iMac1943 Posted December 9, 2015 Author Posted December 9, 2015 Adobe Illustrator has the possibility to cut out parts of a circle. How do I do that in Affinity? Please help. Quote
Staff MEB Posted December 9, 2015 Staff Posted December 9, 2015 Hi iMac1943, Sorry the delay replying to your question. You can use the Node Tool (after converting the shapes to curves) to add nodes to the places where you want to cut the paths. Then select those nodes, go to the context toolbar and click on the Break Curve button from the Action section to break them. You can then remove the segments you don't need.

iMac1943 Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 Thank you, but I'm not getting what I want. Where am I wrong? See the several steps as you described Quote
iMac1943 Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 there is a step to do after 'click on the Break Curve button from the Action section to break them. You can then remove the segments you don't need.' What step exactly? Your reply please Thanks! Quote
Madame Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Hi, I'm learning as I go, and I tried to solve your problem. I used the ellipse tool. -Set the fill to none and stroke to your liking. Convert to curves. Use the node tool and select the first node. Break curve. Select the second node. Break curve.Look in the layers panel. You have two layers highlighted. Delete the one you don't need. iMac1943 1 Quote - Affinity Photo 2.3.0 - Affinity Designer 2.3.0 -Affinity Publisher 2.3.0 MacBook Pro 16 GB MacOS Sonoma 14.1.2
iMac1943 Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 Hi! That works perfect! Two layers highlighted, that's it. I deleted the one I don't need. Thank you!!! Madame 1 Quote

After breaking the circle using the nodes as i described, you only have to select the segment with the Move tool and delete it. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
iMac1943 Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 sorry, this is not working as you describe MEB, when going to the Move tool, and press delete, the whole circle is gone... Quote
A_B_C Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Hi iMac1943, you have to deselect your selection after going to the Move Tool (since both segments of your circle are still selected at this stage), and then reselect the part you want to delete … Hope that helps … :) Alex Quote
iMac1943 Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 deselect? How? I'm not still getting there. (The way Madame explains works well, but I want also your way to do it works...) Quote
A_B_C Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 See, I made a video for you. Should be pretty self-explaining … :) justwilliam 1 Quote
iMac1943 Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 Well, that's perfect. And yes, self-explaining. Thank you!!! A_B_C 1 Quote
