Alfred Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Most pill shapes are circles or round-cornered rectangles. Such shapes are easy to create with the Shape Tools which are available in all of the Affinity apps. dominik 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure if this is what the OP had in mind ( [irony] only due to the complex 3d effects on this one [/irony] ... 😉 ) I think @Alfred is closer to it but, still, I'd like to hear/see what @Zwiebelgian has in mind. d.

RNKLN Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 How about using the rounded rectangle shape whereby you then increase the curve radius?

I think this can be done easily with the tools we already have. The rounded rectangle tool works quite well. Cheers, d.
