Fixed by adding a white background to afdesign file (with a simple white rectangle covering whole dartboard), and then moving the white rectangle to the back layer.
 
There is probably a better way to do this, but at least it works.

How to cut and paste between two open AP windows?
 
First let me describe what I want to do by an alternate (non AP) method.
 
Say you have two open windows in AP, where you want to copy the color legend
in the window 1 plot image onto the plot image in window 2.
 
I use the grab application  in the MAC  utility tool box and clip out  (copy) the legend
in window 1 and then simply paste it into the appropriate spot in the window 2 plot image.
 
How can I do this same operation using the AP tools?
 
I tried using the AP crop tool (in place of the Mac's grab utility), but when I tried
to paste the cropped legend into window 2, it ended up being a huge sized legend (maybe 5 times the original size), 
with undesirable large gaps  between the handles and pasted legend  .
 
Using the grab utility app on the Mac did not change the size of the pasted legend and had nice desirable tight gaps between the handles and legend.

I have a .svg file plot of a curve with various text titles and axis labels on the graphic.
 
I want to reduce the overall height of the graphic while preserving the aspect ratio of text titles and curve labels.
 
when i do this now with AFFINITY but squeezing down the handles, the resulting reduced curve and axis stuff looks ok but the text labels look flattened.
 
When I do this same operation inside the MATLAB post processing package, it does preserve the aspect ratio while reducing only the height, so there is an example of where it is possible .
 
I would like to do it in Affinity.
 
 
As a side question:
is there a percent reduction tool of some sort that can be applied to a graphic where the user enters the percent reduction desired in both the x and y directions separately, e.g. like the one in Adobe Illustrator?
 
 

After posting my question, I turned on the Greek keyboard on the Mac .
Then had access to all characters in all font types.
 
This worked fine.
 
I am using affinity
designer on LATEST OSX.
