I've owned Affinity Designer since the beginning. And the Node Tool is my favorite tool. But now, I can't add a node point to a selected curve. I've attached a quick vid on my problem. As you can see, I can use the Node Tool to move and make a curve... but I can't add new point. Any ideas for a fix? node-example.mp4

Here's the video. I can use the Node Tool to move the curve or line... but as soon as I try to click the line to add a point, I get nothing. What's strange is I restarted my iPad (a brand new one, too), the add-a-point started to work. But then seconds later, nothing... and nothing no matter what document I try. It's so strange. node-example.mp4

I appreciate the super fast response. I've read all the forums posts about this. Including this: With the curve selected, click at the point where you want the node to be added. But: For some reason when I click any part of the line with my node tool with the curve selected, nothing happens. I'm guessing I turned something off to cause this problem for me. Any ideas?

I think I turned something off in the setting bar at the bottom of Designer (original) and cannot use the Node Tool to tap on an existing shape to create a new point. I can use the Node Tool to click and create a curve... but not create a new point. I've never had this problem before. Any ideas for a fix?

How to convert text in curves?
Markus Allen replied to Andreus's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Awesome - convert text to curves... However: Let's say I have the letter "A" and I want the color the triangle - can you point me in the right direction to color it different than the stroke of the letter A itself? In other words, how do I only choose the triangle in the letter "A"? -

Pen tool & breaking curve
Markus Allen replied to RenWaller's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
I am trying to draw this (see attached)... Can someone show me how to draw this simple curve to line drawing using Designer on the iPad? I have watched all the tutorials, but it does not work for me. -

Pen tool & breaking curve
Markus Allen replied to RenWaller's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
This is a GREAT thread. Question: How do I continue using the pen tool. Let's say I am drawing a lot of points and accidentally "clicked off"... is there a way to click the path and start drawing again? -
Hedcut effect in Affinity Photo?
Markus Allen replied to Markus Allen's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
I HIGHLY recommend watching this video tutorial... the learning curve is a bit steep (because the new version of Affinity Designer is a bit different), but worth it. That tip about using the polygon tool along with the smart selection is AWESOME! -

Hedcut effect in Affinity Photo?
Markus Allen replied to Markus Allen's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Bump? -
I would love to see a future Affinity Designer that would remember the canvas size when exporting (a .png for example). Sometimes, the export size is twice... sometimes 400% bigger than my canvas size. (It is weird - there is no pattern to this). Right now, I have to back out of the export to see what my canvas size is... then hit the export option and manually input the width. Even better: Let me select an object, and when I export it as a .png (or similar format), Affinity would automatically size is right (instead of setting the export size to the entire canvas size).

Fill a rectangle with a color?
Markus Allen replied to Markus Allen's topic in V1 Bugs found on iPads
Bingo. That is correct. Thanks for pointing this out to me. I choose the wrong tool for the job. Update: Could this be the reason for the confusion? -

Here is my screen recording - see how the color does not change? 5C9E9D6D-D385-43DC-97C1-FC820BB75383.MP4 -
Fill a rectangle with a color?
Markus Allen replied to Markus Allen's topic in V1 Bugs found on iPads
Wow. I was almost afraid to post my bug here. I thought I was just being an idiot. -
I have the latest update... And when I select a rectangle and choose a fill or stroke color, nothing happens. Anyone else see this?
