How to cut using pen tool ?

[X901]

Is there a way to cut shape or line or whatever 
using Pen Tool ?

 

or using any other tools ?

I can cut if there is 2 shapes using this method 

but it didn't work when i try to cut icon with format .eps

And these method is not perfect , it didn't give me freedom when i want to cut

is there another ways ?

Hi X901,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

You can use the Node Tool to cut/break a path/shape. If you have a shape, you must convert it to curves first clicking on Convert to Curves button in the context toolbar or pressing ⌘ (cmd) + ↵ (Enter). Then with the Node Tool still selected add a node to where you want to break the shape/path, select it (clicking on it) then go to the context toolbar and click Break Curve from the Action section (it's the first icon). Do the same to another node of the shape to break it in two separate curves.

Hi X901,

To edit objects contained in an embedded document you must double-click the embedded document on canvas to open it in a new document tab, then edit the objects there. Your original document will be updated accordingly.
