[Object count on Ipad]

Thank you! 

[Object count on Ipad]

On the desktop of affinity designer, it is at the bottom. I can see the object count there. Is there a specific section on the iPad for object counts? I want to be able to select some circles and know exactly how many I have on the iPad. Any tips or tricks? I have affinity designer version 2 on the iPad. 

[Object count]

Thanks this helped a lot! 

1. duplicate the object in ADe and make sure it's selected in the Layers panel
2. Layer → Expand Stroke
3. Layer → Geometry → Separate Curves
4. see the contextual toolbar for object count, then group, disable or delete the selection

[Object count]

Is there a way to count the objects in a stoke? I use a line tool and then I change it to 3mm or 4mm dots. When I select the square or line or shape to see how many dots I have it does not tell me the number of dots I have. 

[Line tool]

I am using the line tool. I want to make sure all is my dots line up. I know that I can change the phase and that moves the location of the dots. Is there a way to ensure my dots line up as they should in a shape. Here are some pics.

[Print]

I am using my ipad when I try to print it is off by like 10 mm. Sometimes it works and some times it does not. Any tips or tricks on how to fix it. 

[Line]

😅 that’s so annoying! You would think it would just do it automatically..

I am using the line tool. I want to make sure all is my dots line up. I know that I can change the phase and that moves the location of the dots. Is there a way to ensure my dots line up as they should in a shape. Here are some pics. Of what I am trying to get done. 

[Contour tool]

When I add a shape like a square. I want to add 3 mm as an offset. when I do so the main line of the square disappears on me... Not sure how to make it show. 

[Dash line]

Nice that worked. 1mm and then entering 4 in the box gave me the spacing I needed. 

[Dash line]

Nice! now how am I able to get the spacing to 4 mm? I tried that and still when I put the number 4 in the second box or also the first and second box it does not measure it accurately. My Document is also set up in mm. All I need is to when I make a square shape. for the - - - - - to be exactly at 4 mm apart. 

[Dash line]

Ok, So I have a couple of questions. First off I am a leatherworker and most of the stuff I am trying to do is pretty simple. I use Adobe illustrator and it works out great. You guys almost offer the same things. 

 

First question.  Do you offer something like the pathfinder in adobe illustrator.? 

 

Second, I am having such a hard time with the stoke tool. or the dashed line ------. Everything is in Pt (measurements) I want it to be in (MM) So for example,

 

if I want my dashes to be 4mm apart (-  -  -  -  -  -  -) What adjustments do I do to the dashed line? There are four boxes that all do something. and then to the far right, there is a phase option not sure if that matters or not. 

 

In adobe, I am just able to set my document to MM size. And then enter the number I want in the first box and it does the trick. basically, is there a way to change the pt measurements to mm.? 

 

[Creating a new brush (Stich line)]

I am trying to create a new brush with the following measurements. 

1mm 1 mm 

spacing 4 mm 

with a 45 degree angle. 

Should look something like this. 

/ / / / / / 

I am so close. I was able to get it figured out but it is still not there. Not sure what to put for the following things. 

brush width

size variance

opacity variance

pressure head

offset tail offset.

 

I will attach some pictures. 

[Pen tool and the corner tool.]

I have created some shapes using only the pen tool. I am trying to figure out how to round the corners using the corner tool. I can figure it out. I have toreid to group all over the lines and then converted them to curves still does not seem to work. I have attached what I am working on down below. I simply just want to round off some of the corners. 

[Affinity Designer]

I am trying to open a pdf and this is what keeps coming up. 

[Icons]

The second thing was it thanks. 

[Icons]

I not sure what happen. The icons are all grey and no longer have color to them. Is there a way to get the color back or reset it? 

[Different line styles]

I use affinity designer to make leather patterns. My question is can I use a different style for the line? I would like to use the (Oblique style) (/) I have a european style pricking irons. I see there is only a sold line option and then a dash option. I am trying to make a stitch line. I want to make / all around the square shape. 

[Pathfinder]

I see, that works! Now can I use a different style for the line? I would like to use the (Oblique style) (/) I have a european style pricking irons. I see there is only a sold line option and then a dash option. 

[Pathfinder]

I use this platform to create leather pattern. In adobe I have seen people use pathfinder to create a path inside of a shape to show the stiching. It is called offset path. They then set to 3 mm or 4 mm depending on how you want your stiching to look.  Is there a way for me to be able to do something similar or the same thing on affinity Designer? 

[Light room presets]

Hello, I am new to Affinity photo. I am just wanting to know if there is a way to download lightroom presets. Or other presets that are available on the internet. There are some really cool presets that I would like to buy and use in affinity photo how can I download them into affinity photo?

[Shapes and the pen tool]

Thank you! that makes since to why it was not working for me. I wonder why it has that problem. Hopefully they fix it soon. It is annoying because it makes it so much more easy for me to know that thety are the exact same shape without doing more work haha. Thank you for your help. 

[Shapes and the pen tool]

Okay, So this is what I am trying to do. I make a square I then use the pen tool to make a shape or draw something. I then select the entire square and click on geometry and then divide. I then just select the top of the scare that I would like to remove and hit cut or delete. That all works great and I am able to do it.  I then do the same thing. I make a square I then use the pen tool again here is the tricky part I am trying to use the (NODE) tool to adjust or get the desired shape or form I want right. Same thing to me.. Anyway this time I select everything I click on geometry and then divide as soon as I do that two lines shoot out and change the shape that I created using the NODE tool. Not sure why. I also tired groping the shape I made before I click on divide and try to cut of the top of the shape. It just deletes the shape I created. Anyways, the problem comes in when I try to use the NODE tool to adjust the shape I want. Everything works with just using the PEN tool. The PEN is fine I am able to make a shape and then click on geometry, Divide select the top of the square and cut it out. The shape I made with the PEN tool stays and it looks great. The problem is when I try to bring in the NODE tool.... that is when things go bad and everything gets all wired when I click on divide and then try to cut the top of the square to just keep the shape I made using the NODE AND PEN TOOL. 

[Shapes and the pen tool]

Can someone please help me figure this out. I am trying to make a cool design with the pen tool but as soon as I hit geometry, divide and try to cut the top of the square it doesn’t do it. Here is a video to show what I am trying to do. 

[Shapes and the pen tool]

I kind of figured it out but, then I didn’t..
