Hi,

I hope that someone will be able to offer some advice on how I might fill an irregular shape with a striped fill.  I have attached a screen shot of my starting point along with the Affinity file.

I wish to add two further parallel stripes making three in total.  Each stripe should end at the boundary of the yellow shape and the distance between them should be equal.

I have tried to have the two object snap together but have failed despite playing with the snap settings.  I wonder if it is possible to have the yellow box act as a constraining frame or mask but again I can't see how to achieve my aim.

 

best wishes
