Affinity Designer : Ipad pro - Customize shape menu

[Guiem]

Hello everyone,

I'm actualy encountering a problem with Affinity Designer on my Ipad, when I'm doing a form like star, cog or other, I don't know how to get the bottom menu back once I deselected my form to change the shapes. Same question if I click on the 5th button (where my blue arrow is) I don't know how to get back to the surrounded menu.

I don't know if my question is clear?

Thank you for answer guys.

The bottom menu is a 'context menu. Changing tools results in a different context menu (depending on tool). To get back that context menu you need to reselect the star tool. You also need to go into settings and turn on the on screen modifiers setting. This gives a little white triangle next to the context menu. Tapping it shows any available modifiers and tap again to get back to context menu.The last button (arrow  blue) performs a 'convert to curves' and won't hide the context menu in this case.

You might find the AD PDF  Help file useful. It is is the Resources area.

Once the shape has been converted to a curve you are no longer able to use the shape tool menu to edit the object which is why the tool changes to the node tool, to go back to the original shape you will need to using the undo tool

Hi guys, thank you very much for the answers, I understand better now.

DM1 I not tried it really well, but I didn't see the white triangle that you speak about.

Thank you

As @DM1 mentioned, you need to have the ‘On-screen modifier keys’ option turned on.
