Hi Walt, by vector I mean a path object. See attachment. At the moment if I press shift I ignore apect ratio. While working at some point it becomes "press shift to keep aspect ratio" and I can't figure out why. Thanks in advance, Ema sample doc shift to ignore aspect ratio.afdesign

I'm transforming a vector object via the corner nodes. I sometimes have to hold shift down to keep proportions, sometimes it's with ctrl.

Hmm, is it this setting in the screenshot - "Constrain by default"? It doesn't seem to work for me. I still need to use Shift to constrain. Kind regards, Ema

I've been also looking for this and found that the solution is as simple as it was in Paint Use the paint bucket tool, called Flood fill tool [G] in Affinity Designer.

Thank you @Old Bruce! I'll try building the next pattern this way. Ema

@firstdefence, thank you for your quick reply! I'm using Affinity Designer for desktop. The tile that I built repeats half way, see image below. I would like to fill a big rectangle with this pattern to make a wallpaper. The fill tool makes this easy for simple repeats, but I would like to do the same with my half drop repeat pattern.

Hello, does anybody know if there is a way to fill an object with a half drop repeat pattern? While using the Fill tool > Bitmap, one can fill an object with a simple repeat pattern, but I can't find a way to fill it with a half drop repeat pattern. Thanks in advance, Ema
