Thank you so much! Can I request the feature somewhere?

More on this topic: I know “Boolean operation can only work on two objects at a time” because “boolean Intersect each triangle” is the only way I know to crop two objects. When there’re hundreds of objects, AD is expected to be able to handle Boolean intersect, not repeating the above operations hundreds of times.

Thank you for your reply. The problem remains:

I’m working on seamless pattern tiles in Affinity Designer and need to keep objects inside a square. Everything touching/outside of the square edge needs to be cropped. I’ve simplified my question on the attached image. The problem is: It looks like the Boolean crop operation can only work on two objects at a time. With hundreds of objects, how should I crop the parts outside of the square? (with different colour I am unable to create compound shapes.) p.s. clipping, masking, hiding the parts out of view not an option.

Hi just want to add that I’m experiencing the same bug on desktop 1.8.3.641 as well. Thanks for looking into this and hope it’ll be fixed soon.

I’ve spent two hours on this issue and here’s my insight: canvas size (width, height) should be in pixel, integer, and most importantly EVEN NUMBER canvas position (x, y values) should be in pixel and integer all of above apply for shapes too For precision, move shapes by their xy values instead of snapping no gap another route: create shapes manually move each shape so that they overlap by 1 px no gap Outline precision be damned tl;dr you can get rid of the gap but at what cost? Time? Precision? Ugliness (add a same colour background to disguise the gap)? Everyday I doubt the reliability of affinity products in a professional setting and yet I still work with them. Guess the frustration is just part of the process.
