Object on path


Recommended Posts

Welcome to the forum @Romy666

unfortunately not a function where Affinity can really shine.

Can you give an example what kind of objects you want to align to what kind of path?

It really depends.
 

what you can do:

  • use text on path. If a font contains a symbol this is the easiest way. On Desktop you can paste shapes between text, on iPad the UI is buggy and does not allow this.
  • distribute or align objects to horizontal or vertical lines. With help of rotation, to any line in any angle
  • Distribute objects using power duplicate - limited set of figures possible (move and rotate)
  • Use point transform tool to align layers based on selected curve nodes

however, Affinity is neither a CAD tool nor an animation tool. You may need to look elsewhere if that is the primary use case. You cannot automatically align multiple layers to a path defined by a curve.

Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

My posts focus on technical aspects and leave out most of social grease like „maybe“, „in my opinion“, „I might be wrong“ etc. just add copy/paste all these softeners from this signature to make reading more comfortable for you. Otherwise I’m a fine person which respects you and everyone and wants to be respected.

Hallo NotMyFault,

wir können auch auf Deutsch, ich bin aus Ba-Wü...Gruß nach Hamburg :)

Schau mal in den Anhang. So sollte oder könnte es aussehen. Das wurde mit der Desktop Version von AD2 gemacht. Also Objekte wie Dreiecke, Kreise, Rechtecke usw. entlang eines gezeichneten offenen Pfades. In der Desktop Version funktioniert es indem man das Textwerkzeug direkt auf dem Pfad anklickt. Das Objekt dann mit copy and paste drauf setzt. In der iPad Version habe ich es auch so versucht, geht aber nicht.
