jmwellborn Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 There is either a missing box "Draw Behind Fill" in the Publisher Stroke Panel, or the Help instructions need changing. I checked Designer Help and there is no reference to "Draw Behind Fill." thomaso 1 Quote 24" iMAC Apple M1 chip, 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16 GB unified memory, 1 TB SSD storage, Ventura 13.6.

thomaso Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 It appears to be a left-over of a previous help version. In the UI it is called "Order" and mentioned in the help topic below (with quite similar explanation): Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 By the way, the "Help" makes me sort of helpless because I can't do a search in the Help.app for an expression (but a bunch of words only). For instance a search in the Affinity Help menu for "draw behind fill" does mention "Stroke panel" ... ... whereas a search in the Help.app results in 35 (!) topics but none of them mentions the Stroke Panel, and, after checking a few topic results, none of them appears to mention the search expression in its article (but single words only, probably spread over the text).

Staff MEB Posted July 25, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 25, 2019 Hi jmwellborn, Thanks for your report. This is an oversight - the help was updated to reflect the changes introduced in v1.7 but the Draw Behind Fill entry wasn't deleted as it should (this is now controlled by the Order buttons in the Stroke panel as described immediately below). jmwellborn 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff acapstick Posted July 25, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 25, 2019 Fixed. Just an oversight as MEB suggested :-) jmwellborn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmwellborn Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 @MEB and @acapstick I was sure it was an editorial oversight. But I was also sure you would want to know about it all the same.
