[Designer: How do I subtract including stroke?]

I have two shapes...

I want to cut out the yellow circle, so the result is like this:

But whan I chose subtract, only the size of the red circle is subtracted. I need the size of the red circle including its white stroke to be subtracted.

How do I do this?

Thanks.

[Add exported filename to slices]

You can customize the slice file output naming in the Export Persona under the top "path components" settings via a combination of text and the available variables. See also this thread where some of these things are discussed inside:

 

 

Thank you for answering my post.

 

Not exactly what I'm looking for.

 

When you click "Export slices" a save-dialog appears ... the name you enter as filename in this dialog, that is the name I want to prefix on all slices.

[Add exported filename to slices]

Hi

 

I'm using Affinity Designer to create icons.

 

I a single layer, I have an icon with 7 sizes.

 

My slices names as like this:

 

_16x16

_32x32

_64x64

 

etc.

 

When I'm in the Export Persona, I select "Slices" and clicks "Export slices", then I enter a name like "MyIcon".

 

Is there a way to tell Affinity Designer to merge the exported filename "MyIcon" into the slicename, så the slice names will end up as...

 

MyIcon_16x16

MyIcon_32x32

MyIcon_64x64

 

...?

 

That way I can reuse the layer, change the icons and export it with a new name like "MyNewIcon" and it will automatically export slices as ..

 

MyNewIcon_16x16

MyNewIcon_32x32

MyNewIcon_64x64

 

I would like to call the slice names something like...

 

{filename}_16x16

{filename}_32x32

{filename}_64x64

 

etc.

 

Thanks

[Designer should support WMF export]

I work in both Mac and Windows and I'm using Illustrator to convert EPS to WMF .... but the result is terrible.

 

Maybe you guys at Affinity could do a better job than Adobe and support export to WMF with a result that looks exactly like the EPS.

 

:)

 

Thank you for making AWESOME products!

[Slice larger than object??]

I click "Export Persona" -> Layers (in the palette) and then select the layer and click "Create Slice".

 

But I found out, that selecting the layer and clicking "Create Slice" will make a 258x258 slice, but if I expand the layer and click the Rectangle and click "Create Slice" then it's 256x256 ... so there's obviously a difference from making a slice from the layer to making a slice of the rectangle itself.

 

:)

 

Thanks for your help.

[Slice larger than object??]

Hi,

 

Thanks for helping me out here! :)

 

I tried what you said, and now the slice is 258x258 ... I simply can't make it 256x256.

 

I've attached a new sample - can you see what I do wrong?

 

Thanks a million!

 

 

Update: 

 

If I open your sample and click "Revert to auto sized" in the slice-toolbar, then your sample is 259x259.

 

This is strange.

[Slice larger than object??]

Hi,

 

Please see attached test file.

 

If I create a rectangle and sets the size 256x256.

 

Now I create a slice of that layer, but the slice is automatically set to 259x259.

 

Why is the slice not the same size as the rectangle (256x256)?

 

Thanks
