Helmar Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Creating a compound shape results in the two circles remaining, with everything else gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 20, 2020 Staff Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hi Helmar, These objects are lines, not shapes. Affinity doesn't support boolean operations between lines and shapes or between lines (or rather it converts all lines to shapes connecting their start and end points before performing the boolean operation which may mess the output). If you expand them first (menu Layer > Expand Stoke) to convert them into shapes first, you will get the result you are after. If you prefer to keep them as lines in a single object/layer merge them instead (menu Layer > Geometry > Merge Curves).

Jowday Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Some feedback from Designer about exactly this would be helpful. Inkscape does this in the status bar, not with great info but it does tell you something could not be done because XYZ.

The software continued to disappoint and not deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
