Artistwright Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I am having problems with layers of different colours and strokes, ill try and explain say you have red shape with a black stroke around it, then you want to make part of it blue, and keep the black stroke of the original red circle without the blue colour overlapping the stroke, how can this be done? right now, i am making a coloured shape with a black stroke, then duplicating it and making the top layer just the black stroke, then between these layers i draw another shape making sure it hides behind the stroke on top. Surely there is an easier way to do this. I have tried dividing the shapes in the icons on the top right but then stroke then changes, I hope you can understand what i was trying to explain, and help me out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 20, 2015 Staff Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hello directorfilms, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) You can set the alignment of the stroke to Outside in the Stroke dropdown on the context toolbar (Align section).

Artistwright Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 cheers i managed to find a video on youtube, it was so simple but got it now, basically i just drag a layer onto another one but nest it, and boom its working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
