hkartte Posted July 29, 2024 Posted July 29, 2024 I don’t know how, but out of the blue I accidentally added a brush cursor in Affinity Designer 2, and now I don’t know how to get rid of it. Help, please. I’m sure many find it helpful but I find it distracting. Thank you so much! Quote
walt.farrell Posted July 29, 2024 Posted July 29, 2024 Just guessing without a screenshot, but if you mean the little cross, perhaps you have pressed CapsLock. If so, just press it again.

hkartte Posted July 29, 2024 Author Posted July 29, 2024 Okay guys. So I don’t have any buttons pressed like command or Shift of whatever. I don’t have a keyboard either. It’s just decided it’s staying. Thanks again for your help. walt.farrell 1 Quote
Dan C Posted July 29, 2024 Posted July 29, 2024 2 hours ago, hkartte said: Thanks for providing a screenshot here - it looks as though you've enabled 'Transform Origin' in the Move Tool, as this will indicate the current origin for your selected layer. Please select the Move Tool on the left, then on the Context Toolbar open the tool dropdown menu (next to the 'three dot' Edit menu) and uncheck Enable Transform Origin. Does this stop the icon from appear on your document please? walt.farrell 1 Quote
hkartte Posted July 30, 2024 Author Posted July 30, 2024 Here’s a gift of what’s going on. Sorry for quality, but you can still see that the blue thing moves with my brush. I don’t believe I have anything turned on with regards to transformation point. I hope this clarifies. Thank you again to everyone contributing help. Quote
Dan C Posted July 30, 2024 Posted July 30, 2024 Thanks for providing that for me - it's certainly helpful! You have the 'Window Stabiliser' enabled for the brush, set to '1px' in length, meaning the stabiliser is following your brush stroke almost exactly. You can either turn off the stabilisation option, or increase the Window length to use the stabiliser to smooth your stroke as you draw: RPReplay_Final1722329961.MP4 I hope this clears things up hkartte 1 Quote
hkartte Posted July 31, 2024 Author Posted July 31, 2024 Thank you! I can see now! Thank you so much for all your help. All fixed. 👼 😄 Dan C 1 Quote
