egor_zzz Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hi guys, I have a 1 thing that is really bothering me since beta. In affinity I still cant make 1px stroke icons because of the "always center" curve align that cant be changed. Its ok with shapes, but because of the strange logic it cant be done with unclosed curves like in illustrator. Here is the example: Left I made a small rectangle with 1 px stroke. Pixel align is on and it have inside aligned stroke. Right I have converted it to curves and broke one corner point. Voila, and there is nothing to do with that, except turning of pixel align and trying to place it manually (!) in sub pixel space and repeat it 10 times because after export you will still get blurred edges.

Staff MEB Posted June 17, 2015 Staff Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hi egor_zzz, You can use snapping to help you position/create lines/nodes at half-pixel positions. Go to menu View ▹ Show Grid, to help visualise this. Make sure Snap to grid is enabled in View ▹ Snapping Manager... Check the this video to see how this works. egor_zzz 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
