wikevo Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Problem with the knife tool. I'm doing an exercise in affinity designer (a course from Ally) with that slice of pizza. If I have two overlapping lines like in the exercise and I want to cut away a part then I have no way to delete that one part, if I want to delete it then I also delete the part that I don't want to delete. It is very annoying because I cannot complete that exercise, but it is also very annoying with other design work. I have already tried all kinds of shortcuts, I have watched videos on the internet, it seems to work for everyone who has a Mac, but I have Windows 10 and it just won't work. Does anyone know how I should solve this? Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I can hit the delete key and delete only that wedge. Are you cutting from outside the circle's perimeter through to outside the perimeter? Or are you perhaps just cutting a slit in the shape?

Please post a separate picture for each step so that we can see where you might have gone wrong.

Old Bruce Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Are you seeing the Knife tool turn into a scissors icon? Make sure the closed shape is selected when you use the scissors.
