Union Feature bug?
W10M replied to W10M's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I have figured out my own problem! - some of my curves were not closed (even though they looked like it) and so they were not able to combine. When I went through with a close zoom, and closed all the curves, I was able to combine all the text curves. -

Yes, I do want to clip the photo to the curves. And yes it freezes until I have to close the program. I've attached the file. Thanks! I'm really just trying to learn how to do more in the program. I used to work with illustrator, but this is a bit different. Riley.afdesign -
Hi, I see you answer a lot of the questions in the forum, so maybe you can help me. I just discovered the union tool, but about every third time I try to use it, it causes my program to freeze up. Maybe I am using the tool incorrectly, or maybe it is a bug?
I want all of my curves to sit in one layer so that I can drop in a picture as a fill. Right now, it seems that I have to fill each curve (letter) individually and so the picture doesn't flow across the letters. Is there a better way to accomplish this? Maybe the union tool isn't even what I should be using....

Hi, I have two questions: 1 - when I try to use the union tool to combine more than two curves, the program freezes. I've just discovered this tool and really like the idea of it. Is the freezing a bug or am I using it incorrectly? 2 - I just converted my own text to curves and want to overlay the series of curves on top of a photo, so that the text cuts out the photo and makes it look like the letters are full of the original picture (badly explained...sorry)...is this a boolean tool? Can you tell me how to do this with multiple shapes? I can get a picture to jump into one shape, but not into multiple shapes (which is why I was excited for the union tool in #1). Can you give suggestions? Thanks
