstdefence I don't every remember importing as a system palette, but I see what yous are saying now, some how I must have done just that. FML! 

 

Please forgive my stupidity.

To me it adds the suffix .afpalette by default when I choose a palette for export in AP 1.8.4 on mac.

What if you type the suffix manually?

Sorry not Publisher, Affinity Photo.

[color palette import]

Affinity Photo Don't export color palettes from Mac AP(1.8.4) as .afpalette it exports as .clr, .clr is not supported to import AP 1.8.4.693(windows 10).

Hi @crayons,
I advised to set the document to pixels temporarily to check this. If you are still checking the document with the units set to inches when you set the zoom to 100% then you will still see the lines. If that's the case changing to pixels and checking at 100%zoom (or 200% etc) should fix the issue or as @anon2 suggested above go to menu View > Zoom > Pixel Size if you still have the document set to inches. Can you confirm that was the case please?

Okay thank you for your time, Be Safe and Have a Great Day, Bye for now.
