[MaxKøngerskov]

Hi guys, how do I invert a marching ants selection on windows in affinity designer?

In the Pixel Persona, go to the Select menu and choose 'Invert Pixel Selection' (Ctrl+Shift+I).

Hi @TomiBB and welcome. If you have a different question to the original 6-year-old post, it's better to create a new thread.

You don't say which program you're using, or which OS. So all I can tell you is that on macOS, in Affinity Designer, Photo and Publisher v2, selecting the Node tool and dragging over a curve with shift and control held down will toggle the node selection. I don't know what the combination is on Windows: the control key has slightly different functions. There's a tooltip at the bottom of the screen:

 

So you can indeed invert node selection.

It says drag+shift+mouseRight.

When i do that nothing happens but the menu dialog pops up, with copy paste etc. Windows 10, affinity designer. Thanks

But do you understand what that means?

It's: (Left-mouse + move the mouse) + shift + right-mouse. That is, both buttons pressed. And note that this probably works a mouse, but may not work with a trackpad.
