![]() In addition to making regular geometric shapes (Illustrator's Pathfinder), you can also make compound shapes allowing the multiple shapes to be repositioned. With your objects selected, click on one to perform an operation. The second set from the top right are your boolean tools. When two or more objects are intersecting, you can merge, subtract, divide, and perform other geometric operations. After that, you can hold Shift to select multiple objects in that group or clip. ![]() Selecting Individual Objects in Groups and Clips: (This is good for creating the illusion of an unclosed path for drawings such as hair, and it is good for creating comic cells.) To remove your mask, click on the mask's "thumbnail" and delete it. Additionally, you can drag objects to the right of a layer's thumbnail in the Layers studio to crop them in that layer's object. It crops the selected object(s) instead of the canvas. The Crop Tool works differently from other applications. This is good for shading.) To unclip the objects, drag them out of the clipped layer, or cut and paste with the last button on the top right unselected. With the last button selected, they will be pasted inside the selected object in that exact position. Copied or cut objects will always be pasted in the position they were at previously. (The last button on the last set in the top right can also clip objects. Anything that bleeds off the clipped object's space will be hiding. In other words, it is like creating a window. If you drag curves in another curve through the Layers studio, then you clip those objects inside one. (Make sure you drag them into a layer and not a curve accidentally.) Whether you are creating layers, groups, or clips, objects can be dragged in and out through the Layers studio. Create a new Vector Layer, and drag all of the curves in. ![]() By default, each curve is on its own layer. The route layer can be opened and closed revealing or hiding the curves. (This applies differently for creating multiple artboards for multiple exports.)Ī nested layer is a set of curves inside a route layer. Once you are happy, press delete to remove that artboard but keep the new size. The created contour will no longer be editable if this option is selected.Affinity Designer is definitely my program now, so I will be listing any tips and tricks newcomers might be interested in.Ĭreate a box with the Artboard Tool and find the size you like.
