I wish I had explored it with the trial version instead of buying it...but because I love the original Affinity software, I trusted it would be a fantastic upgrade as advertised...though so far I haven’t seen the benefit of the Affinity 2...
-
Hi again, another issue with Affinity 2 is that it keeps quitting unexpectedly! Oh dear...I’m not sure the upgrade is as good as the original...the original version seems to be much more reliable..any thoughts would be appreciated. If I keep finding issues with the new version I may have to go back to using the original version...

That is (unfortunately, for your situation) correct behavior, as there is no backward compatibility between V2 and V1. Any native Affinity files saved in V2 are for V2 only. You can perhaps Copy the data using V2, and Paste it into a new document in V1. Or perhaps Copy then use File > New from Clipboard in V1.
Sorry, but I can't help with your other problem.
Hi Walt thanks for your help. That’s a good idea about copying and pasting the work...thanks I’ll try this and see if it works..

Also since opening this and saving it in Affinity 2 I now can’t open it in the original Affinity software. Aaaah and I need to get a job done asap! Thanks again for your help.

Hi there, I recently bought Affinity 2 and am having issues with it already! (the wheel of death while trying to use the blur brush tool - it doesn’t work on either of my computers, my old iMac Intel or my brand new Macbook Air M1). I’m unable to blur parts of the photo with this tool. I’ve tried it in Affinity Designer 2 and Affinity Photo 2 on both macs...
Is anyone else experienceing this? Maybe I’m doing something wrong but can’t fathom it if I’m using a brand new mac.
Thanks for your help

- Another way for equal objects is to make symbols out those then, so when rotating one of them all synced will equally be rotated.
Aah brilliant! I was trying to work this out too! Thanks so much!

The solution is the Text Frame panel in the Studio in Publisher, which has controls for the Stroke and Fill of the Text Frame (or, as it turns out, for the text path).
Sorry meant to quote you, just geting used to this system as I don’t use it very often! Incase you missed the last message "I tried it but the text frame was greyed out and wouldn’t let me change anything. I re-drew the circle and text as it was quicker than trying to figure out how to delete the colour in the circle. It would be good to be able to change it for future but still unclear how to do it. Thanks again.”

There is a checkbox somewhere (I think in Stroke-Studio) that you can use - it says ”scale with objects”...
Im away from Mac/Win just now, but you may find it if you seek...
Hi Errka, Thanks so much.
I googled and found this too. If you select the whole group and click on the group with the pen tool , the stroke palette appears and I could then check the box from there. Thanks for your help and to Rory Townsend who made this helpful video.
Best wishes

Hi there,
I notice when I shrink a grouped object and there is a shape with a stroke, (with or without dots and dashes) the stroke doesn’t shrink with the rest of the grouped objects so I have to manually adjust the shape independently from the rest of the group. I tried googling for help but and coverted to curves as suggested but still no luck.
I don’t want to have to rasterise the group as I want to keep the potential for all the objects in the group to be editable and keep as Vector. This is also an issue when importing a Vector logo from Affinity Designer into Affinity Photo.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi there,
I've just updated my Affinity Apps Designer and Photo in the App Store but I notice I can't update Publisher though App store. It only gives me the option to buy it even though I have already bought it. I am wondering if this is because I bought it just after the beta version and maybe I bought it directly from the Affinity website? I can't remember. Anyway just trying to figure out if there is a way to update all Affinity apps through the app store.
Thanks

Thanks very much Pšenda. Are any videos to explain the node tool as I find videos easier to understand? Thanks so much.

Hi Jez,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
There's no way to round the corners of an embedded document directly but you can use a rounded rectangle as a mask to achieve the same result.
To do it, draw a rounded rectangle with the Rounded Rectangle Tool with the same size as the embedded document. Then drag it over the thumbnail of embedded document layer in the Layers panel to use it as a mask. You should see a small vertical blue bar appearing on the right of the thumbnail when you do this - release the mouse button at that point. Now that the rounded rectangle is being used as a mask, select it clicking on its thumbnail in the Layers panel, make sure the Rounded Rectangle Tool is selected and adjust its properties on the context toolbar. You can also use the small red point on the top left corner of the rounded rectangle (on canvas) to adjust the corner size.
I've attached a sample file below.
This is so useful. Thank you so much! : ) )

Hi Garry and Pšenda thanks so much for your help.
I got it all working by checking everything but haven’t unchecked anything yet as I have been working on a job and needed to get it finished. Will have a look at unchecking gradually and see how I go. That’s really helpful thank you.
I wasn’t sure where predefined preset was so haven’t tried that option.
Thanks again

Thanks Garry,
Do you have a suggestion for what to keep checked and what to switch off as a default setting?
-
Aah ok it seems I have to check every single tick box in Enable Snapping for anything to work!
-
Hi, I’m not sure what I’ve done but snapping seems to have stopped working on all my Affinity Designer documents. I’ve tried resetting factory settings in preferences to see if this helps and switched on enable snapping but it still doesn’t work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much
Best wishes

I have this issue too. I keep thinking my eyesight is going! I have Mac (27-inch, Late 2013).

P.S I couldn’t seem to upload the screenshot, I got a message saying please contact us for assistance...?

Hi thanks for your reply.
I don’t need a programme that outputs code. As I mentioned I’m just doing the design and was wondering which one of the Affinity apps would be better. I’ve gone for Designer as recommended. Thanks again

Hi Lee, yes still having issues! I’m working on a project at the moment on the new version and it it can’t seem to cope with simple tasks...and then spins the wheel of death and I have to force quit! At least it enables me to open a recovery file!
