Here is a preview... Select the node tool (A) and the warp layer to edit the vector warp. Select the Move tool (V) and the text layer to edit the font/typography.

You might be able to change the font in this afdesign file from within Affinity photo: Aureon.afdesign

If you had Affinity Designer v2 it has vector warp, so applying a warp won't rasterise the text like it does when you apply a warp in Affinity Photo.

This is from Illustrator and you will find the red grid will match how your eps file shows up in Affinity.

The lines are a consequence of using gradient meshes most likely in Illustrator. Affinity, cannot interpret them because Affinity doesn't have gradient meshes so rasterises them into images. I opened the eps file in illustrator and exported it to png for you.

Wouldn't it be simple to add an option in the brush settings, you already have rotation, surely flip horizontally and vertically could be added? In the meantime, a workaround would be to create a flipped brush using New brush from selection... Select brush of choice Stamp an instance of said brush Flip stamped brush Go to the brushes panel click on the burger menu icon and select New brush from selection... You now have a flipped brush. Bear in mind this method doesn't work with the vector/raster hybrid brushes in Affinity Designer.

Re the hoodie mockup, I can't see anything wrong with it at all in Affinity Designer, it works just as if it's in Photoshop, Layer structure is the same too. In Affinity Photo you have to nest the colours to get the same effect. Forgot to do the hoodie design too, nest that.

The warp feature in Affinity is quite rudimentary compared to Illustrator and VectorStyler. The biggest omission as far as I can see is the lack of constraint and no way to snap to guides nor grid, this makes the warping process clumsy at best. There are no centre nodes to move, so again you have to guess the centre of the text. All of these missing features should have been included by default along with the ability to save presets. Report card: Affinity-Canva needs to try harder. C-

I can export a file to DXF and open a DXF file in Silhouette Studio (SS) and have the objects show. I apply a 0.1 stroke to all objects. On the export panel I choose the preset DXF - Preserve Vectors and I leave all settings as is. Maybe upload the SVG file to see if we can get it into SS. Used a free SVG from https://tarareed.com/craft-vault/ " Adventure awaits, if I open the SVG and export to DXF, because the shapes do not have a stroke, when I open the DXF in SS nothing shows, but if I apply a small stroke to all of the objects I can see the objects, so I think adding a stroke is the key here.

Tried this prompt "aerial view, map view, trees, deciduous." in RunwayML and got.

Just as a guide you could try using the prompt "Aerial View" or "aerial view. of trees." in your AI of choice.

Are you sure you have the right forum?

You can use the Geometry Divide boolean operation: Layer > Geometry > Divide

Next example... You could also click on the sharp node on the context menu in the convert section to remove the node handle, this would do a similar thing and result in a cleaner expand. You also have a section that joins...

This is not entirely an Affinity issue, sometimes the strokes can have malformed nodes where the node handles are crossed over or you have more than one node in very close proximity to each other as seen in the screenshots below.

@Alfred Pixelstuff wrote as if I was the OP I was simply pointing out I was not the OP. I know I used the term, I wasn't saying Pixelstuff said it, but I'm still waiting for an answer as to the accuracy requirements, I think all of that should be dealt with at the scan stage so no correction is required.

I’m not the original poster @JimSlade is. I suppose the question is, does it matter that the blueprints; being distorted when scanned will not be accurate when the scan adjusted in Affinity Photo unless Jim uses a grid set to the correct proportions of the original blueprint. how accurate does this need to be?

Select the Move tool 'V' on the keyboard, then select image layer and the transform options should become active. @pixelstuff doesn't the perspective tool distort the original design so that its no longer an accurate facsimile of the scanned document.

It is not an inconsistency, I think it's by design. With text frames you would be using text formatting such as paragraph, character and text frame parameters, you would be considering how to snap to the frame not the text, that is why the text frame is highlighted when the pen tool is selected. I don't think I've seen a single post where someone has queried why they can't I snap to words and letters in a text frame. But for artistic text it has practical applications.

The text frame will invariably have smaller fonts typically 12pt or thereabouts. To have nodes showing would just be a complete mess, such as this example... Do you think this makes any practical sense?

The It = The Pen tool, what else are we talking about? Re making sense, I would say it's an anomaly/bug that the pen tool shows the construction nodes that were used to construct each element of that font, maybe the pen tool isn't supposed to be showing those nodes.

Because it's looking at the text frame and not the text within the frame.

It shows the nodes that are used to construct the font see the image below. The image a screengrab from FontLab and the corresponding font with the fill removed and a magenta stroke applied, see how the nodes match the nodes from fontlab.

Can you add the link to the tutorial you are watching? Look for the Appearance Panel, if you cannot see it, go to Window > and click on Appearance on the Appearance panel you can add multiple fills and strokes. Select the layer to apply the FX to and click on the small FX icon at the bottom of the layers panel. Select the layer with the style you have created and click on the Styles panel, click on the small burger menu and select Add style from selection. The opacity slider is also the noise slider, click on the small icon below the word "Opacity"

Where it says put your design here, Double Click on that layers icon. Like this.
