Arvid_B Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Is there an equivalent to Adobe Illustrator's shaper tool I can use to quickly cut off excess elements of overlapping shapes? In Illustrator, once accessed using the shortcut shift + m, it can be used to quickly cut and combine selected shapes. (I have attached a video demonstrating the feature) Since this tool was pretty handy in quickly creating new shapes out of a bunch of others, it would be stoked to learn if something similar exists within Affinity Designer! Thanks in advance. PS: I am new to the forum and forums in general, so let me know if I may have posted this the wrong way Shaper Tool Demonstration.mov Quote
R C-R Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) AFAIK, there is no equivalent tool (yet) in Affinity Designer. 14 hours ago, Arvid_B said: PS: I am new to the forum and forums in general, so let me know if I may have posted this the wrong way On the contrary, you have posted your question clearly & succinctly, complete with a brief video with no extraneous steps ... it does not get any righter than that.
