    Copy (Ctrl+C) the object which has the gradient fill that you want to use, select the other object and 'Paste Style' (Ctrl+Shift+V).

    On the Layers panel, if you drag an object and drop it onto the thumbnail of an overlapping object, you'll get a vertical blue bar and the target object will be cropped to the shape of the overlapping part of the dragged object; as it's being cropping rather than clipping, the dragged object will disappear from view. If you drag an object so that it's inside an overlapping object (indicated by an indented horizontal bar) the dragged object will be clipped to the shape of the target object, and the rest of the target object will remain visible.

    I don't think we can do a precise vertical shear in a single step. It looks as though we have to take our cue from what happens when you use the shear handles around the object: having set the shear or the rotation to a particular angle, set the other value to the negative of the same angle.

    I thought I'd seen it reported before! Thanks for the rapid response.

    When I opened up an existing project in build 1.5.0.9 and added a couple of text layers, I got the intermittent scrollbar weirdness shown in the attached GIF animation.

    Thank you, Fixx. I've edited my previous post accordingly. :)

    I'm on Windows, so I've only ever seen AD 1.5 beta and I wasn't aware that this is a new feature.

    1. Copy the text object whose features you want to apply to other text 2. Select another text object 3. Go to the Edit menu and choose 'Paste Style'

    In Affinity Designer, go to the View menu and choose 'Zoom > Zoom to Selection' (Ctrl+Alt+0 on Windows, or Cmd+Shift+0 on Mac). Edit: The keyboard shortcut seems to be one of several that are broken in the current build of Affinity Designer on Windows.

    You're welcome, Harster13. :)

    I think 'moonjasper' is asking whether the beta release is licensed for commercial use. As far as I know, commercial use is allowed, but as it's a beta release it may not function as expected and you may lose your work. Another important point is that the file format may change, making it impossible for you to open previously saved documents.

    I'm on Windows, so I only have the Designer beta, but I have no difficulty duplicating an 'eyelash' brush stroke and flipping the copy horizontally to create the mirror image needed for the other eye.

    Photoshop *.abr brush files can be imported onto the Brushes panel just like native *.afbrushes files.

    I was merely responding to what you wrote in response to Andy Somerfield, where you seemed to be "jumping at" him. I am volunteering my time, just as you are. We are all exercising our right to express our opinions. If you think that a polygon imported from an SVG file should come into AD as a procedurally generated polygon shape (with all that that implies in terms of its adjustability) then perhaps you should make a feature request. In the meantime, if AD imports a polygon as a bunch of connected straight lines, it seems perfectly reasonable to me that it should label the object as '(Curve)'.
  15. Alfred
    That would certainly be more flexible. You could always select the text separately for conversion to curves, if that's what you wanted.

    You're welcome, baal_uriel! :)

    You could use a gradient fill with two overlapping nodes at the halfway point, but it might be simpler to align two semicircles so that there is no gap between them.

    Thanks, R C-R. I'm aware of that: I was responding to the comment in your previous post where you wrote "presets for web use typically use 72 dpi as a default". As you've pointed out in your latest post, very few devices actually render anything at that resolution.
  20. Alfred
    That's really a Mac thing, isn't it? The standard display setting on Windows systems is 96 pixels per logical inch.
  21. Alfred
    Thanks, Miguel. It does seem to help a bit if I use it twice, but there's clearly room for improvement! I hope we get a slider control for it at some point. By the way, shouldn't 'Expand Stroke' be greyed out if the selected object doesn't actually have a stroke applied?

    When I draw a squiggly line with the Pencil Tool in build 1.5.0.8 on Windows, selecting the object with the Node Tool and pressing the 'Smooth curve' button gives me more nodes instead of fewer.
  23. Alfred
    You need a gradient fill rather than a solid colour for this. Try experimenting with shades of yellow, and include some white streaks to make it look shiny.
  24. Alfred
    Which build do you have? My copy of 1.5.0.8 is still working fine, and I wouldn't expect it to expire at least until after 1.5.0.9 is released. Is your system clock showing the correct date and time?
  25. Alfred
    A polygon drawn with the Polygon Tool shows as '(Polygon)' on the Layers panel. A trapezoid shows as '(Trapezoid)' and a cat shows as '(Cat)'. As Andy has said, these show as '(Curves)'* once converted to curves. A polygon drawn with the Pen Tool in 'Straight Line' mode is immediately (i.e. without any conversion steps) listed a curve, as I would expect. ________ *Actually just '(Curve)' if it's a single curve such as a star or a trapezoid.
