Yep, after a bit of trial and error, this ended up doing exactly what I needed. Thanks again.

Wow, that looks very much like what I need. I'll try it as soon as I have a chance. Thank you!

Yeah, that's more or less what I had guessed. Figured it'd be worth asking though. Thank you.

Yeah, I tried that, and if it worked in reverse (Contract) it would be a decent workaround, but the item I need to add the border to is currently the exact size I need, so I need the border to be smaller. It would also be ideal if the border line was an independent item. Thanks though. Similarly, this is another "almost" workaround. The look is close to what I need, but I need control over the stroke of both lines, plus the gap. It is for a design which will be printed and followed for building something, so exact dimensions are critical. Thank you for the idea anyway.

I'm guessing this doesn't apply to a combo of Mac and PC? It works really well on my MacBook, but I would love to put a copy on my PC if possible.

Hello, I bought Affinity Designer a few weeks ago and have been slowly but steadily learning to use it. It's a great app, and almost all my questions so far have been solved by a quick google search or searching these forums, but I've got one now that I just cannot figure out. I have a complex shape (Curve) that I want to duplicate and then shrink so that it forms a sort of border of uniform thickness around the inside of the original shape. A "normal" resize via the Transform panel throws all the proportions off. I hope I'm explaining it properly. Is there a way to do this? In other apps I've used, it's been a matter of a Shrink menu command, and then inputting how much (usually in mm or pixels) I want it to shrink by. If such a menu item exists in A.D. I can't find it. Thanks! -Andrew
