voitek Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Then you have to expand stroke on the dividing curve, as I said before. You just have to set a minimal stroke on the curve first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Affinity Designer doesn't have a Knife Tool yet. It's on the roadmap for version 1.x, but meanwhile you can work around the limitation by dividing with a closed shape which completely overlaps the area that you want to separate: Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When dividing on AI it's like a knife, there is no gape between 2 shapes.. see my video again min 0:30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One circle 0.1 pt Stroke, but still not the same result as "knife" tool I hope it's gonna be added to Affinity Designer soon Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did and I have already told you "it's not the same". Plus when you "expand stroke" zoom in and see what will happen, still same for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the right-hand half of my screenshot I introduced gaps so that you could see the pieces; in hindsight, I should have stuck with my original idea of changing the fills or the opacity.

Apologies for the confusion! I see.. What've tested is only 0,1pt stroke, no fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can even do it with no stroke and no fill, but that does make it quite hard to see.
