Quorra Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Is it possible to create a shape from an outline in Affinity Designer? For example if I have a straight line with a set stroke width of 12px which isn't a "closed shape" like it's needed for certain printing techniques: is there some way to create a closed shape from a line with stroke, in this simple case 2 points (line from A to B), to have a shape without outline, with 4 points and a width of 12px? Without doing that completely manually? Edit: Ok, forget it. Found the option in the layer settings via the upper menu. At first I looked in the context menu of the layer, which didn't help much.

Gear maker Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Sounds like Layer>Expand Stroke is what you need. You probably want to use a square caps on the ends of your initial stroke so there are only 4 nodes.
