Veilheim Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Hi Everyone, I'd like to create a vector drawing of a map, which contains provinces for a fantasy game. Think of looking at a map of Europe and dividing each vector shape into one of the countries. So, let's say I wanted to make a vector of this map: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=map%20france How would I best draw France so that I could then share the border between each of the neighboring countries and turn each of those other countries into vectors themselves? So, I'd want a vector of France and a vector of Switzerland. I'd like to have them match up exactly. Does this make any sort of sense? Thanks for any advice you might have. Pretty new to both vector drawing for this purpose and AD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted December 20, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 20, 2016 Hi Veilheim, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Draw the France outline, then Switzerland, when you reach the border keep drawing into France a few random points inside then continue the rest of the Switzerland. Finally duplicate the France shape, place it above the Switzerland's shape in the Layers panel, select both and perform a Subtract boolean operation. You will end up with a shape for each country. See attached clip (simplified tracing). brunzenstein and Veilheim 2 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference | Call for Camera Images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
