iamrobin. Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hello community, I'm new to affinity designer and never really used a vector based software before. Now I want to great a logo, but I'm having an issue with the font. Here is my current status: http://cl.ly/image/2V071f00172u The current outline of the "Robin" lettering is in the same color (red) as the background. But this was just a workaround, because when I change the background color now, the outline is still in this red shape. How can I make a transparent outline? I tried to punch the font with the current outline out of the circles with the "Substract" button, but I can't use this function an text and a shape. Thanks for you help! Greetings, Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 27, 2015 Staff Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hello iamrobin. Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Is that outline a stroke of an object or an FX effect? Seems you've used an Outline FX. If it's a stroke you have to convert the outline in to a shape before you can subtract it from another path. To do this, select the outline and go to Layer -> Expand Stroke. If it's an FX you can't subtract it from a shape, because the effects are not rendered as vector objects. You have to create/use a stroke instead. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
