Expand Stroke Layer Naming

[Rogue Seven]

Hello,

I'm using Affinity Designer to create a svg map which is to be processed by a custom software. This programm requires a path and its expanded stroke. Is it possible to get a path name like "path_XXX_expanded"? This would make my work a lot simpler.

Thank you in advance.

Greetings

Hi Rogue Seven,

Unfortunately its not possible to name paths in Affinity you could name each layer however I'm not sure if this would fit your purpose.

Thanks

Hey @Callum,

thanks for your quick response. Layer naming is what I meant to say. Sorry for that.

Unfortunately, after naming the layers and expanding stroke my layer names are gone. Any idea how to fix this?

Hi Rogue Seven,

This is by design as expand stroke creates a new layer.

@Callum, I know this. Sorry again for not explaining it fully.
If I expand the strokes the layer names are lost. I want them to be named after the layer they came from.

There is no setting for this behaviour currently within the app I recommend making a post in our Feature Requests section
