newdesigner Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 How do I combine all these curves into 1 object? Grouping is not what I am lookin for because all the curves are still there, it's just grouped. I'd like to make it into a single object where I can't select individual parts. Thank you.

newdesigner Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 Yes but that still has all the curves there. I am looking for the equivalent of Merge in Photoshop if that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 For selected curves you can apply "Layer -> Geometry -> Merge curves", but you then will lose previously different setup colors of certain curves here, since all is then treated as a single merged curve. Another way would be a combine with a similar effect. - In order to prevent different shape/curve colors you have to group or montage them. newdesigner 1 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newdesigner Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 Before and after doing Merge Curves. If I group them before, the Merge Curves option is not enabled (I can't select it from the menu). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that function doesn't take groups into account, you would have to ungroup groups of curves first, or perform it just on the selected curves inside of groups then.
