jackamus Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Is there a way to taper brush line thickness using the pressure tab as can be done with lines drawn with the line tool? If, as I suspect, there isn't this would be a useful feature to include in an update if it is possible. Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed!

ronnyb Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Confirmed @jackamus - even though one is able to reset the curve in the Pressure pop-up sub-palette, there are no changes applied to the brushstroke on the canvas....

Boldlinedesign Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Are we still waiting on this to be resolved? I know they have a lot they are trying to accomplish there with three apps in progress and ipad versions of them as well - but this is a serious need if we are going to be able to really ink designs in Designer...

jackamus Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 I'm now quite happy with the current system. I created a 'Style' for doing tapered lines for ellipses for doing technical illustrations. I varied the thickness of the line by using the pressure profile. See the attached file.

Staff MEB Posted November 6, 2017 Staff Share Posted November 6, 2017 Hi Boldlinedesign, Welcome to Affinity Forums This was already implemented Affinity Designer quite some time ago. The original post is from 2015. Draw the line with the Pen Tool (or other vector tool) give it a width from the context toolbar dropdown, click the Pressure button, then manipulate the graph as you see fit. Check the screen shot below Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
