Affinity Designer - How To Connect Two Different Curviture?

[Mainecoon364]

I traced an image then while I’m moving It I noticed there are two separate tracing. (Curviture)

 

1. How can I prevent It from happening?

 

2. How can I connect them?

You can’t, unless you never make a mistake in your life (while using Designer).

Whenever adding nodes, you need to check that the correct tool is active (pen tool), and exactly one of the start/end nodes is selected. Unfortunately you can easily get nodes or layers deselected, e.g. by clicking slightly away, without noticing. Having the layers panel open and visible helps to detect it immediately.

Select both layers. 
use node tool

Click „join curves“ symbol from toolbar.

It can get more complex if the wrong end nodes are connected.

What can I do then?

 

Or do you have better solution?

The method I described earlier works perfectly for the actual file.

 

if it fails in other situations, upload the file so we can check the best approach.

• reverse path of one curve
• close open curve, then use helper shapes to add or remove parts. It is easier in certain cases to work with closed curves and geometric functions than to fiddle with nodes from open curves.
