Affinity Designer v1.8.5 - Creating Shape Presets. Issue

[DavidSpade]

G'Day, 

Excellent program BTW.

I've hit a bump in trying to replicate creating custom SHAPE Presets in Affinity Designer (v1.8.5) in Windows 10.

I've created a shape using the shape toolbar tool and modified the shape  - e.g., rounding corners.

After creating a new Preset Category, I go back to the shape settings COG, and click on the upper right menu. While the Manage Category "Manage Presets" option is still available, the "Create Presets" is not available (i.e., is greyed out).  I've made sure the shape is still selected. หวยลาว

I've followed along with the Affinity Designer video tutorial - but no luck.

Am I missing something?  Thanks for any help.

Hi @DavidSpade,

Welcome to the forums

I can confirm that if you have a shape selected that is already a preset, the 'Create Preset' option will be greyed out, as you can't add duplicate presets that are the same.

If you change a property on the shape you've most recently drawn, such as adding more Teeth to your cog, then you should find you're able to save the new shape as a preset.

I hope this helps!
