crop tool problem
SS Gilbert replied to dizeyner's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
Thank you for clarifying! Nothing said to select a layer first, so I was operating blind. Was spoiled by Affinity Photo! -
crop tool problem
SS Gilbert replied to dizeyner's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
Affinity Designer only: I am unable to use the crop tool. The Context tool bar does not appear when I activate it. This tool has never worked for me despite reinstalling the app. I am using V 1.8.6 on a Mac desktop. No problem with crop in A. Photo! Please advise. -

Affinity Designer move tool glitch? The move tool no longer moves a selected object in real time. AD 1- select object with move tool 2- move object with move tool 3- The spinning wheel appears 4- 12-15 seconds later the object jumps to its new place A.Designer v 1.8.3, vector persona, 2019 27" iMac, OS 10.15.5 Obviously this delay is not acceptable. Any solutions? (Sorry, can't take screen shot while the wheel is spinning) UPDATE: just reinstalled the app and it's working again.

Invisible layers in AD
SS Gilbert replied to SS Gilbert's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
Quite true. This would have been quite easy if I wanted the dots to be uniform. Truth be told, I prefer the dots to look funky and different. Going in and changing each circle, when I may have 100 of them, would probably drive me -- well, dotty.- 22 replies

Invisible layers in AD

Thank you all for your input. To answer MED, I created the whole file in AD. The advantage of using the pencil tool, gently stamping dots on my tablet, is speed. The circle tool would take forever. And, as I have noted above, the vast majority of them work - with virtually identical characteristics. I appreciate the time you have all taken to try to solve this puzzle.- 22 replies

For the substitute dots, I copy/paste a nearby dot. Dots consist of two nodes (caps) very close together. Often the nodes sit on top of one another. In your example, if you select break curve and pull on one, you'll get a curve instead of a circle. I hope this is helpful. Many thanks for contributing! The substitute dots printed on another piece. I should have thought of it sooner.- 22 replies

Invisible layers in AD
SS Gilbert replied to SS Gilbert's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
Thank you. When they print as specks, they're only printing part of the dot shape. I realize they are small, but I feel that they still should print as well as show up on the monitor. Might this be a bug?- 22 replies

GabrielM, thank you for asking. Attached is an example. I would love to know what you think. MANY THANKS!! R C - R, thank you also for your input. I'm working at 300dpi and all dots were created at the same time with the pencil tool. I have substituted new dots, and - although they show in zoom, they are printing as specks, not full dots. dot mystery.afdesign- 22 replies

Very small layers (9.5 px dots in my case) vanish from view unless I zoom in. They also don't print from jpegs or pdfs of my file. This feels like a bug. Any solutions?
