Insane_Fox Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 What about trim too? Something like in AutoCAD? You have 2 crossed lines in vector. With this tool you click to one line and its trimmed, so parth of line where you click is deleted to to close intersection with other line. This can be big help. How people do you it now? Im clicking in line with Node tool and click to broke line and one parth of line I delete. Problem is snap to intescection point. Snap dont work very well. I have to click other line, then end of celection and fast click to line that I want trim. If I draw something like building in perspective view, I draw many lines from perspective points. Its many cutting its want many time. With this tool its can be do soooo easy and fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 You can probably use the Shape Builder Tool for most of what you want to do, but its efficacy will depend on the design you're using it on – see attached video. Note: I’m holding the Alt key down while I mouse around and click. 2023-07-08 12-37-51.mp4 Tupaia and Hilltop 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evtonic3 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Please add a trim function to the boolean operators. The shape builder may work but it's too tedious after a complex design is made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duh-G Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I also hope for the a bolean trim function. The few bolean functions offered makes for awkward back-engineering to do a simple task. A trim function can result in cleaner files, and less garbage overlap piling up. When working in wireframe the piled up overlapping objects can look like a rats nest. Please add a trim bolean function. Okay I'm back to update and add that I had not used the Shape Builder Tool before. After decades of working with the "Other" software my practise is going through massive change. After purchasing and struggling with Affinity Designer V1, my enthusiasm waned. Then finally purchasing a new mac some months back and swearing off the "Other" subscription sucking software(rentier capitalism). My point being that the Shape Builder tool is doing a lot of what I used the old trim tool(bolean) to do. Still working with a larger cluster of shapes does get a little like picking fly s**t out of pepper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChintaM Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Please add a trim tool as part of shape builder tools. It's very important for a complex kind of shape design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the Affinity forums. As the Shape Builder already has a trim function (see the recording from @GarryP above) I'm curious what you need that it doesn't already provide.

No - the shapes of the curves are completely different.
