Shapes can't be edited in context toolbar

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I wanted to use the poligon shape in Affininty Publisher to create a perfect triangle , but I missed the context toolbar to change the amount of sides. 

I also tried to do it from publischer in the designer persona, but that didn't help!

 

Regards,

Aldert Ottens

Thanks for comment,

Another user said I should look in the "view menu" for the option "show context toolbar". I was confused because I wasn't expecting that you could  "not" show the context toolbar! In my opinion that shouldn't be possible. Because you will need it most of the time when using one of the tools. 

Thx!

Being able to hide the Context Toolbar is a standard feature of all the Affinity applications. And it's probably used by and useful for some users, as it gets them a bit more screen space to work on their designs, once the options for the tool they're currently using have been set.

But you may be right that it would be needed when switching tools, so perhaps it could show automatically when someone has selected a new tool, or there could be a preference for that.

Of course, if you didn't turn it off, then the real question for your case is what bug caused it to be turned off.

You are probable right assuming that hiding the context toolbar would save some people some space. I don't know yet, that it's a bug, because I can't remember using the option, but I will wait and see if it will spontaneously happen again. :)

Thx!
