Hi to all,

Is it possible to select vectors with Pixel Persona tools (e.g. Marque, Freehand) in Affinity Designer V2?

Thank you in advance

No.

But in the AD2 help under Selecting Objects/Modifier Key we can find:

Quote
  • When using the Move Tool, the following modifier keys can be used to aid object selection:
  • As you drag a selection marquee, pressing the right mouse button selects objects which are only partially covered by the selection marquee. This behavior can be made the default in Preferences*.

Is this relevant for vector selections? How to use it?

Move tool is not a pixel selection tool - this was your original question.

Move tool can be used to select vector objects. But better do this while in Designer Persona, not while using Pixel Persona.

Some tools and panels which are visible in both personas work totally differently depending on persona, e.g. brush panel. This can lead to unexpected results.

I would suggest to watch some of the excellent tutorial videos, available here, or search in youtube for “Affinity Designer beginner tutorial”
