Sort of makes sense. Anyway, the problem I had is sorted now - I just have to have a stroke width greater than zero

It seems that get this behaviour only when I have the pen width set to the (default) of 0. Then it behaves that way. See video of what happens.

A bug, or intended behaviour? RPReplay_Final1711132787.mp4

I’ll have to look up how to do that on iPad - maybe not until tomorrow as I’m busy on other things most of today. Thanks for the suggestion.

I’ll look again at that, but thought I had.

I'm trying to learn Affinity Designer 2 (AD2) from scratch. I want to draw straight lines on a Dimetric Grid to start learning how to draw simple objects in AD2 before getting more complicated. I select the Pen tool, select Line mode, and start to draw. I'm trying to draw a cube in 2D on a Dimetric grid. I have Snap to node and Snap to Grid on, and the grid showing. I have Preserve selection (don't really know what that does) on, and Add to Curves on. Join was on, I accidentally turned it off, and now it won't come on again. I get part way through drawing a cube, and suddenly each new line I draw deletes (or perhaps just hides?) a previous one. All that's left is the outside of the drawing. All the interior lines have disappeared. And now only the last line I drew has highlighted nodes. The other lines in the overall outline have no visible nodes. How can I stop this happening? I've searched the forum for Pen Tool and iPad, and get no results. Help, please. Until I figure this out, I can't see how to use this powerful tool to make quick sketches of woodworking objects. PS. I have read Quick Start and am now trying the Help, to understand lines and curves.
