Thomaso, thank you very much for the extra knowledge, I'm sure they will be helpful when they cross my work path during another process. Meanwhile I already got the answer or the clarity for a particular issue, so that's out of the way. I'm good, sir. Thank you. Moving on.

With all due respect, I do. But in the end, it's the user's prerogative which intention works for a specific process. Customers who post on this forum are likely, AI users, who are naturally transitioning or adopting to Serif's technology. Some may work, some not. And there'll be more to unravel. But differing is not necessarily opposing. If you were a sales rep for Serif, you'll be turning off many customers. But all forums have members that are too invested in frenzied, meaningless and endless debate, more into disproving a point than exploring differing approaches. I got my answer, but like any new customers, I alone decide what works.

So, two panels to delete a stroke is better than just one? I don't disagree with your personal preference, but this is not about you, in the first place. I will avoid using Affinity if I'm doing a complicated vector graphic where sometimes I would need to delete strokes. I already know the answer and the intention behind it and I'm not dissing Affinity for it, but it's the user's choice what software works better for a specific project. I'll stick to just one panel to delete a stroke, thank you.

Like this? I don't have Sean's similar brush in AI, but that's beside the point. I'm not drumming up for Illustrator, it's just that Illustrator came first and I, like many others, are more used to AI's way with the COLOR PANEL that (for the umpteenth time) NONE should mean NONE. Whatever the technology, intention behind it or if that's Affinity's way of doing it, I'm glad to know. I'm just a customer (a newbie) seeking an explanation or a solution (thank you very much) for something I may not have fully understood, hoping that others that follow AI's way as I do, may learn too. I did not post the issue looking for a fight. In the end, as a customer, I decide whether the tech fulfills my need, for certain steps, so I could find better ways. For the record, I love Affinity and I will continue to explore its potential.

The issue is about the color panel not able to delete stroke color, needing another panel (stroke panel) to complete the task of deleting stroke color to none. The comparison to Illustrator is for future improvement, which is just a suggestion.

Adobe Illustrator makes more sense then. Its STROKE PANEL pertains only to the line's width and style, not the color. The COLOR PANEL is ultimate, where NONE means NONE, therefore is more straight forward and logical: no default color to fall back to and deal with another panel. This is crucial when dealing with multiple objects, the color panel should be enough.

Thanks NotMyFault. I activated STROKE COLOR and deactivated it over and over, DID NOT WORK. What WORKED: I ticked off the STYLE to NONE in STROKE PANEL. But my complain is, this is not straight-forward. Any novice should feel rest assured that the COLOR PANEL is enough.

"but you also have a brush applied to the layer" (?????) That I don't get. There's only one layer for the object that has got the stroke "problem". The color wheel indicates the stroke's and the fill's colors. If the stroke color is NONE, that should be king. The second explanation is even more complicated for me. If "using the last-used-settings" is how the software has been designed for, to get rid of the unwanted border becomes too much to ask for then? Anyway, thanks for the help. I'll read this again tomorrow, maybe a fresher mind might help.

Thanks GarryP. I see. But both still qualify as bugs, right? Because NONE should be none, whether there's a default (which is strange by itself) or none; and the latter should not revert back to the last used command if you tick out the stroke color to NONE.

Stroke does not delete (1st pic). What I do is I drag stroke bar to zero which is a band aid solution. Also, my placed image (2nd pic) has stroke around border when I did not. I wonder if this bug is unique to me because I can't find the same problem on the forum. This happens to me all the time. Thanks in advance for the solution.

Thank you very much for the very kind words. I worked for a newspaper and most of my works there were done in a rush. I'm also new to Affinity and was surprised about how Serif is bringing vector to a new level. Very impressed. I'm more than ten years behind in vector art since leaving the newsroom in 2011. Thanks again. https://edagawin.carbonmade.com/ Here's my latest art:

Half of a masthead I'm working on using Affinity Designer for the very first time. All vector oil brushes including Outstanding Oil Brushes, Ult Brush Toolbox, Sav's AD brushes, CD Monet and default oil. My website: https://edagawin.carbonmade.com/ and IG: https://www.instagram.com/edagawin/

It worked, finally. I just unticked the group layer, chose all the curves and ticked the "scale with object" button again and saved the document. Then copied and pasted on the background art and it worked. Sorry for the false alarm.

I used Sav's AD Texture Brushes and Ult Brush Toolbox - Oil and ticked the "Scale with object" button. I tried grouping the curves and unticked then ticked the button again. I checked curves individually, all failed. This is just for the swan drawing and I need to scale the whole art when done. Please help, thanks.

I did find this disappointing. It's very tiring to keep on clicking the "clean brush" button for every stroke. At the least, there should be a short cut key to clean up brush.
