Drawing two-coloured dotted lines

[Rupert Paul]

I would like to dump InDesign and move to Publisher. I want mainly to draw wiring diagrams, which are really easy in InDesign. But in my trial Affinity period I think I'm right in saying you can't do a dotted line with a major and minor color like the ones here. Brown and white, for example. I can do a dotted line with long and short dots, but I can't manage this two color effect. Have I go that right or is there a way?

For this sort of thing I would use Designer and not Publisher as Designer has the Appearance Panel which makes this sort of thing a piece of cake. While Publisher is the closest application to InDesign, Designer is perhaps a better choice.

Rupert Paul: You could do what you want in Publisher by having two Curve layers for each line, one underneath with a solid stroke and one on top with a dotted/dashed stroke of a different colour (see attached image) but, as mentioned above, Designer will be better for this type of thing because you only need a single layer.
