roberlan78 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Hi, id like to ask if is possible to have in Affinity Designer a effect similar to Ai Zig Zag? Maybe with custom brushes, effects or some kind of trick, maybe? Is that even possible? Thanks ra.skill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 You may be able to achieve what you want using text on a path. In my example I used Windings 3 font, character "p" which is a black triangle. You can adjust the Horizontal Scale, Baseline etc in the Character panel to adjust the shape, size and position of the triangles. toltec, R C-R, Alfred and 1 other 4 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory, Stroke Pressure would work to a degree. As long as you don't convert to curves or don't export as vector. In practice, convert to curves/vector export currently looks like this: (see also https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/130441-inaccurate-stroke-expansion-with-pressure-curve-applied-to-stroke/&do=findComment&comment=759591) Edited March 19, 2021 by loukash Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loukash Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Also, as long as it's an ellipse, you can use the Star Tool. You can define as many star points you want (default is 5) by typing into the corresponding context toolbar field.

Why on earth would you want to convert to curves or export as vector in a vector drawing application? 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
