@firstdefense: thank you for the suggestion and the video clip. It will certainly generate the result I am looking for. Slightly cumbersome, but it will get the job done. I appreciate your feedback. @R C-R: In my application I will be sharing the eventual graphic with a third party that does not have affinity designer. I’m looking for them to have a vector version of the design for scalability. The disadvantage to the non destructive cropping is the fact that the invisible elements are still present in the graphic. I’m trying to avoid any confusion for the end user of the graphics Thanks to you both for taking the time to reply.

@firstdefense - thanks for the suggestion, that will certainly work. However I'm trying to find a method that will work with multiple items simultaneously. I have a drawing with dozens of items (not all just simple lines) that I need to crop. Adding nodes to all the items would be cumbersome. The only 'problem' with the vector crop tool for my particular application is the fact that it is non destructive. I'm looking for a method that will delete the cropped portions. I've also tried using the "Layer>Geometry>Intersect" command which does work but would require individual edits for each item I wish to crop.

Good Day: I'm looking for some help on the vector crop tool in the desktop version of Designer (MAC). Suppose I have a series of red lines that continue beyond the extents of a green rectangle (see attached image). If I group the lines and use the vector crop tool, snapping to the green rectangle, the results is all the red lines contained within the green rectangle. So far so good. Now my question: Is there a way to permanently delete the portions of the red lines that have been cropped out?

I realize this is an old topic, but I would interested to see an implementation of a B-spline tool in Designer. I'm new to this program and am working thru the learning curve. I come from 'Corel Draw' where I have done 2D maps with topographic lines. In my workflow, B-splines are easier (for me) than Bezier curves. Anyway, I like the program and I'm hoping it will allow me to abandon my use of Corel Draw as I become more familiar with it. Thanks to the developers....and thanks for adding the iPad version (which I have yet to use, but I'm looking forward to trying). -Ed
