ashf Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Would be nice if you could add this. I know I can achieve it by closing open curve, but Illustrator does it and it's useful. ApplePI, Display, Lmpessoa and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNKLN Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I've tried this and it looks like AD is exactly doing this. The only thing is that i have to throw away one of the components.

ashf Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 Division on Illustrator doesn't require a path goes through entire shape. I know I can do similar if I make very narrow rectangle shape, but it leaves a gap along the cutting line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNKLN Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 That's a petty, than. Well, at least i learned something from your original entry (namely that you don't necessarily need closed curves to do this kind of operations). 😀 ashf 1 Quote Affinity Photo - Affinity Designer - Affinity Publisher | macOS Sonoma (14.2) on 16GB MBP14 2021 with 2.4 versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashf Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 @RNKLNThanks anyway, but this is needed for Affinity and many people want it. That's why I posted this feedback as a feature request not just for me but also for people I know who need this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robsch Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Why not use the handy-dandy shape feature. Very simple to use and works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That only works with Pie chart-ish thing. Example above is just example, there are many situations that's not Pie chart-ish thing that division is useful.

hcem Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 hi just noticed affinity designer does not have this tool. I was trying to divide a map into provinces. So this would be very useful. Any suggestions or alternatives to this function? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashf Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 This is good example of what dividing with curves capable of. From a tutorial of Illustrator. Yes it's diamond. neat, isn't it? wtrmlnjuc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or add very thin stroke to lines and expand stroke. so you can use Geometry as usual.Though it leaves a gap along the cutting line. loukash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcem Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Hi thanks, for now I use the Geometry functions. It certainly works but takes multiple steps. Would appreciate this function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
