cocoazenith Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Hi, It's been almost three years since i posted this suggestion. I've found it in the old feedback & suggestions forum.So here it is again as a stronger request & as a much needed improvement: I'm talking about the Pencil Tool in Affinity Designer. 1. Is it possible to automatically close a path after you have drawn a...circle...let's say? So basically I'm asking AD to snap to closing the path for the Pencil tool.2. When I use the pencil tool and stop drawing with my tablet there's a problem resuming the shape that i've already created. You just simply cannot continue the path. Cheers!

You just simply cannot continue the path. Check the "Sculpt mode" introduced in 1.7. From the Pencil Tool Help: Quote Sculpt—When enabled, any selected pencil stroke can be reshaped or continued; the former by drawing a new start and end point anywhere along the pencil stroke, the latter by drawing from either stroke end node.

Sorry but there isn't currently a way of closing a shape on creation when using the Pencil tool. You can however close the shape using sculpt after. This will be improved in a future update. retrograde 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocoazenith Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 thanks. @walt.farrell At least one of the two problems is solved. And as a bonus the fact that you can add/modify to the original shape is very neat. @TonyB looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
