The major issue when working between the iPad version and the desktop version is that you must not only save your file on the iPad but also Close the file on the iPad version - just as you would save on the desktop then Close on the desktop. Forgetting to do this will result in two versions of the file existing and not updating correctly. Hope this helps.

Machine Learning missing from iPad M2
Paul Mudditt replied to Bobby1127's topic in Other New Bugs and Issues in the Betas
Agreed, it should say the feature needs an Apple M series SOC (system on a chip) -

Problem with a test version V2
Paul Mudditt replied to Wolfgang Nolte's topic in Affinity on iPad Questions
You have a small iPad, the left hand toolbar will needs to be scrolled up to see the other tools or turn the iPad to Portrait mode. ScreenRecording_01-23-2025 9-46-27 am_1.mp4 -
darker transparent checkerboard
Paul Mudditt replied to DeadDragon's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
Simply add your own temporary fill layer at the bottom of the layer stack and make the canvas any colour you like is one option, adjust this layers opacity to adjust the checkerboards appearance. -
impaint does not work

Check your Assistant settings which can automatically carry out certain tasks such as rasterise depending upon what you are doing. -
impaint does not work
Paul Mudditt replied to Sauro's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
You must in the layers panel right click and select RASTERISE to convert any image layer to a pixel layer for any pixel tools to work. Also make sure you accidentally don’t have a pixel selection active by ^D to deselect first. -

A placed image layer is effectively like a vector layer, no matter how large or small you scale it, it always has its original resolution …… until …. you rasterise it so that it takes on your documents underlying pixel resolution. If you open an image directly by File->Open then the document resolution will be the image resolution and will be automatically converted to be a pixel layer. All the pixel tools require a pixel layer, adjustments are not pixel tools so will always work. -

Yes but the tiny little reference to left swipe is a bit lost in the word salad and should be highlighted more.

Remove double/tripple lines
Paul Mudditt replied to Glenn.Lawrence's topic in Affinity on iPad Questions
It would be helpful if you could upload one of your designs to test. You do not say what laser cutting machine you use or what format you export your design in but I have learnt that for other cutting machines you need to supply a single SVG which is constructed from shapes and never lines. Therefore there are several steps you have to take to expand strokes and use geometry to remove all lines. These are my notes for Cricut, which may or may not be relevant for your cutting machine. DESIGNER -> CRICUT NOTES So overall workflow to create an SVG suitable for CRICUT is:- 1. Draw it 2. Select all then convert to curves 3. Select ‘Objects -> Closed Curves’ then lock them and hide them temporarily 4. For each unclosed curve, select it then use node tool ‘join’ then node tool ‘close’: goto step 3. 5. Select ‘objects-> Closed Curves’ then Expand Stroke because all lines must eventually be shapes. Now there are 2 methods of proceeding, if the first method does not work try the second. Method 1 6. Select everything then use Geometry ADD 7. Export as SVG to CRICUT or whatever. Method 2 6. Select everything then Fill Holes 7. Select everything then XOR. 8. Export as SVG to CRICUT or whatever. Closing Curves Workaround If Closed curve results in new lines across the page, use ADD instead. RPReplay_Final1710523891.MP4 -
I apologize for the confusion. It seems like you’re transitioning from vector graphics using the pen tool to pixel graphics tools like the fill and erase brush. The context toolbar changes based on the tool you’re using, which might be causing you to believe it’s not working as expected. It might be more convenient to keep the layers panel open so you can easily see which layer you’re adding vectors to or which pixel layers you’re attempting to fill or erase.

Adobe Fonts in Affinity IPAD nutzen
Paul Mudditt replied to designenergie's topic in Affinity on iPad Questions
Ich weiß, dass Adobe ABR-Pinsel in Affinity einwandfrei funktionieren, aber ich kenne Adobe Creative Cloud nicht sehr gut, also kann vielleicht jemand anderes helfen. Sie schlagen jedoch vor, dass Ihnen die Schriftarten im Rahmen des Adobe-Abonnements zur Verfügung stehen, was wahrscheinlich bedeutet, dass Sie sie nicht in einer anderen Anwendung verwenden dürfen. Es gibt viele Schriftarten von Serif zum Herunterladen, aber auch im Internet google ich normalerweise einfach nach ihnen, wenn ich ihren Namen kenne, um zu sehen, ob eine kostengünstige/kostenlose Version verfügbar ist. I do know that Adobe ABR brushes work ok in Affinity but I do not know Adobe Creative Cloud very well so maybe someone else can help. However you suggest that the fonts are available to you as part of the Adobe subscription which likely means you are not allowed to use in another application. There are many fonts available from Serif for download but also on the internet I usually simply google for them if I know their name to see if a low cost/free version is available. -
Please can you do upload a screen recording as when I change colour using the colour control on the top context toolbar it works as expected in Designer and in Photo. Is is also helpful if you turn on "show touches" under Affinity settings so we can see what has gone wrong.
