Substract contour

[gvaslin]

Hi,

in Affinity Designer, how can I soustract a contour to a form ? Can I do that ? I made a line with the pencil tool but when I want to soustraction it to my form there's a form and not only the contour subtracted to the form under...

Thanks for your help

Hi @gvaslin,

Welcome to the forums

My sincerest apologies for the delayed response, unfortunately due to the current circumstances our response time is longer than normal. We're working hard to keep on top of things, so many thanks for your patience and understanding here.

Could you please provide a screenshot, screen recording or sample of your document? Unfortunately I'm not 100% certain what you're looking to do here, so the more information you can provide the better.

Many thanks in advance!

You'll find my file in attached file. I'd like soustraction the thin line to the green square... I hope I'm clear...🥴

Thanks for that, you have 2 options here, you can either remove the FX applied to the curve, change it's blend mode to Erase and then clip it inside the rectangle, or you can use Layer>Expand Stroke and then the Xor Boolean operation to remove the curve from the rectangle. I've included both these options in my screen recording below -

I hope this helps

That's EXACTLY what I was looking for ! You're awesome ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

If I can abuse what if I'd like to make a white contour like the "K" in this example ? 😉
