PixelPest Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Then let me help you: incorporating any locked object into Boolean operation is nonsense to me. Otherwise the lock is breached and/or just decoration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the toolset with the iOS version is identical as I made a starter file with the desktop version I have - saved with history enabled so you can follow my quick steps: Key.afdesign Hope this helps. Cheers PS: selecting a locked pixellayer during Boolean operation will delete it - which in most case isn´t wanted - so I guess it´s a bug - I will use it as a feature in the future though. thanks for the uploading the file.

Otherwise the lock is breached and/or just decoration. As you know, in Affinity locks only prevent accidental selection of locked items on the canvas -- they can still be selected in the Layers panel. So to that extent, the lock is not "breached" if you include a locked object in a selection made on the Layers panel. The rest of it, particularly deleting a pixel layer (locked or unlocked) that is part of the selection, makes no sense to me.

Estalfos Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 double joint when joining 2 nodes I read the thread and I haven seen an answer to this; I snap together 2 nodes select then and press join, results: sometimes 1 node sometimes 2 overlapping nodes that looks like one until you realize they never fuse only connected with a very short line how do I get always only one node ?

Staff MEB Posted June 22, 2020 Staff Share Posted June 22, 2020 Hi Estalfos, Welcome to Affinity Forums If you have Snap to geometry of selected curves enabled in the Snap section (Node Tool) or Align to nodes of selected curves, the nodes of the curves should snap and produce a clean join when you join them (the node will turn yellow when they snap successfully). It's possible a few specific cases may fail - if you encounter one please save the file (just the two curves is enough) and create a new thread in the adequate Bugs section for us to log/pass the file to the dev team to be checked.

Staff MEB Posted June 23, 2020 Staff Share Posted June 23, 2020 Hi Estalfos, You are doing everything correctly. Seems to be one of those cases where it's failing. Do you mind attaching the document with these two curves you are trying to join please (you can delete all the rest if you want). I can also provide an upload link if you wish to keep the file private. Thanks.

This are 1/7 scale clothing patterns, and I need them cleanly jointed in order to make the seam allowances faster by expanding the strokes, which also some times result into bent in nodes, rounding corner or making spikes in. I think they are related. Included both in file. Test issues.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonywaghorn Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I find it really difficult to find some of these Icon only features as they are not also listed as Menu items (so you can't highlight them in the help search) and they also don't appear in the help, only if you manage to find what the top level featue is.

Nick Marsh Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Hello, folks. Is this thread still live? I'm trying to draw the simplest shape in Designer and am finding it a nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
