Esther Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Hi, I bought designer yesterday and it was working great, until now.. My problem is that I can't draw on pixel mode but the vectoriel is working. As a result i can't neither draw or modify my precedents drawings. I also can't modify the calques or use any props of the pixel mode. I did disinstall and reinstall the latest version , can you help ? (sorry if my explanation is unclear, my english needs improvement) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, @Esther. I'm not sure I understand what's happening (a video would help, if you can provide one), but perhaps your document has a pixel selection active? If so, the tools would be effective only within that selection. If so, Select > Deselect (default shortcut Ctrl+D) would remove the selection, and allow the tools to work again.

Esther Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Hi, Thanks for the fast answer. I have already try to deselect but nothing is selected. I am going to try to be more clear: When i open Designer and open one of my files (which is a drawing that i did on Designer), i can not modify anything on it exept chosing one calque or another. I can't erase anything i did before or draw something new on the file even if it is apparently modify as the files's window says. Basically i can't modify my originals, maybe it come from a problem with the calques themselves.. I don't know what to try i've been looking for what i can think about but i'm not use to the app yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esther Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 I mean the tracing sheets, when you draw something and the add a layer to draw over it . Not sure that's pretty clear... But the problem seems to be resolved,, i apparently created a bloody lot of layer sheets over my drawing, i deleted them and it's working again. I've still got a lot to learn about how to use the app fluently Thanks a lot for helping! SPaceBar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPaceBar Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Hi @Esther Welcome to the forums. Sorry you were having issues but glad to see it's working ok now. If the issue returns do pop back. Sometimes just talking things through helps a lot even if we don't know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
