firstdefence Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Draw a line with the pen tool, clicking first on the left, then on the right of the canvas. To get it vertically or horizontally straight hold down shift when you make the second click. Duplicate the line (cmd + J) and move it a set distance, you can use the transform tool to move it exactly or you can just drag the duplicate down a bit. Another method to duplicate the line is to select the line, press alt and drag a duplicate to your desired distance. In both instances you can now press cmd + J to repeat the line and it will move down the distance you have moved the duplicate line giving you evenly spaced lines.

I’m not quite sure how either method is supposed to work when you want a vertical line! firstdefence 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polygonius Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 You can also check the new texture-filter and here the preset smoothed bars. If u just want one row play with the parameter a / bar count. If you want more geometric bars, change the equation like here and add a new 0.1 with the parameter c for the vertical size of your choice. And play with the a-bands for the thickness. If you like to see your above layers, use another blendmode to see ... Tomteluva 1 Quote OSX 12.5 / iMac Retina 27" / Radeon Pro 580X / Metall: on! --- WWG1WGA WW!

ronhoff Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Why doesn't AD have a simple off set command like any CAD program... If I draw a curve in the shape of a heart, how do I get a parallel line offset from the first line in a set distance? TIA for any help!

GarryP Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Welcome to the forums. One quick technique is to: * duplicate the layer; * give the curve a larger thickness; * Expand Stroke; * Separate Curves; * delete inside/outside curve as appropriate. See attached video. 2020-05-18 09-25-11.mp4 ViolaZee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
