Michael A. Lowry Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 This morning I tried to use the new Shape Builder tool for the first time. After several attempts, I gave up. I have not been able to create a shape yet. The app has crashed several times — once when I accidentally typed Command-Delete while selecting areas, and every time I tried to commit the selection and create the shape. I’m using Affinity Designer 2.0.0 on macOS 13.0.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awakenedbyowls Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I can't figure out how to use this feature (on iPad) I select it and all my pencil does when I draw is create a rectangle to show the area I have selected - it doesn't leave any shapes. Are there tutorials online for the VS suite yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael A. Lowry Posted November 11, 2022 Author Share Posted November 11, 2022 As you can see in the file, I used symbols to keep the shape bilaterally symmetrical. Detaching all of the symbols appears to have to resolved the problem. So perhaps Shape Builder has a problem with constituent shapes based on symbols.

Michael A. Lowry Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 The same problem happens in the iOS version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awakenedbyowls Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Just playing about with Mesh and Perspective in Shape Builder on iPadOS there - crash Been using this on the iPad for over a year now and crashing has been a regular feature of both V1 and V2 A slightly different UI, a few new features that so far don't seem like they'll be any use to me and one crash so far is hardly going towards incentivising me to upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael A. Lowry Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 Any news on this topic? Has this problem been accepted as a bug? Is there a public bug tracker somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael A. Lowry Posted December 11, 2022 Author Share Posted December 11, 2022 @Ben: Is it fair to say that bugs specific to Symbols are not the top priority? (I recall that it took years to fix the Copy-and-Paste Symbols bug.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
