  1. In addition to R C-R's advice, change brush opacity from 30% to 100% near the left end of the context toolbar.
  2. Shift+drag the red point to separate the start and end widths. Remember to read the hints at the bottom of the window. separate.mp4
  3. You seem to be missing the modifier key hints at the bottom of the window. On a Mac, ctrl-drag the Transform Origin to use it as a handle. That functionality has been in the apps for about 5 years.
  4. The paired nodes are necessary for providing control of the size of the bevel at a given corner.
  5. Yes, an old Affinity problem. If I remember correctly, good stroke expansion in Affinity requires the distance between nodes to be a minimum of 0.5 document pixels. (Affinity's internal unit of measure is pixel.) You can either temporarily scale up the object in order to do the expansion, or you can temporarily increase the document pixel density (termed DPI in the document properties) in order to do the expansion.
  6. To me, the sentence seemed to refer to the elusive ability to snap an edge of one object to any edge of another object rather than an object's bounding box.
  7. The feature seems to be working 'by design', as Serif would say. The auto-close threshold is a constant distance in screen space rather than document space, and so it becomes smaller in relation to the object's displayed size as the zoom increases. Notice that the red loop symbol is about the same length as the pencil pointer at the moment it first appears, regardless of zoom. The 'harder to see' is simply the poor contrast of red on the black of the stroke. As you zoom in, the black becomes more expansive until the red loop is never being presented on white.
  8. Note that my somehow unhelpful video showed exactly the same technique but done with Move Tool which is available in all Affinity apps.
  9. Yes, I should have added that. PTT is actually one of my favourite tools in Affinity.
  10. There is a way with the Move Tool. An object's Transform Origin can be used as a handle. Snap it to the object's path and then use it as a handle for dragging the object until it snaps to another object's path. snapping.mp4
  11. That's correct when a document isn't 32 bits per channel. I thought it unlikely your documents would be 32 bpc, but it was a possibility, hence my advice regarding the panel.
  12. If your Affinity documents are 32 bits per channel, ensure ICC Display Transform is enabled in the 32-bit Preview panel.
