Hi all, wonder if you can help.

I'm trialing Affinity Designer for vector cartooning. A very important function I need is the ability to trim the ends of overlapping lines, e.g. in this Illustrator video: https://youtu.be/D53eia5bbYo?t=1501 (time stamp 25:01)

From other posts I understand there's no vector eraser tool, so I'm looking for workarounds. One way I can see is to add a vector point at the intersection and delete the overlapping section of the path, however this is probably too fiddly and slow for my needs.

Are there any other approaches to quickly trim down path lines? Perhaps using a drawn shape as an eraser?

Thanks

Hi Sketchy Moves,

Welcome to the forums :)

I unfortunately think you have already outlined the best way to do this I'm afraid. Hopefully another forum member who is in your situation will have a solution for you.

Thanks
