Web designer code savvy tool
Alfred replied to brunovinhas's topic in Older Feedback & Suggestion Posts
That’s exactly why I suggested that the Pinegrow developers shouldn’t add Macaw-like longevity to their product!! -
Great sleuthing!

I can confirm this in Affinity Designer 1.6.4.104 on my Windows 10 system, If I use 72pt/x in the Transform panel it uses the x value there (i.e. the horizontal position coordinate) but if I try to use a similar expression in the Text Size input control in the Character panel it has no effect.

I’d be only too happy to explain if I knew, but I’ve no idea! It occurs to me that a simple solution would be to go back to the original text and round-cornered rectangle, set the blend mode of the text layer to ‘Erase’ and then group the two layers (so that whatever is placed behind/below those layers shows through, instead of also being partially erased by the text layer).

It sounds as though you've been subtracting the letters one at a time. Try adding them together to give you a 'Curves' object which you can subtract from the original black object in a single operation.

That’s fine as long as they don’t also add Macaw-like longevity! -
Microsoft Windows Developer Awards 2018
Alfred replied to Mark Ingram's topic in News and Information
I wonder whether the latest votes come from users who've been seduced by the 'value for money' factor. Todoist is free. -
Ah, OK. Lightbulb moment! If you click on a straight line segment the new node will be a sharp node, but if you click on a curved line segment the new node will be a smooth node. Alternatively, click on the 'Convert to Sharp' icon in the Convert section of the Context toolbar.
-
Choose the Node Tool, move towards the edge of the object on the canvas until the white arrow cursor acquires a little squiggle, and then click once to add a node below the cursor.

From the image he posted here, it would seem that Max wants to be able to adjust a number of different shapes so that they all have the same area.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @JT101. It sounds as though you're using Affinity Photo. The 'Text on a Path' feature is only available natively in Affinity Designer, but you can use the file attached to this post to work around that restriction.
-
The 'Join Curves' command joins the nearest start or end node of one open curve to the nearest start or end node of the next. The 'Add' command creates a single object from the selected curves, closing them first if they're open to begin with.
-
There's currently a bug which surfaces when you add shapes which include 'Smart' nodes, but from your first screenshot you don't have any of those. Try it and see!

Please see my step-by-step instructions in this post. At step 2 you have drawn the second object above the circle instead of below it, so at step 10 you need to set the anchor to bottom centre instead of top centre, but everything else is the same. I've attached a file which has 'Save History With Document' switched on so that you can use the History panel to see what I did. AD_ricke76.afdesign

This thread is about revolving copies of one object around another object, not about rotating an object around its own axis. Please explain a little more about what you’re trying to do.
-
You could select and group the two objects, rotate the group to swap the objects’ positions and then rotate the individual objects back to their original orientations, but your Notepad method is probably just as quick!
-
I guess I misread your post! I thought you were saying you had to use a screenshot because you had no other way of obtaining a raster image to work from.
-
I guess you overlooked the fact that PNG is a raster format!
-
You can quickly and easily make all the white spaces transparent via the Blend Options dialog.

iPad Affinity Photo Portrait Orientation?
Alfred replied to ivan's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
The Rotate commands don’t flip anything, so you must have accidentally invoked ‘Flip Horizontal’ or ‘Flip Vertical’. Go back to the Orientation options on the Document menu and flip the document again. -
Nothing new there, then!
-
You're very welcome, Andy. Thanks for the feedback!
-
Start by making the rectangle taller so that it sticks out at both the top and the bottom of the circle. Select both objects, click on the 'Divide' icon in the Geometry section of the toolbar, and then delete the surplus pieces of the rectangle.

Help with pencil brush
Alfred replied to Brimar's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Very generous, as always! Why do you say "former"? I'm a happy current customer, and expecting to remain so.
