Grouped elements no pathfinder in Affinity Designer


Recommended Posts

This is an extention to my previous post, long time ago. (

To "illustrate" the problem, i put down (in Editable text) for example with a handwritten font. Where the letters overlap eachother.) 

HELLO
HELLO
HELLO

Then convert this to contours, you'll see in Outline View mode that your text is overlapping, to merge these, you need to ungroup the whole set. Otherwise your pathfinder tools won't be available. Merge them with pathfinder, and regroup them. You can imagine this is rediculous in many instances, and ALOT of extra work

I don't know why, but grouped items is a pain from Affinity Designer from the start, it's not working like it's supposed to do.

It would help to have your .afdesign file that demonstrates this, @JCD2016.

That video is private.

In any case, it would help to have a sample file, as I said.
