Menus don’t have buttons, they only have entries or options. Can’t you simply post a screenshot? Why are you so reluctant to show us what you’re trying to work with??

At 96 ppi, 168.6 mm is 638 px (i.e. 2 px less than 640 px). Maybe that means something, or not!

@NotMyFault has pointed the way:

It will be a Curve object rather than a Curves object, because it will consist of a single closed path. Neither do I, for what it’s worth.

Select the object, go to the Layer menu and choose ‘Geometry > Add’ (or instead of going to the Layer menu, click on the ‘Add’ button in the Geometry section of the main toolbar). The selected object will be Boolean added to itself, maintaining its shape and orientation but resetting its rotation to 0°.

Set the ‘Left’ indent to a larger value than the ‘First Line’ indent.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @vanbrandenburgf. Check the options on the Context toolbar to be sure you're making a new selection.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @cinew. You can use the Rectangle Tool to create a flexible cropping window. Draw a filled rectangle anywhere on top of the photo, make it semi-transparent so that you can see the part of the photo that lies underneath, and then alter its size and position (zooming in or out as necessary) until it covers the target area of the photo. After changing the fill to fully opaque, drag the rectangle layer in the Layers panel and drop it onto the thumbnail of the photo layer to execute the crop.

People seeing your links will either ignore them or click through to view the linked posts. The first of those scenarios guarantees that they won’t see the backstory, the second doesn’t guarantee that they will. By using links like mine (the default mode here) you automagically give the reader the first three lines to pique their interest.

Why send the reader chasing off to the other thread to view those posts, instead of displaying them (at least partially) here?

You can find many examples in the ‘Share your work’ section of these forums, and also by searching on sites such as Behance and Dribbble.

Please post a screenshot of the Character panel as it appears when the top ‘Sue Hughes’ is selected.

Do you perhaps mean a Drafting persona? The word ‘Planner’ conjures up images of something to do with calendars and timetables.

Maybe I would understand immediately if I were a Mac user, but please explain what you mean by “they still open as TIFs”.

There should be! Serif’s legacy ‘Plus’ applications offered an option to either set the period between automatic update checks or disable them completely.

Nor should you be! What you’ve posted here is hugely impressive.

Duplicate of this thread.

When an issue is logged as a Bug, it means that an implemented feature seems not to behave as expected. Further investigation may result in the issue being acknowledged as a bug, worked on to correct the behaviour and subsequently resolved as ‘Fixed’, or it may (among other possibilities) be found that the observed behaviour is actually the expected behaviour, in which case the issue will be resolved as ‘By Design’. When an issue is logged as an Improvement, it means either that a feature has been implemented but its behaviour could be improved or that the feature is desirable but hasn’t yet been implemented. The ability to pin two columns of panels to the right on Mac and the ability to change the size of the interface font on Windows are just two examples of the latter type of issue.

It’s actually called OCR-A (where OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition). OCR-B is much less ugly and much more readable by humans, which means it lacks the geeky feel of the original. OCR-A: OCR-B:

Just to avoid any confusion in further discussion of the issue, @Iztok is trying to use hyphenation in Slovenian (sl_SI), not Slovakian (sk_SK).

Happy Talk! 🎶 “You've got to have a dream, If you don't have a dream How you gonna have a dream come true?”

When you say ‘uploading’, do you mean ‘importing’? Uploading usually means copying to a web server or cloud storage. Support for DWG and DXF import has been available in Designer since version 2.0, but support for DWG and DXF export was only added in version 2.4. Affinity Spotlight: What’s new in Affinity 2.4?

To keep the letters vertical, use the Quad option and drag the top and bottom edges of the quad rectangle upward to curve them.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @Kota. As you’ve discovered, using a blend mode gives you a raster result. To keep it vector, use the ‘Subtract’ geometry operation instead.
