laluma Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 It will be great if there was a scissors tool like there is on illustrator to make cutting easier. at the moment it is kind of complicated. Jowday, Old Bruce and Markio 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hokusai Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I'd prefer something better than what is offered in Illustrator and hopefully that is what the guys are cooking up, that is my hope anyways! Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad_Wolf Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 The knife tool will be in the 1.7 release. I read it somewhere along the line but can't remember when. I have an older beta version but cannot find the knife tool. Maybe it will be added later in the beta cycle or in another release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryce Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 isn't the way that AD splits lines better than the knife in IL? I never liked the scissors or the knife but the direct click and then split seems to work well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never used Illy, but in other applications that have a Knife Tool you can slice through multiple points on one or more curves/paths, which is obviously more efficient than clicking and splitting one point at a time.

You can split more than one now. You just hold down shift while you click on all the points you want to split and then split all at once when you click Break Curve. Maybe I'm missing something? laluma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad_Wolf Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 @Alfred I can't remember exactly when but it was on this forum. Problem is that my short term memory is damaged during a heart attack in June last year. So please don't be upset when I am wrong. A knife tool should be a very nice addition to the toolset of Affinity Designer, however for me I can live without. I am looking forward to the 1.7 stable version because I am sure it will be a great release! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarJai Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Also a boolean procedure of subtract can cut through shapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
