Hi everyone! I am still new to the affinity world. I am using the trial version of Affinity Designer 2 for my Ipad. It works great and I like the program very much. The only problem with it is That it always crashes after I want to cut out an image. Unfortunately, the cut out function is the most important for me, but unfortunately I can't use it like this . Unfortunately, I haven't found anything helpful about this yet. My iPad has the latest update and so does the app. I'm using an Ipad 9th generation with the IOS 18.3 I would be grateful for any help!

Hi reddit, FR please so sorry if there are mistakes.

I work in the print industry myself but I switched recently on affinity designer 2 on iPad (was on illustrator before)

I need to create a document wich is 10.5cm X 15.5 cm ( this one is ok ) and insert in it a 10 cm x 15 cm.

The problem start here : I need to make the V shaped cutting line ( called "hirondelle de découpe" in french) for the person who's gonna cut my print to the right size, and I can't find it can someone please help me ?

Edit : Just found how to do it.

You have to select your inserted picture first then in export settings on the right of the file name section there is a "Zone" maybe "Area" in english version you have to tap on "full document" in order to change it for "selection" and then toggle the "print mark" section and only allow "cutting marks"

I design glyphs in Affinity Designer and import them into FontForge. However, I'm encountering an issue where an additional frame appears when I import the SVG file into FontForge, and I'm unsure how to remove it.

Why it add a frame to the arboard? How to fix that? Thanks in advance

Okay, so what I want to make is a pentagram where each triangle is a separate object that I can color. I need the star itself to have inside stroke so I can rotate it properly in Unity, but having the vertices on the outer portion on the stroke isn't making it easy to do what I want. I want to snap to the corners I circled to make my triangle, but I don't know how.

I’m trying to work on the iPad. I have 4 layers all pixel layers, left off overnight and came back and tried to start a new layer and it’s simply not drawing?? I can open a new document with a pixel layer and draw in there so I don’t know what I did to wind up in this fresh new hell. Please help.

I am fairly new to affinity designer and this is driving me crazy.....probably some simple setting I am missing. I'll deselect everything, but when I select a layer to work on, the color I'm using changes to the color of the layer I just selected.....if that makes sense. what am I doing wrong?

Hey, Affinity designers!

Please advice how to draw internally transparent lines using Pen tool. I want them to be transparent inside, but having colored borders (like in image 2).

Lines will be of complex shapes (e.g. S-shaped or circles, etc), so I've tried pen tool plus fill and stroke, but result is something different (in image 1).

I do not want manually draw closed shape as it will be nightmare for complex lines.

Thanks!

I actually have the version 1 and Im contemplating if i should upgrade or nottt

I got the iPad version of affinity designer, I was working on a relatively simple design coming from an svg file. It kept crashing when trying to output a 3000x1000 px png. I saw I could save the project, close the live project, re open and fix the issue. I saved the project into a file, but when I reopen it, nothing works. The layers can't be hidden, can't do anything? After a few moments it crashes. Did I just lose everything?

Using the export persona, I can easily export multiple artboards as PNG files. However, I can't seem to export as PDF. Even if I select PDF from the export options, it still exports as PNG.

Any ideas what's going wrong?

I just can't figure this out. I always have a gap between the start and end of a brush stroke when I use it as a border for a rectangle, circle, or any other shape. Is there a setting I am missing? I have changed the Cap, Join and Align settings, but still have the gaps. Any suggestions?

Hi, I recently purchased and downloaded eps files from creative marketplace and learned that the file type is potentially dangerous. Long story short, I ran them on AD2 and now I’m checking all my bases. I noticed there’s a log folder in the AF2 folder (Located in local drive) and it’s giving me an IPC log but I don’t know how to manage this as everywhere I look, AD2 allegedly doesn’t connect to servers. It essentially makes a log anytime I open or close the app, saying client is connecting/disconnecting to server.

Is this standard practice or is it possible that I’ve been hacked ? Any help and insight is appreciated.

Hey everyone, I can't set a decimal for whatever reason.

The dot in numpad and keyboard, same as the comma gets ignored.

63.5

63,5

gets turned into 635

Has anyone any idea of how to solve this?
