kaiwienen Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Hey Affinity Team, I think it was a bit premature to release version 1.8 and to say that the boolean functions have been greatly improved. Here are two examples as a video of what results I get with simple operations. Bildschirmvideo gehört 2020-02-27 um 11.27.56.mov Bildschirmvideo gehört 2020-02-27 um 11.29.48.mov Hope that the work will continue in the next few months, please! kind regards Kai PS: the results of expand Strokes are really good 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syxdesign Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 This is a very important thing in a design program, and the affinity fails a lot in this operations, i've migrated from windows to osx and i don't like the coreldraw version for mac, but corel in this operations are very good, and i need this operations because i works a lot with vinil cut... i like affinity and i've bought the designer, but they need to improve this part to be a good software to work, not only to design, but to work with professionl cut machines like plotters or cnc...

Guillem S. Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Designer 1.8.1 (downloaded from Apple Store): More new problems with boolean operations. In the previous version of Designer (1.7.3) this particular problem did not exist. Where can I download that prior version again? I can't work with the current one 😞 Feb-27-2020 13-27-25.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about right effin NOW?! This must be a hotfix within days! Im literally unable to finish my work because of that! Whenever i try to use the feature it randomly takes out points of rectangular shapes and makes it curve. im in the middle of time sensitive client work to finish up the logo and cant finish it because it always produces this crap. atesz, Jowday and rovedajr 3 Quote iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017), 4,2 GHz Intel Core i7, 64 GB 2400 MHz DDR4, Radeon Pro 580 8192 MB, ROG PG348Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted February 27, 2020 Staff Share Posted February 27, 2020 Hi kaiwienen et all, This is something we're aware of and is currently being investigated. I'll pass the comments on to development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MojoMan Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Ditto for me as well in this respect; Maybe I just need to look at whatever techniques you’ve developed to get me to something that was absolutely normal technique of overshooting brush strokes and then using white out to take off the “tips” and artifacts you did not want. Or I can go back to illustrator. HATE that because in so many ways this is a fabulous application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadkilleR78 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I hope that it'll be fixed soon. I have to export the icons that I made with the previous version of designer to the client. I can't do it now. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenabeatch Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Please fix the broken boolean operations urgently!!! I'm having to construct workarounds in other software and can't use existing documents because the compounds are broken!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
