tsult81 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Will the very limited line styles be expanded or will there be downloadable line style assets to buy? I need the double-line line style you have in PagePlus. Otherwise congrats on a magnificent job with Publisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sara72 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Hi, If you have Designer and you go into that persona in Publisher you can add multiple lines and fills with the new Appearance panel: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsult81 Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 I mean like in the example below... there is a much greater range of line styles in PagePlus, perhaps they'll come to Publisher in add-ons or updates, obviously a range of line styles is basic to a dtp program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murfee Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 The appearance panel gives pretty much unlimited possibilities for line styles, if you need to have a transparent inner then all you need to do is change the blend mode of the inner stroke to erase Alfred and Sara72 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsult81 Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 OK, got it... thanks for everyone's help... it is obviously a more flexible approach, little more fiddly to set-up but worth it for the complete control over the thickness of the lines. Wonderful! I must learn how to use these Affinity tools properly... Thank you all. Sara72 and Murfee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the styles panel, if you don't see it go to View>Studio>Styles, click the 3 lines in the top right, add new category, rename it, then with your line selected you can add new style.

R C-R Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 So far, the only thing I find mildly disappointing about the Appearance panel is it does not support adding multiple fills or strokes to text objects. Perhaps they can add that in some future update....
