RawPower Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I was wondering if Affinity Designer could add a feature that makes the ends of lines rounded. I looked for a post on how to create rounded edges, but I wasn't able to find a post on how to round the edge of the line drawn below. Is there a way to make the edge of the line below rounded in Affinity Designer? If not, could it be added as a feature? Thank you for considering this!

RawPower Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 I still can't make the line rounded even though I selected the Round Cap for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RawPower Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 So do I make it look like the picture above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loukash Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Either reset the pressure to have round caps on a simple path, or convert the path to outline = closed path, and use the Corner Tool to make the corners round.
