Affinity Rat Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I created this curve but cant seem to adjust stroke or fill. The opacity is set to 100%, moving the thickness slider makes no difference and both fill and stroke set to black. Its a puzzlement to me! axe.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Try removing the superfluous(?) invisible fill from the layer – via the Appearance Panel – and then changing the Draw Order via the Stroke Panel and see what happens – see attached video recorded in the desktop version. I don’t know how the layer got into this state or why this ‘fix’ works. 2022-09-25 09-37-01.mp4 Affinity Rat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affinity Rat Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 Thanx, but I created this on an iPad, dont think I have those options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I think, in the iPad version of Designer, the Appearance Panel is called the Appearance Studio. Same ‘renaming’ goes for the Stroke Panel → Stroke Studio. Affinity Rat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Affinity Rat Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 I’m not that familiar with A Dez, you were correct, after hiding one of the fill layers it started working, unable to put it back into non-functional state. It would appear like a bug or glitch. Thank you all for your patience! 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fix as mentioned by carl123 is all that is needed – just enable the fill and stroke (removing the other fill, as I mentioned, is unnecessary). To get it back to the previous state, just switch the fill and stroke back off. 6 minutes ago, Affinity Rat said: It would appear like a bug or glitch. Without knowing how you got to the original state it’s difficult to know if it’s a bug or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, I’m very familiar with APho but not ADez just started working with the pen tool, was unaware of the appearance studio, expected to see this type of functionality via the layers studio…wrong. When all else fails read the manual.😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 When you “just started with the pen tool” did you start with a brand new document and then immediately start using the Pen Tool, or had you done other things with the document first?

GarryP Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Odd. I wouldn’t have expected the visibility of the stroke and/or fill to be affected by doing that and, as far as I know, there isn’t a ‘setting’ to have strokes/fills disabled by default. Have you tried to replicate the process to see if the same thing happens more than once? If it happens more than once, does it happen with other images, and/or other types of image, or just that one image or image type? Is there some reason why you pasted the bitmap into the document rather than using another method? Pasting might, possibly, have some unintended effects so can you Place the image into the document instead and see what happens? (I don’t have an iPad so I can’t check any of this.)
