Thanks for all the help. This is awesome! And makes it so simple. The Erase Blend mode works like a charm!

h_d, thank you for the reply. That definitely simulates what I am trying to achieve. But I was hoping to make the Question Mark not just appear transparent, but actually be a cutout so that no matter what background appears behind it, it would show through. Is there a way to do that? Sorry if that was not clear at the beginning.

Yeah, that would kind of do it, but I am really just trying to figure out how to cut out the Question Mark shape from the dot pattern, irrespective of the background.

YES! How can I do that?

Thanks for the response, but I am actually wanting the reverse effect. To keep the dot pattern on the outside and have the Question Mark be clear of dots and show only the blue color. Is there a way to do that? I can fake it by making the Question mark the color of the shirt. But I would actually like to have the Question Mark completely cut out (transparent).

I have a vector pattern of dots that is a Group. Over top of that I have a Question Mark shape. I would like cut the Question Mark shape to be cut out of the dot pattern in the background. Can someone help me with this? Ultimately I would like the white Question Mark shape to be removed from the dot pattern so that the background t-shirt shows through. Thanks you for any insight.

Agreed. They have had this carrot hanging out for quite some time. It is disheartening to know it was not added.

The free beta of VectorStyler is very help in filling the gap where Affinity Designer lacks a Mesh Distortion/Warp/Transform tool. I was able to create a shape, warp it and then just copy and paste into Designer as an editable vector. Screen_Recording_2019-11-14_at_11_16.27_AM.mov

Wow, these are incredible. Not a Warp Mesh, but could be very helpful. Screen_Recording_2019-11-14_at_10_32.41_AM.mov

That did the trick! Gracias

I have cut a shape and need the ends of the line that create the shape to lean at same angle the shape leans. I can achieve this by overlaying a white image on the line, but I need the entire piece of artwork to have a transparent background, not white. Anyone know how to do this without overlaying an opaque image? See attached images.

The text looks like it was transformed to fit the circular label. Is there a tool in Designer that will do that?

The Video on this page under point #10 for Alternate Futures shows a record image with the words Alternate Futures as the record label.
