Vivian Sayan Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Hello! I am currently doing my trial on Affinity and it has a lot of things I love using. On designer 2 that is. I have used inkscape before and am considering the leap here but one thing inkscape had that I love was a create snapping function. It was so easy to get anything into place with it able to line of up things at angles. Like if I have a half circle and a line and I want them to connect, it was so easy to snap them into place as the nodes hooked onto each other with a snap! Now I am trying the snapping function on Designer 2 and it does not do that as I keep trying. Given this is professionally made with more money behind I have a hard time believing the issue is the program, but the issue has to be me. So my question is, how do I turn it so I can make different objects line up up and snap in place more? Like this example and even more ones where the edges of objects, even strokes, snap into place against each other and so on. Am I missing something as I played around with it and it just fails and I am certain I am the dummy here. Thank you for your time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian_J Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Have you experimented with the Snapping options (click the down arrow to the right of the magnet icon on the main toolbar). There are a lot of snapping options to set the behavior the way you want it. https://affinity.help/designer2/en-US.lproj/pages/DesignAids/snapping.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
