Welcome to a silly world of workarounds: Affinity Designer. There is no knife tools or other time savers. Just "a stripped down work horse" (Serifs own words). You know... like fx WordPad.

G13RL Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 @Zhang Drorin, You can use a pen line for this but you must do "Expand Stroke" with this line before doing "Divide". Move Along People 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryP Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) In addition to the advice above, there’s another way to do what (I think) you want where you don’t need to use the geometry functions. See my attached video (and example document) where I use a Symbol in two rectangles. You don’t need to use a Symbol if you don’t want to but if you decide to change the text it will be easier if you do. 2020-11-22_12-35-50.mp4 split-text-example.afdesign Edited November 22, 2020 by GarryP Added example document.

GarryP Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 You’re welcome. If you have further questions then it will be best to ask them publicly in the forums; that way you are more likely to get more answers more quickly from more people and not just my opinion. Jowday: Seems to export just fine as SVG for me in a very quick test (see attached image) but further checking would need to be done.

Jowday Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 But at the end of the day this thread demonstrates very vividly how many workarounds you have to go through in Affinity Designer to reach the finish line. @Zhang Drorin It is possible in other inexpensive programs like Gravit Designer (purchased by Corel also available as corel.app) It should be this easy in Designer. But you'll have to stick to the workarounds shown above. Move Along People and lepr 1 1 Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."
