Staff MEB Posted March 7, 2015 Staff Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hi Mikko Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Press and hold ⌥ (option/alt) and click on the control handle you want to make disappear. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikko Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hi. Thank you. I still can't figure out hot to create such a sharp corner like in the image I sent earlier. Option/alt which you suggested did not do the trick.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 7, 2015 Staff Share Posted March 7, 2015 Do you have Miter Join (the third icon in the Join section) selected in the stroke panel? You may also have to adjust the Miter value on the right of the panel to a bigger number. Can you post an screen capture of what you're are doing so i can see what's going on?

DRana Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I was looking for the same solution online and couldn't find one that could help me but i eventually found one that helped me create sharp edges. Below I've attached the screenshots that helped me get sharp edges using the pressure point. Click on the pressure box. Move the pressure point to see the effect. Move the left pressure point to make the start point sharper and vise versa. You can add more pressure point by clicking on the line to adjust the sharpness according to your need. Hope this helps everyone who is looking to learn on making the edge sharp using the pen tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
