    Make it larger so the desired "zoomed in" view is the 100% size and to see the whole thing you have to zoom out.

    Do you mean the whole document? If so, I have a separate document for that purpose. This is UK Wide.

    The thing is too tiny. The text for the labels, green ones, is less than 4 pixels in height. No way that is going to be legible.

    I appreciate that I may need to make the A roads (green) and Motorways (blue) icons bigger but that doesn't help with the map and town names being blurred when zoomed into an exported .jpg file.

    Many times "this problem" is a user error involving miss-positioned layers or layers with the wrong DPI, and fixing those resolves the problem.

    Have you verified that you are actually experiencing one of the bugs, and not one of the user errors?

    Thanks for your reply. After playing around I discovered Layer > Geometry > Merge Curves  which solved my problem. I was wanting to merge several map layers together and rasterise quality was awful.

    How about grouping all of the shapes?

    That doesn't work if I draw a shape over all three separate map parts as only one of them will be covered by the shape I draw.

    Could you not just select all 3 separate parts and use export (Selection without background) or (With Background) to suit, as a PNG file and import that in back into the document. then overlay whatever shapes you need to. You could use the blend modes to colour just the white areas 

    I'm not sure you understand what I'm trying to do, despite my best efforts to explain it :13_upside_down:

  4. I've got myself really confused. Probably because I haven't played with Affinity Designer for a while. 

    In the example below you can see that the "A" shape is snapped onto the map. The map itself is one image. In the video, as I explained the map is not one image but in three separate parts. What I want to do is make those 3 separate parts one so that I can snap shapes to the map as shown below. Hope that makes more sense.
