Stay Matej Posted September 21, 2021 Posted September 21, 2021 Hey guys, I would like to create this shape in Affinity Publisher. Do you know about easy way, how to achieve it? In InDesign, i just created rectangle, added more points in corners, selected them and changed border radius. Here in Publisher, i have no idea, how to easily do it. Of course there is an option to make it in Designer, but its more complicated for me. Thanks Quote
GarryP Posted September 21, 2021 Posted September 21, 2021 Welcome to the forums @Stay Matej Which Affinity applications do you have installed? If you have installed both Publisher and Designer then you can open the document in Publisher, switch to the Designer Persona to use the Designer functionality when you need it – it’s just one button click – and then switch back to the Publisher Persona and continue your work. Or you can use menu “File → Edit In Designer”, make your shape, and then menu “File → Edit in Publisher”. If you don’t have Designer installed than you will need to come up with something else. Boolean operations will probably get you what you want, and someone may give you some advice on how best to do that. Stay Matej 1 Quote
Joachim_L Posted September 21, 2021 Posted September 21, 2021 The easy way would be Garry's way, but you can do this with APu also. I bet someone has a more clever solution than me. specialform.mp4 Stay Matej 1 Quote ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed
danielak Posted September 21, 2021 Posted September 21, 2021 Wow, that was actually helpful for me. I will use this way untill someone shares the so called "more clever" way Quote
Hans N. Posted September 21, 2021 Posted September 21, 2021 Do it in the designer, it is really faster. corner.mp4 Stay Matej 1 Quote
GarryP Posted September 21, 2021 Posted September 21, 2021 And, just for fun, here’s another method in Publisher (or any Affinity application). Probably not the ‘best’ way, but it works and it’s easy to do. 2021-09-21 13-39-07.mp4 Wosven, Stay Matej and Joachim_L 2 1 Quote

Wosven Posted September 21, 2021 Posted September 21, 2021 I was working on a similar compound, but the inability for the app to snap to "inside corners/nodes" of the rounded corners make it a pain without prior calculus! Quote

Stay Matej Posted September 21, 2021 Author Posted September 21, 2021 Thank you very much guys! This is the first time that i am using Affinity software and that fast switching between apps is awesome and i actually didn't know about it. I will do it in designer as Hans showed me. But thanks to you all for your effort" Quote
