Affinity Designer: Can brush strokes be converted to a blob?

[Otto Manuel]

Hi,

 I purchased an Affinty Designer license to give it a whirl.

 One feature I have enjoyed in vector art applications that I have used in the past is the way overlapping vector strokes can be automatically join into larger simple shapes. Macromedia Freehand and Flash would accumulate brush strokes in into vector outlined blobs and at times this was very convenient. I was hoping that perhaps Affinity Designer might have such a feature.

 I don't see anything like that. Am I missing it some where?

Thank you!

Hi Otto Manuel,

We don't have anything where the the strokes are automatically joined together.  Each stroke would be seen as a seperate layer, which you could then manually group together, so they act as one object

Hi,

Group together as mentioned, then go to: Layers>Expand Stroke and Geometry>Add.
