sandfraeulein Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Hello, today it would be great if someone can tell me how to fill a polygon path (it looks like a cloud) with a hatching? I only need simple uniform stripes (alternating black and white coloured) within this polygon, but I can´t find how to generate them. (If there is also a possibility to adjust the width of the stripes: I´m interested in the solution. For me it is sufficient if all stripes have the same width.) I would be very thankful if someone could give me a detailed description as my experience with Affinity design is quite low. Thanks in advance!

A_B_C Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 There’s a simple way, sandfräulein: Create an array of strokes, for example, by drawing one stroke, adjusting its parameters, duplicating the stroke to another place (Command + Drag), and immediately hitting Command + J afterwards, in order to duplicate it as many times as you want. Place your shape on top of the strokes. Select all strokes and clip them to the shape by making them a child of the shape in the layers list. Of course you can choose a different colour for your shape or make it even completely transparent. A video about the clipping and masking capabilities of Affinity Designer can be found here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/4069-layer-clipping-vs-layer-masking/?p=16825 But you can also use a bitmap fill, if you want to have raster elements in your drawing … just ask, if you want to have more information about this … there are also video tutorials on Affinity’s Vimeo page … Hope that helps … :) Alex Hatching.afdesign sandfraeulein 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
