I'm afraid not. There is no timeline, and hence no animation features in any of the Affinity apps. -

1. The object that you are using to clip your lines is shown as a Donut. I think you have expanded the hole in the center so that it 'becomes' a circle. But it is not really a circle, but still a Donut. So when you drop the lines inside they are being clipped to an infinitely thin Donut, and hence disappearing. To prove this, select the Donut with the Node tool. Grab the orange handle bottom left, and drag it to restore some thickness... and there are your lines, correctly nested inside. I suggest replacing the Donut with an Ellipse (Circle) instead. 2. Simply put, you can't use Boolean operations on unclosed (open) curves: they disappear, as you discovered. If you want the two curves to become a single layer, you can use Layer > Geometry > Merge Curves instead.

Xara uses this approach (left click = fill, right click = stroke). IMHO it is very quick and becomes muscle memory very quickly. This has been requested several times before... There are issues of consistency if the same approach were introduced to Affinity... Not all mice have right click. Can you right click on an iPad? Also, Swatches panel already uses right click to bring up a menu. So, sadly I can't see Serif implementing this.

Thanks for the detailed update. -
Warping curve in symbol is not applied to all symbols.
Aammppaa replied to jpfouch48's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
I just revisited this issue today in v2.3.1 and it appears to be functioning correctly? I made a symbol and duplicated it. Then applied a Warp Group to the curves inside the Symbol. Both instances of the symbol received the Warp Group and deformed correctly. So is this bug fixed? -
Some Designer files take forever to open.

Hi @marcomourao. I tried it on my machine, and it opened in around 1 second. Obviously none of the linked images were present. Does this version of the file (without the images) still take ages to open? Perhaps temporarily rename / move the location of the images so that the file can't find them to do the test. -
@colinml You can change the defaults, and may indeed do so a number of times during the process of creating a single document as you work on different sections. I find the Affinity help to be pretty good over all, though I appreciate that it is tricky to know what to look for when you are starting out. Have a read of the page on Object Defaults. To answer your other question about dragging a line into a curve... no this will not snap as snapping only relates to nodes and handles, and you are dragging neither! If you wanted to take this approach, I would drag (holding Shift to constrain to vertical movement) and get the curve very close to where I wanted it (zooming in if necessary). Then I'd release the mouse, followed by a click to insert a new node, which can subsequently be snapped at the expense of (very) slightly distorting the curve. For a sewing pattern this tiny level of distortion will be insignificant, but if you want precision then the approach using the Crescent tool will yield a perfect result.

There are a few different methods. Here is one... Draw a square 12" by 11". Draw a crescent, rotate, then rotate and resize (to get a perfect arc). Use the shape builder to merge the two shapes. Scale the bottom edge to 10" I hope that I understood your instructions! Draw Bag Sewing Template Example.mp4
