Bobi reacted to Wumpus in Huion 1060 pro/plus and Affinity
@Bobi and @Gnobelix
I'm using this too, and have had great support from Huion, and it works well (except I haven't found out yet how to apply the tilt to any functions, but that's not important for photo editing, IMHO). The build quality was superb, the feature list is mind-blowing, and while Wacoms tend to be more broadly tested from developers (I have had 3 in the past, all bought as new) and after a while they just stop fully working. I wasn't feeling the love, and didn't enjoy repeatedly paying a premium price for something that always works very well until the day it doesn't (with no warning). I took a gamble on Huion, and it's only been about 8-9 months, but the construction and materials are quite high, with far greater functionality than anything in the price niche from Wacom.
The drivers are definitely not as intuitive or have as clean or elegant or modern a user experience as Wacom, but they work, and you can master them if you invest a bit of time and checking other tutorials (lots on these models). They are gathering momentum in the marketplace, and again, the support is almost a white glove experience (other vendors take note).
The second downside is that (this is from memory, so this might be off a little): there was a Huion 1060 II model, and a 1060 PLUS NEW model, and a 1060 II Plus model, and I had carelessly grabbed the wrong driver from their site and only had about 10% functionality. The different (but similarly named) models hardly have any overlapping support, so you need to be super careful about getting the exactly-named drivers (flip over the tablet to read the tiny model name). Maybe it's due to a right-left language or something in the translation, but it seemed to me, to be terribly easy to make that mistake, but once pointed out and having installed the correct driver, all was good. My prediction is that they are going to eat a lot of Wacom's marketshare, who have (IMHO) been sitting on their hands counting revenues for too long. All the power to Huion, even if the result is just to get Wacom to properly respond to their user base. I receive no direct or indirect benefit from this commentary, from either Wacom or Huion.

Bobi reacted to JimmyJack in Problem with Add operation
Hey @Bobi , while all those extra nodes aren't great to have in there (btw they aren't actually lines. They're flat holes) only one is technically illegal. It's a single node all by itself.... an aberration (messing with it too much actually crashed Designer a couple of times).
That's the one that needs to be deleted in order for the Boolean to work (messily, but work). Funny thing is though, if you delete any node that one disappears too and solves the problem. Another solution is to just hit the close curve button. That will make the point into another "closed" shape, although it will still look like just one point (until you pull on it a bit )

Thank you for the file. You do not have a copy of the original file so it's hard to see if you had any transparent areas before. However, you go near the edges, You would have transparent edges. Have a look at this. it might be helpful.

Bobi reacted to firstdefence in Smart guides question
Initially, don't draw the line on the margin the measurements don't show so, move inside the margin and click then move the pen tool you should see the measurements clock up, you can then move the line into position using the Move Tool (V) and then change back to the Pen Tool (P) and continue drawing the corner by clicking on the end node.
