Cool! Thanks a lot!

[How to draw a guitar pick - Affinity Designer]

Sorry, if my question is too stupid or doesn't belong here.

 

I want to design a guitar pick in AD, based on a triangle, with all sides being exactly the same. I tried messing with circles, triangles, heart shapes,

but whatever I did - I couldn't get all sides to look the same. Is there a tutorial that shows me how to make an object with exactly the same dimensions on all (in this case) three sides?

See the attached picture

 

Thanks

[Affinity Designer - SVG Object size (bug)?]

It's a proprietary online thing that's online / web site for my cutter (Glowforge).

I exported also a PDF from Affinity. Then it works perfectly.

What's weird is that the SVG measurements are also off in Inkscape (everything stays relative in size though)

[Affinity Designer - SVG Object size (bug)?]

Hi,

I've drawn an object in Affinity Designer which has an exact size that I want it to print (respectively cut it in).

In order to do that, I take the file, export it as an SVG file and upload that to my cutter. I first thought that my cutter reads something wrong, cause the size was off - the object was larger than it shoud have been. I work with a document that set to Millimeters instead of inches - if that makes a difference.

 

Then I imported the object into Inkscape and noticed that the size in the SVG file was actually not correct. So I resized the thing in Inkscape, sent it to the cutter and got the right size. So either I'm doing something wrong in Affinity Designer or there's a bug.

 

Is that a known issue? Is there a workaround (in Affinity Designer, without the extra step of resizing the object in Inkscape)

 

Thanks

[Newbie question - offset path]

Hi,

 

I just bought Affinity Designer today and tried to do what in Illustrator would be an offset path.

Googling for a solution I found, that this function is not available in AD.

 

To be honest, I'm not sure if I really understand the workarounds when you want to grow an object,

but in my case, I have a vector shape that I want to make smaller and have the smaller vector shape have the same distance from the outline of the bigger vector at all points, so I can't just create a copy, resize it and center it in the larger vector object.

 

Is there a way to do this in Affinity Designer?

 

Thanks,

M.
