Rolandas Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Hi, is it possible add stroke for few figures by common perimeter but without stroke in touch places? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolandas Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Thank you for quick answer! Maybe situation is clearer in picture:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 5, 2020 Staff Share Posted February 5, 2020 Hi Rolandas, Thanks for the image/clarification. If the two objects are properly aligned (with their edges overlapping) then it should give you a clean shape without that division line although it some cases it does fail in doing so. We are currently improving this (geometry operations) in v1.8 Beta. Do you mind attaching the afdesign file from which you have taken the screenshot above for us to check if the objects are properly aligned of if it's in fact a bug/failing case please? I would like to check it in v1.8 Beta and pass your file to the dev team for inspection if it also fails in the Beta. Thanks.

Staff MEB Posted February 5, 2020 Staff Share Posted February 5, 2020 Thanks for the file Rolandas. It seems to be working fine for me here (tested on Mac version). What Designer version and OS are you running? Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolandas Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 It's 1.7.3 on MacOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 5, 2020 Staff Share Posted February 5, 2020 Same as here. Have you tried with the file you uploaded? Maybe you've posted/uploaded the wrong file? I've uploaded an animated GIF showing how it performs on my system (check my reply above for the GIF).

Rolandas Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Yes, I can connect the figures, but I need different colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First duplicate the layers and combine one set of them and adjust the combined stroke. Place the other set on top with no stroke and change colors. The stroke of the bottom combined set should be visible but the shapes should have separate colors. One of many ways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of many ways Slight refinement: put the combined shape on top, change the fill to none. Then you can have an inside stroke if you want.

GarryP Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Another technique would be to group the layers and add an Outline Effect to the group. This way you don’t have to adjust duplicate objects if things change. Note: Only works with an “Outside” alignment of the outline (otherwise you can still see the outline where they touch).
