Affinity iPad Student Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 UPDATE: Solved. Ellipsis icon (the 3 dot icon upper left screen, after selecting your layers) Select your multiple layers. (Put finger/Apple Pencil on layer, while finger/Apple Pencil is resting on it, swipe to you left) this is how you select multiple layers. Once layers selected, the 3 dots on the upper (left side) of your screen. NOT the 3 dots directly above your layers, go in there select merge, then select chosen layers (or specific to your scenario). If I saved you time, let me know, thanks.

frankenpaper Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I think you meant to say Combine instead of Merge. But, yes. That worked. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvanGreenArt Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hi all. For some reason the merge feature is not working for me. One layer has a stroke on it, the other layer has a shape on it (circle). I select both layers, click on the icon as shown in the above post, and select "merge selected" but nothing happens. I've even tried turning the shape into curves ("convert to curves") to see if that would help, but nothing. Help please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM1 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 You are trying to merge vector layers. That’s why lit won’t work. You can rasterise the layers then merge them ( but no longer vector).

KristynaU Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Hi, so there is no possibility to merge vector layers? I can only group them..? Thanks in advance for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merge only works on pixel (raster) layers. Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

tiger1234 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 there is a way to merge layers in vectors but they are not called merging. it's called ADDING vector with the Boolean function. you will see they appear still as vector but 'combined' and it is not rasterized.

You can also seperate the merged layers if you need to. 🙂 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).
