gypsiwoman Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Is Affinity capable of duplicating a shape around the perimeter of another shape? For example, I want to create an eyelet scalloped edge around a circle or rectangle. Is Affinity able to do this? If so, what is the name of that function and how do I accomplish it? Thank you.

v_kyr Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Just draw another slightly bigger shape underneath, position it accordingly via snapping or via the transition panel (insert your exact values) and then group or combine those shapes together. However, there are several ways to apply what you are looking for.

gypsiwoman Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 What other ways are there to do what I want to do? I'm navigating the learning curve and it's a slippery slope. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl123 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 You can move the Rotation Centre of a Shape (a rectangle in this example) to the centre of the Circle than use Power Duplicate to duplicate the rectangle around the circle shape uncle808us 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
