Thank you, Affinity Team! The animated function would make you 200% more awesome!

[Question about Boolean operator]

@MEB

Yes, you can press alt while performing a boolean operation to create a compound shape (similar to what Sketch and Illustrator do) but i wasn't referring to compound boolean operations in my post above. They can't be used in this case.

 

I was talking about a regular intersection between the circle and the rectangles as Matt suggested. The clipping will give you less work in case you want to edit the rectangles later.

Thank you for the explanation!

[Question about Boolean operator]

@MEB

I remember in one of the tutorial you can hold ALT key and do the boolean operation, to get a editable result. Is that what you are talking about? Or they are different animals?

[Question about Boolean operator]

Thank you @MattP, I am still new to the concept of path, shapes and what operations are suitable for them.

I love the simplicity of Sketch operations and I also love the functions and exquisite result Affinity can bring. 

["Scissors" function in Affinity?]

Hi spnick,

A knife tool is already on our roadmap  ;)

You have to select the node first, then press the Break Curve button. Currently you can only break only one node at a time.

Thank you again MEB!

I would love a knife tool :)

Happy Chinese New Year to you!

["Scissors" function in Affinity?]

Well, i just did this: create a circle shape, expand to curve,  hit "break curve" first then press "A", delete anchor point.

I really do not know how the break curve works. Do I select specific anchor point then hit "break curve"? Or it breaks all the curves?

Thank you!

["Scissors" function in Affinity?]

Howdy,

 

This could be just a silly ;) question, but how do I cut a path like the "scissors" function in Sketch/Illustrator?

I tried to use the Break Curve function, but I cannot get the result I want.

All I wanted is just to create a circle and cut it into half. 

Thank you for any answer! :)

[Question about Boolean operator]

Hi spnick,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Drag the circle over the thumbnail of the group in the Layers panel until a blue vertical marker appears.

Hello MEB, thank you for the solution! I kind of saw this technique in the tutorial. It did work ^_^

So there is no way to use the Boolean operator button in this situation?

[Question about Boolean operator]

Howdy!

 

I was trying to use boolean operator to make a ball with colorful stripes. I've attached screenshot.

The circle is to be used as a mask

The rectangle stripes are to be masked by the circle.

But after I grouped the stripes, and tried to use Boolean operator, it won't work. 

The layers panel is also shown in the attached file. 

Please help!

BTW, I really love AD!!!
