Version 2.0.3 and this still occurs with pixel selection and artboard issues

I first discovered this issue selecting a JPG and trying to reverse selection. As seen in the video it works on the original artboard but not the subsequent ones. In the video I’m not trying to select anything just demonstrating that it reverses correctly on artboard 1 but not on 3

I see the option to invert pixel selection but when I select it, it does not invert correctly and instead selects a nearby art board

I too would love if it snapped. There is no other way to curve objects around a path other than warp. Text can be placed along a curved path but not shapes and vector objects. I often import text from Canva as an svg to use their font bank but then I cannot curve the letters accurately

Thought I was going crazy since i was unable to find this feature on ipad

Thank you! That was extremely helpful. Still confused by all the blank layers but that may have resulted due to my ignorance.

This is my issue but I don’t know how to open a svg file after I’ve already started a document. Also i do not have a version saved before adding the artboard

Thanks I trust you guys will get it all worked out, I’m patient 👍

I was working on a design and i didn’t currently have an artboard. I wanted to add one so I did. Suddenly all my layers were blank? Also I don’t know why svg files must be double tapped to expand it out into all the layers and shapes but it will randomly revert back. In the attached video I show this issue. Important to note I was designing with the text imported as an svg file and the rest was added via shape and pencil tools. When I tried to add the artboard it randomly combined it all into one ‘svg’ layer. IMG_0268.MOV

I am having the same issue with lens filter on photo V2 on ipad

Thank you! I was thinking about using canva to create my text and then export as an svg as well.

Update: when i save that same file that is attached above, which i started on desktop, the boolean functions no longer work. When I open a new project on ipad, create arttext, convert to curves, and then perform boolean operations such as subtract and divide, it works.

Nevermind there is a problem with boolean operations on the ipad, but if you convert the text to curves on the ipad its fine. IIRC you could use art text + vectors or shapes and boolean functions would work on V1. However, on the desktop version, both art text or converting art text to curves cause problems with boolean operation

I replied with this in a different post but i am making this post individual because this is an extremely frustrating bug. Project file is attached and the video explains the problem. This problem does NOT persist on the ipad version affinity text vector boolean bug.mp4 affinity typography proj.afdesign
