SVG Single Line

[neuronsoup]

Hello world, 

Affinity designer has taken me out of complete design noob into semi noob. Any help would be greatly appreciated in this trying time.. 

In summary, I need to create single line strokes out of some curves/shapes that i've made.

I have taken a font, built a shapes over the letters, now I have shapes with hundreds of nodes.

If I have the shape of a "P" consisting of dozen nodes, is there anyway to represent that by two single stokes. 

EG. 

One stroke for the " I " another for the ")"

Any advice or further reading materials would be excellent, although, explicit instructions would be superb. 

Thank you world,

Adam

Hi neuronsoup,

 

and welcome here … 

 

It would be great if you could post a screenshot of what you have so far. It is a bit hard to visualize what you want to achieve on the basis of your description. Thank you!

You mention having built shapes “over the letters”, which suggests that you’re drawing on top of them. Are you aware that you can ‘Convert to Curves’ most objects, including text objects, allowing you to use that as your starting point?

Yes, this is possible. Everything. There are many ways and tools to achieve that.

 

Do you only want to reduce the amount?
