  1. I am the biggest fan of Affinity but to be honest, floor plans are a speciality subject and the last things to attempt using Affinity as there is no real support for dimension lines etc. I would recommend LiveHome3D on your iPad/Mac and Windows instead as you would get a 3d render of a room as well as being able record walkthrough videos, decorate and furnish etc. Screen Recording 2024-03-29 at 11.49.20.mov
  2. Ok, shopping bag or lock symbol I still think it means you are not supposed to be able to mess them up? Moving brushes on the iPad takes no time at all, you left swipe and select move and re-arrange brushes to your hearts content, only on these shopping bag brushes when you left swipe the move option is greyed out. The export and import gives you a second set of brushes that are not linked to the store so you can customise them how you please, apparently. RPReplay_Final1711710778.mp4
  3. Look at the brushes category name to tell you which are locked and which are not locked. What you can do is tap the hamburger icon at the top right and export the locked brushes category, rename them then import them back in.and you will see the lock symbol will vanish (whether this is supposed to happen or not !) . Note this tends to lock Affinity up (a sign that we are not allowed to do this but can?) but once you close it down and reopen the duplicated brushes category is available unlocked so you can move things about.
  4. 2nd solution, export full PDF with your required export quality settings then from files app, print select pages then share to a new pdf like this. RPReplay_Final1711658551.mov
  5. I must apologies I think I went down the wrong garden path here, I think for your CNC machine you have no need of the frets in your design since your CNC cuts out a solid object? Returning to your original guitar shape my solution is to draw the outline to your correct dimensions with a minimal visible stroke, then use the vector fill tool to create a solid object, then set the stroke to zero. Export as a single solid shape SVG to your cutting system. So in answer to your question no point in filling in all of the details unless they serve some purpose on your cutting machine. joining vectors.svg joining vectors.afdesign
  6. Just found one solution for one of my Facebook group members, use Print then Share then Save to Files. My project (13).mov
  7. For your example there is no real change in dimensions. RPReplay_Final1711496322.mp4
  8. SVG’s for CRICUT and other systems must be a simple closed paths not strokes. As you have found there is no way to describe a t-junction in vector graphics hence, we draw it, then expand to curves so that each stroke is a shape. Once they are shapes we can add and subtract etc to create a simple SVG that other systems can work from. Not sure if that answers your question as I have only discovered this myself after a question in my facebook groups (in my signature) recently. RPReplay_Final1711379657.mp4
  9. Just temporarily add two extra circles or squares then distribute evenly. e.g. RPReplay_Final1711356941.mp4 RPReplay_Final1711357318.mp4
  10. Try watching this video, the secret is to replace all curves with shapes by using expand stroke on your entire design. If all your lines become shapes then it is easy to join shapes using the geometry operations, so that your entire guitar outline and frets become a single shape. joining vectors.afdesign joining vectors.svg
  11. Another app that is not a competitor to Affinity, more a DAM competitor to Apple Photos or Lightroom, however I’m sorry but it would not be appropriate for me to mention it in these forums, I mention it solely to encourage Serif developers to look again at the Apple Photos API provided by Apple to improve the iPad apps.
  12. The iPad version of the app cannot access the raw image in a raw+jpg image, hopefully a future update will resolve this. It is possible on iPadOS as shown in screenshot below from another iPad app, the missing functions are “Revert” and ability to select the RAW or the JPG when editing as the desktop version can also do. For now I recommend change camera settings to RAW only if you want to use RAW or JPG if you want the RAW developed by the camera manufacturer.
  13. 1. You did try closing all open apps and doing a Forced Restart (not just off then on) https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/ipad/ipad9955c007/ipados 2. Do you have a VPN active? if so turn it off. 3. Can you screenshot Settings -> General -> iPad Storage 4. Try General -> Transfer or Reset iPad -> Reset -> Reset All Settings (you won't lose any apps or data, just your wallpapers, wifi passwords etc)
  14. You are using Designer, rather than use pixel persona have you considered using vector fills instead? You might be better off using Affinity Photo if you want to do pixel work, then transferring to designer for you symbol work. Demo of vector fill in designer iPad. RPReplay_Final1710794956.mp4
  15. From what @NathanC reports, sounds like you may have more luck changing to use another cloud service, I have seen many issues with Google Drive on iOS/iPadOS, it seems the worst performing cloud storage compared to iCloud, Dropbox and Onedrive on Apple devices.
  16. Do it like this, you must long press using your finger and not the apple pencil to set the source location, notice the small + as I use my finger to set and change source location. RPReplay_Final1710748205.mp4
  17. Here is how to crop photos in Photo, simply use any shape, here I use a rectangle but also play with using circles etc. My project (10).mp4
  18. Ah good, so teething problem with iPadOS 17.4 app store so good. I won't test it by deleting the app just yet though although I did take a backup to my Mac yesterday for the first time this year just in case.
  19. I have reported to Apple using the feedback app that the apps are missing. Yes they are in the apps section but this is what I see when I try to download. It maybe something wrong with my 15 years old account but don’t think so.
  20. Unless Apple/Serif fixes things, the V1 apps seem to have been deleted from the app store database. Not even an icon shown here.
  21. Looks to be new with iPadOS 17.4 Alfred, all purchases not just iPad.
