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:

Does anyone have a technique for achieving the same goal in Affinity Designer?

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.
