In Affinity, the stroke is not an object. It is just an attribute of the curve geometry. I don't use Inkscape enough to say, but in affinity, Expand stroke may be like convert to path in Inkscape. It makes a filled area that was the stroke, and that can be cut away.
Hey thanks @gdenby that's a great way for me to look at it too. The Expand "is" indeed like the Stroke to Path for inkscape. Thanks

@reglico thanks. I will be honest, I "do" sometimes forget that I need to Expand To Stroke, thanks I think I got it now everyone. Thanks "SO" much for all the input. I hope this helps anyone else that may run into the same things I did
-
@dutchshader gotcha. Hey thanks I think that pretty much was my problem, thinking i could break strokes with the Subtract function. Now I see I cant.
-
so when you say closed, do you mean....So lets say I make a Octagon shape with my pen tool. Remove the fill and just have the stroke. The stroke "is" closed. But do you mean it has to be "filled" in order to use those functions? https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cqfYFUZuZl

hey thanks just saw your video @dutchshaderthat's a pretty cool way to do that, but is that the "only" way? I'm starting to think, that I've had the wrong interpretation of the Add, Subtract, Divide Combine functions...they just done work on strokes huh?

So here is what I was trying to do, https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cqfYF2Zu05

Hey guys, please check this out and let me know what I'm doing wrong or simply not doing; https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cqfYbjZuYp I can never get this trick to work in AD, but I'm sure others can, so I'm asking for help.

Thanks for trying to explain that for me. I kinda see what you mean, but I will have to play around with more scenarios to see if it all works and makes sense.

Holy cow that worked? I dont get it, but it worked lol
-
I guess I don't understand why I would break it, when I want it closed? But I will try it though

@>|< @Alfred So I "tried" to close curves, but I don't think that works either for me https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cqfYDFZuFT

Also, here is an attempt with just me "creating" the paths: https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cqfYoIZuo7 "STILL" will not do right for me, maybe you can tell me what I've done or not done better with this example

Sorry for the late reply @Callum the files are attached

I can never seem to get the ADD, SUBTRACT, DIVIDE, COMBINE functions to work right,
can someone please tell me what I may be doing wrong or if it's something with the software settings? https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cqfeDnZfQU -
I'm having issues when trying to open AI or EPS files, I'm just honestly not sure if "I'm" not doing something right or if it's just the way Affinity Designer works with other vector files, but take a look at the attached and you will see what I'm dealing with. Why does the files look all meshy?
Holy cow that worked? I dont get it, but it worked lol

@>|< @Alfred was trying to explain the "basis" of the functions to me, not just the particular subject I started the post about. But yea, I've copied everything "as you said" so it's cool. Over and out!
