Cut out outlines

[Gilo]

Hello

I've created a skyline, which has outlines and color fill, now I'm wondering if it is possible, that the outlines are deleted? I have several objects on overlay so I would need to cut the object in front our of the object behind. 

Attached is my image, i would need to that the black lines are deleted, that the background (in my case blue) would be visible instead of the black lines). 

Is this possible without me having to redraw all the buildings?

It depends on how you drew this.  Normally there would be layers that are white with a black stroke on a blue background.  In this case it's simple to just turn off the stroke leaving the white on a blue background.  If this isn't the case then could you attach the affinity file so we can see how the images are drawn?

Give the black strokes the same blue color of the background in one go?

Hello and thank you for trying to help, no I would need that the lines are substracted from the fill

Hello and thank you

 

No if I have the image printed, they will charge me for 2 colors, even if the lines are black, like the background

What he is wanting seems to be that the outlines function as knockouts, cutting through all the layers. I don't think this is possible, without a lot more complexity than just clicking a check box or choosing a blend mode.

So actually what you are needing is the blue ink(?) and the white with black stroke will be the paper?

Do you mean that you want transparency where the black lines are?

[Gilo]

Hello everyone and thank you

 

Well the lines should not be transparent, but even cutout of the buildings in the back. 

 

I did manage to get it done by using Affinity Photo, where I selected with the magic wand black and deleted it (see attachement)

 

I did not find a solution to do this in vector drawing.

 

 

Thank you

Click on the white space, it's a white image on a transparent background. 😉
