SamOfAllThings Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I'm trying out some basic shape stuff in Designer for Windows and I'm unable to Add a straight Pen line and a rectangle together (I'm trying to create a drip effect). However whenever I select both the rectangle and the line and try to Add them together the line disappears. Same thing happens when I attempt to combine them as well. I've tried shifting the layer order around and still nothing. I've attached an image to show where I am at the moment and what I'm trying to achieve. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Staff MEB Posted September 19, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 19, 2016 Hi SamOfAllThings, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) It's not possible to perform geometric operations (boolean operations) between a line and a shape in Affinity. A line doesn't define an enclosed area. To do want you what want you have to convert the line (its stroke) into a shape first going to menu Layer ▸ Expand Stroke. You can then add or subtract it to/from a shape. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
