Ellie Dance Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I'm experimenting using a grid method to create logos and was wondering if there was a way to merge shapes by clicking and dragging them to connect one another? This is the grid in question: I know about the 'add' shape function in the top right but I need to just click and drag to make custom shapes easily. I know Adobe Illustrator has this function and, so far, I have found that Affinity Designer has been able to do everything that Adobe does so I hope Affinity can do this too.

G13RL Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 If you want to get something like my example, select the set, "Convert to Curves", do a Boolean operation "Xor". Then take "Node Tool", hold down the "Ctrl/Cmd" key and click on the curve segments you want to delete. Ellie Dance and Alfred 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback, it is because there is no shape builder tool, as mentioned @Alfred, that we are forced to use a workaround.
