njakeman 0 Posted March 7, 2018 Hi forum, On both Photo and Designer, I'm often confused by when my vector stroke styles are either inherited from the last object I create or not. I can't work out the rules for how this happens - can anyone advise on how to control this behaviour either way? Similar issues when I just want to draw a new vector with a new fill colour. So I might select the previous vector layer because I want to insert a new object in front of it. This object will always inherit the style of the one I have selected, which is often not what I want, and can make it hard to see the new shape. I have to change the fill and stroke afterward to stand out against the underlying object. I'm sure I'm missing something simple here!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee D 403 Posted March 9, 2018 Each tool will retain the settings from when it was last used. You can reset the Fill and Stroke back to their default Black & White via a keyboard shortcut. Open Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts, set the first dropdown to Draw or Photo and the second to Miscellaneous and look for Set fill to Black & White. iMac 27" 5k macOS - iPad Pro 12.9" 256GB Affinity Photo Tutorials / Affinity Designer Tutorials / Affinity Photo for iPad / Affinity Designer for iPad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njakeman 0 Posted March 13, 2018 Thanks Lee. Any advice on the second bit? i.e. how to draw a differently styled object in front of the layer you have selected Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
