NotMyFault Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Hi and welcome to the forum. Can you please check if you have snapping enabled? If yes, disable it. If the issue persists, could you please make a screen recording and upload it ?

Dean123 Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 Hey, thanks for the welcome. I’ve seemed to have fixed it. I think it was something as simple as drawing out the arrow first then editing it afterwards Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the desktop apps, you can’t set the parameters before you draw the shape.

NotMyFault Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Depends on colors of assets and UI theme (dark / light) Affinity does not use contrasting background colors (to UI grey level), so in many cases assets become effectively invisible. Did you ever notice (on Desktop) that the mouse cursor is always visible, no matter what colors are behind it? It automatically adds a black or white border to ensure it is visible. Affinity forgot to implement such function for asset libraries.

Means having to hide a layer though. At least you can see names🙂 Changing colour is problematic as these are png images with transparent backgrounds. Maybe there is a better way to do this?
