[How to create a line around an exiting curve/shape?]

Thanks for the answers! I tried what @firstdefence suggested and it works nicely, that's exactly what I wanted to do.

Thank you very much :-)

[How to create a line around an exiting curve/shape?]

Hello,

I'm wondering if there is a possibility to draw a line around an existing curve. E.g., I have a shape, let's say a rectangle of 4x7cm. Now I want to create an additional line around that existing shape, with a distance of exactly 5mm. Is there a function or easy way to do this?

Any help is greatly appreciated, because I search for quite some time now, but couldn't find a solution.

Thanks in advance,

I'd also love to be able to export .ico files directly from Affinity Designer.

[Link layers to display same content]

Hello R C-R

Thank you so much! That's exactly what I've been searching for and your linked tutorial explains it very well.

I just didn't know this feature was called "Symbols" and even didn't have the symbols view activated.

[Link layers to display same content]

Hello,

 

I'm new here and just doing some first steps with Affinity Designer. I've seen a design where two layers were linked to each other so that both show the same content. Let's say layer A is linked to layer B. Layer A shows all elements from layer B. Editing layer B affects layer A as well, as it always shows what layer B currently shows.

 

The example that I've seen uses this "layer linking" to scale a design down to different sizes. The layers list shows an orange colored line on the left side of linked layers.

 

I didn't find out how I can create such a linking between layers. Does anybody know how this works and could please explain?

 

Thanks,
