[Subtract from the edge of stroke]

Well, If you're going to align stroke to the inside, I think it would be wise to halve the stroke width, no? ;)

No - not in my opinion because for instance the size is correct if you have the cut outside and not centered.

But everyone has its own workflow.  :D

The right example is working for me as I showed in my previously reply.

Huh? Why not?

[Affinity Vs. AI]

Will the quality be the same?  I haven't tried PDF printing yet, but I'm about to open a store and need prints, menu's and pictures galore.  

All the online printing service companies I used to use only accept PDF ( PDF (PDF/X1a or PDF 1.3), JPG, TIFF, EPS, PS (not to mention CMYK-colors are essentially required) - but no open documents.

If you don´t mind to use "Align Stroke to Inside" it should work as expected:

[How to make a text link to a url with AD?]

While the SVG standard supports linking you can try to edit the file in a text-editor and add it manually.

Should look like something as:

 

id="a8232"

       target=""

       xlink:href="https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/20679-can-i-add-links-to-slices-in-ad/">

      <image

         onclick="https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/20679-can-i-add-links-to-slices-in-ad/"

         width="66.585808"

         height="66.585808"

         preserveAspectRatio="none"

         xlink:href="data:image/

I attached a example file here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/20679-can-i-add-links-to-slices-in-ad/

(If you don´t mind you can use Inkscape for that purpose)

[Can I add links to slices in AD?]

Out of curiosity, which export formats that Affinity supports also support embedded, clickable web links? I believe PDF can but I'm not sure about any of the others.

SVG supports linking.

Open the attached SVG in your browser (just tested on Safari/SeaMonkey) and click the image (will lead you to this thread).

[Arranging shapes on a path]

More troubling, other times most or all the circles ended up with 6 nodes, with two opposing pairs of very closely spaced ones instead of a single one in each position. (See screenshot "baked corners 2")

Mmmh - I got well "node-spreaded" circles with this method:

 

Cheers

P.

[Arranging shapes on a path]

Yes - good point. I didn´t explore the "Square Star Tool" that much it seems.  :D

(Having it non-destructive would be a cool addition of course or the ability to scale/transform selected objects independently)

[Arranging shapes on a path]

I wonder how you guys handle same amount but different diameter of the circles without adding a stroke then?

[How to join points? Am I that much missing something?]

Just take my reply as a hint on "winding rules" of Bèzier-splines - I know nothing about your workflow.

[How to join points? Am I that much missing something?]

Wasn´t aware of the shape was one at the beginning and got destroyed - then he could get back in History no?

[How to join points? Am I that much missing something?]

When you reverse one curve before you´re joining the two it´s just 2 clicks: Join+close.

[Novice Confusion over Vectors!]

Seems the advise you received is a bit vague. If you´re expecting Affinity Designer will draw it for you ("autotracing" is what you´re looking for maybe) this isn´t possible yet. If you want to trace it manually then all the tools are there. For the scan: Preview.app can help to improve your raster image for sure - but´s not necessary for manual tracing.

[Revert to original file [Designer]]

Why not put each changes into a  separate group - you can toggle on off for export and have all progress in one file - no?

[Move node and keep node handle anchored in place]

Please let us access the guides without switching tools like other vektor.apps do.

Thanks for listening.

[Move node and keep node handle anchored in place]

I wished handles would at least snap to something at all.  ;)  (so you can mark it´s position and let it snap after moving the point at least)

Is there a way to enable guides with the Node-Tool? I find it laborious to switch back and force Move- and Node-tool while I have to because I can´t see the handles when in Move-mode - so to speak. So how do you align a guide to a node?
