How do I draw a shape on a curved line in Affinity designer


Recommended Posts

Affinity Designer does not offer support for true vector brushes where the brush tips are actual vector shapes. However, you can create a greyscale PNG file with a circle shape, and import that into a custom brush that can be colored. See the attached image showing how to configure a custom Textured Intensity Brush based upon your own custom greyscale PNG.

I guess the other alternative, if your just after regular dotted lines, is to work with the dash settings for Strokes. See the attached image below.
