nicholasf Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I am new to Affinity Designer, and looking to thin out a fixed width text (I need a thinner version of the text on a different layer for printing purposes). This is possible in Adobe Illustrator through the use of a negative "offset path", but I cannot figure out how to do it in Affinity, which does not appear to have an offset path feature.The latest post I can find re:Offset Paths in Affinity Designer:https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/30221-offset-path/Here is how people do this in Illustrator:https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/22315/how-to-make-a-font-thinnerhttp://www.alison.co.uk/2011/11/22/how-to-make-a-fixed-font-thinner-in-illustrator/Does anyone have a technique for achieving the same goal in Affinity Designer?

Staff stokerg Posted June 20, 2017 Staff Share Posted June 20, 2017 Hi Nicholasf and Welcome to the Affinity forums, We currently don't have a Offset path tool/feature but one is in the works, so should make it into a future update. For now, you could try the advice on this link: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/2434-quick-and-dirty-path-offset You'd have to convert your text to curves, which then means it would no longer be editable as text.

MikeW Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I'm not around a computer right now but cannot one use a thin outline set to the inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
