Hi guys,

I want to cut/copy only a part of the curve but I can't get it to work..for example, i want the part of the curve between any two points I mark on the path ..how do i do it?

Many thanks

Since the Affinity apps don’t have a Knife Tool yet, you have to do this by choosing the Node Tool, selecting the two nodes at the ends of the segment you want to isolate, and using ‘Break Curve’ to break it at those points.

Thank you Alfred..Since I wanted to keep the original too, I duplicated it and broke the curve and deleted the other parts! It would be nice if we could just select two nodes and copy the path between them..

Breaking 2 points no matter how many in-between will generate new objects:
