MarJai Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Thank you all for your time and energy. Your creative efforts are appreciated. iPad Pro 12.9 gen. 2 Affinity Designer 1.8.2 Vector Persona 2 layers only Top layer is vector bottom layer is a raster / jpg image Once vector layer is selected using the Move tool, I choose the node tool and none of the nodes are revealed. only when I double tap on the vector layer, will the nodes appear. However when this happens, the screen changes from me being able to see all visible layers to only seeing the active vector layer that is now allowing me to edit nodes. I want to be able to edit nodes with the background image still visible. What am I doing wrong or is this a known issue? Node edit mode changes view of artwork to only the active /selected layer and won’t show the background until I click the back button and then all layers in the layers panel are visible again.

DM1 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 4 hours ago, MarJai said: only when I double tap on the vector layer, will the nodes appear. You are working on an 'Embedded' layer. It is effectively a document loaded into your document. Double tapping is the way that Affinity 'opens' the embedded document to allow you to edit it. Using the back arrow then returns focus to your document, closing the embedded document, saving any edits you made to it. I've copied the embedded image and pasted into a group. You can now edit nodes while background is visible. You will need to select the layers as they are all individual curves. 🙂 newnodeModeScreenSwap.afdesign MarJai 1 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).
