marcNOR Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 New Document Use Grid and snapping for this Pen Tool - Use line mode Draw a Polygon (ie square) where each line is on a new layer - draw the 2 horizontal lines first, then the 2 verticals Ensure the end points of the lines are coincident (by using snap to grid) Select All the lines try to use the add tool DEATH!

marcNOR Posted February 27, 2020 Author Posted February 27, 2020 strange, because I can reproduce it every time! Quote

Desktop_2020_02.27_-_23_24_19_01.mp4 I already downgraded to 1.7.3 on my main machine at home. A mistake to upgrade to a major update before first hotfix release fixes the worst. On a secondary laptop I could easily reproduce this in 1.8.0 for Windows. Again and again. This is why it is key and critical to have stable, reliable, tested basic tools implemented in the first major versions of a program like Affinity Designer. Not fiddling with them in version 1.8 several years later. My point all along. Now proven in a release version. 😤 😣 *mic drop* Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface." Computer-, operating system- and software agnostic; I am a result oriented professional. Look for a fanboy somewhere else. “When a wise man points at the moon the imbecile examines the finger.” ― Confucius Not an Affinity user og forum user anymore. The software continued to disappoint and not deliver.

marcNOR Posted February 27, 2020 Author Posted February 27, 2020 After some more testing...it seems that if I draw a perfect square then I get no crash, but if i draw a polygon, then crash. Desktop_2020_02.27_-_23_44.52_02.mp4 Quote

SteveB523 Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 I duplicated a complex set of shapes (a house) and attempted to use the add function on the duplicate. Designer immediately crashed and disappeared. Version 1.8.0 on the first iPad Pro 12.9”. I closed all other apps and the crash still occurs.75 GB free. Quote
