Please a Scissors and Shape Builder #illustrator


Recommended Posts

Opix,

 

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. :)

 

Scissors (called knife) is in the list on the Designer roadmap and should come in free updates to version 1. (no need to request...  #AffinityDesigner)  Shape Builder is frequently requested, but can be mostly achieved using the Layer > Geometry options.

Adobe Illustrator apparently (I've never used it!) has both a Knife Tool and a Scissors Tool. According to this Adobe support page, the Knife Tool P_ObjectCut_Lg_N.png"cuts objects along a freehand path you draw with the tool, dividing objects into their component-filled faces (a face is an area undivided by a line segment)" whilst the Scissors Tool P_SegmentCut_Lg_N.png "splits a path, graphics frame, or empty text frame at an anchor point or along a segment."

Would you mind further explaining how to use boolean operations in place of Ai's shape builder?

 

There is a screenshot of my project below. I'm trying to erase the outside lines of the 4 circles to leave a geometric flower

 

Any help on this is much appreciated

I’ve just replied to your duplicate post here.
