  1. Hi henryanthony Yes it can be done like that but that's not the triangle tool. I mentioned this method in my first post. Thanks for doing the reply
  2. Hi henryanthony I just opened up Affinity version 1, and no it doesn't create a equilateral triangle with the shift key held down, it creates an isosceles triangle like Aammppaa has mentioned above.
  3. Hi henryanthony, Not in Designer 2 to get 3 equal sides, well not on my PC windows 11.
  4. Hi v_kyr t, thanks for replying again & the effort in answering. If I used your triangles in a precise geometric drawing I'd end up with issues as they too are not true equilateral, the first with the protractors is 60.1 & -60.1 degrees the 2nd is 60.4 & -60.4 degrees. In my (messy) attached image is what I mean. I took off your red lines & put a stroke on your triangle duplicated it & converted the right one to curves. I broke the curves using the node tools, then selected the lines to see if it was a true equilateral which it isn't. This is sort of my point that I want to be able to create a true equilateral from the triangle shape tool panel. Like shown, my triangle is from existing assets which is a true one but it's a hassle finding it when I need it. Even locking keys like shift+alt or extra tools would help, but just add the equilateral in the presets or allow me to create one.
  5. Hi v_kyr, I think the the point here is, In my original post I presumed it wasn't an equilateral triangle, in my 2nd post I show the description I was referring to which states that an Equilateral Triangle should have equal length sides. The Affinity triangle shape tool doesn't create that by default, well not for me. I believe walt.farrel is also saying my description of equal sides is correct too, unless I have misinterpreted what he's meaning (then sorry walt if I've misquoted you).
  6. Hi v_kyr thanks for replying. My bad, I was going off a description here https://search.brave.com/search?q=equilateral triangle&source=alteredQuery&spellcheck=0 where it said all sides were of equal length which is what I wanted I do have the Equilateral Triangle as an asset but it would be easier to have it as a shape
  7. Lately I've needed to create/insert/make Equilateral Triangles. You would think you could go to the triangle shape & presto make an Equilateral Triangle. But no you have to go to a different shape maker than triangle to make a triangle like Alfred has said Here . You can't even create one and save it as a preset as Dan_C has said Here - Why? Dan says because you already have the shape so can't generate a new preset, but I don't have an Equilateral Triangle and why can't I make 2 of them anyway? The right angle two tringles in there already are the same triangle in reverse. So they really are two of the same shape. Why do I have to go to a different shape maker than the shape it is, to make a shape that should already exist? Come on Affinity fix the "Create Preset" or add the Equilateral Triangle as a default shape - Please.
  8. Hi loukash Good reply, yes I have lots of line/stroke assets saved already but as you've named it a "Global Stroke Library" would be far better/easier. I change assets quite a lot & then have to find the lines again, it becomes quite cumbersome & annoying.
  9. I know you can save stroke profiles during the period the document is open. But it would be better (for me) to have a permanent save so they are available always.
  10. I'm not sure if this helps or is the same issue. I too have had issues with what you are saying (sometimes). I find if I select a different document tab(if another is open) or open a browser or select a different app then go back to affinity the canvas is clipped. I have this similar issue in the resize document as well, where the resize doesn't happen until I follow the steps I suggested above, even though the resize dialog box is closed & finished. This only started happening in version 2.
  11. PaulEC No the move tool should never be removed, that would also be insane. It is the primary tool to select & move objects & elements & to drill down into layers, etc. If it were once like a new doc, I had to keyboard or click. That would be tolerable, but things like cropping & then it defaults to the 'MOTHER-n-LAW' tool, insane.
  12. WHY WHY WHY ✋! My poor computer just received another load of verbal abuse today. This is becoming a regular occurrence all because of this stupid hand/view tool in Photo. It's driving me insane. This tool is nothing but an obstruction to efficient work. We should refer to this tool as the 'MOTHER-n-LAW' tool! The amount of wasted clicks & time it uses is beyond belief. What is serif/affinity thinking by not addressing this issue urgently? It seems like an easy fix to achieve. Are you doing this on purpose serif by not fixing this? The quick temporary fix/answer should be to make the MOVE Tool the default tool! In the future, developers could make it more dynamic with additional options, such as selecting a default tool or making the first tool the default, as suggested in other posts.
  13. Yes I have the same issue, pins be un-pinned when opened. I'm using windows 11.
  14. I'm having black BG issue when exporting as svg too, but only sometimes, I'm using version 2.0.4 And sometimes with downloaded svg files too.
  15. SOLVED Thanks for replying Alfred. Okay now I'm not so stressed, I'm not a photo guy just a quick rough graphics guy. Where or how would I find the Exif data? Now you've enlightened me I have rasterized & trimmed the image & it is now showing the correct dimensions. For anyone who has this issue: Right click the image either on the canvas or in the layers panel & select rasterized & trim & that should correct the image.
