PaintNut Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I don't see any way to control the rotational axis of a geometric shape in Affinity Photo. If I knew how that were possible I might be inches closer to my goal. How would one take a shape and then make it repeat in a circular pattern?

dutchshader Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 create a shape, show rotation centre place the rotation point where you want it, duplicate ctrl-J rotate and again ctrl-J Quote intel core i5, 16GB 128Gb ssd win10 Pro Huion new 1060plus. philips 272p 2560x1440px on intel HD2500 onboard graphics Razer Tartarus Chroma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 FWIW, the repeat layer feature in the Affinity apps is called 'power duplicate.' The Duplicate help topic built into Affinity Photo includes a minimal amount of useful info about this feature, but once you know what it is called, a web search on something like "power duplicate Affinity" will turn up lots of info about it, for example this Affinity Designer video tutorial. (It works the same in Photo as in Designer.)
