Inverted Cog?

[Steel Rat]

Hello All,

I've been playing around with the cog tool, and I'm trying to figure out a way to create a cog with the teeth on the inside. Anything obvious I might be missing?

No, AFAIK you have to construct your own (cog + donat or the like).

[Steel Rat]

Thanks for the reply. Any idea how one would do that?

You could  play around with a cog and a donut as @v_kyr suggests.

Hi all,

You can also create a compound with "Subtract". 

To create a Compound:

1. Select multiple objects.
2. Do one of the following:
   • From the Layer menu, select Create Compound.
   • Hold down the ALT key and, on the Toolbar, select Add, Subtract, Intersect or Combine.

To change the compound mode of individual objects:

1. In the Layers panel, click the object's compound mode icon.
2. Select a compound mode from the pop-up menu.

To add an object to a Compound:

• In the Layers panel, drag the object on top of the compound object.

The object is included in the Compound using the default Add mode.

To remove an object from a Compound:

• In the Layers panel, drag the object from inside the compound object to a layer.

To break up a Compound:

1. Select the Compound.
2. From the Layer menu, select Release Compound.

Something to get our teeth into?

[toltec]

Yes, it's nice when people can mesh to come up with new ideas

You have to be cognitively aware.

I'm just not geared up to answer those types of question.

[Steel Rat]

I'm sensing come cognitive dissonance.

But seriously folks. Thanks for the suggestions. I should have mentioned that i' using Affinity Photo, don't have designer. So I don't have the Compound option on the Layer menu. I think to Cog and donut combo will work, though. Just need to figure out how to combine them so they share styles and such.
