    Finally, after a few hours (sometimes days😁), constantly saving as I go along, I see something developing... Often, it is not what I intended

    Now that rings a bell. That's exactly what I tend to do as well. I start out trying to create something but in the end it tends to be entirely different to what I had imagined. Sometimes my silly pictures end up exactly as I intended, but that's a rare beast indeed. Being a hobbyist myself (definitely not pro) I have a lot of fun passing the time trying to be creative, I tend to avoid AI at all costs because I want to retain control of each and every outcome of the things that I do - but that's me.

  2. When I look at your pictures I'm always reminded of Spirograph. 🙂

    Oh what fun I had with that! And I'm sure it's the same with you when you put these pictures together.

    The creator File is here...Just trying to establish its content!:

    I'm just a sucker for more information which I obviously don't know about.

    Those files, are they really big or really small? I know that vectors can be enlarged without loss, but what is a happy medium when it comes to a starting file size?

    It's not really a mistake..... It' just how the base fill turned out from the conversion (i.e. 'Fill Holes') Sometimes I just leave it in...

    The actual sketch is a bit wider for factory and does include a fill version. All these drawing with the exception of 'First' are interim sketches. So the final drawing could look a lot different (and I get lots of vector resources to mess with!)

    You can see it in the middle of the screen shot (all the objects are vector on screen)

    Same apples to Creator..it is just 1 element of an isometric drawing....have not finalised what it will ultlimately contain but there are other vectors just not shown

    Oh wow. . .I see what you mean.

    Fill Hole? Sounds dangerous to me.

    I'm just glad you got my humour concerning it. 😄

    It has become pretty quiet around Affinity and its products, reminds me a bit of the last time with Aperture... I'm afraid something not so nice is coming our way 
     

    That's a crystal ball kinda thing.

    But if silence is golden, then Affinity is lead!

    I already bothered you on this point but I cannot fix it - it is not a big problem but very annoying.

    The problem is that the pen assumes a white fill and black stroke even if I set and synchroniza defaults, then save. For a while it works then starts again.

    Grateful for help

    I'm with you on this one.

    I wish I could tell you how to fix it after trying everything, but after a while it comes back and rears its ugly head again.

    It all started when those 2 new buttons appeared on the context tool bar. I would like an option where I can totally remove them and revert back to a time when the pen tool actually worked without hindrance.

  8. There may be other ways to do this other than the one I will describe here.

    It works for me. . .

    In this example I rasterised the text layers.

    1. Create text

    2. Duplicate text and flip it horizontally. (text will now be in reverse).

    3 Select both text layers and turn off the reversed one ( so you can see what you're doing.

    4. Warp text to how you want it etc. . .

    5. Flip the reversed text layer.

    6. You should now have two text layers with identical warp features.
