Ahh! That's what I was looking for! I think I was thrown by the term "grid" since I usually think of the grid as a separate design guide element than the background. Thanks!

@Igull

@VectorStyler Thanks for this comprehensive answer! Still a long way ahead, but when I master references I feel like i could be great shortcut.

@Boldline You didn't by any chance click the 'Favorite Font' entry in the Character panel's menu? That is a checkmark, and if you click it, the font is deleted from the Favorites list.

@Harry Looks like the width profile goes through too much simplification in VS, for long paths. I will improve this.

@VectorStyler said in Blends are not automatically transferred to cloned curves: @Subpath Just duplicating, or cloning the two ends will not carry the blend over. This is by design. that it does not work with duplicates is clear to me if I manually blend the cloned curves it works as desired but that the blending is not automatically is transferred to the cloned curves, if i blend the two orinal curves had me just wondered.

I got this, by grouping the finished blend which made it easier to rotate (from the center I think vs from an edge). Quite a bit of tinkering. Not a bad result. Thanks for the help. 0_1670487017668_Abstract_Knot_Illus_Vctr_FINAL.vstyler

@encart I added this to the backlog, will do flipping only if both directions are flipped. @Boldline No option for this.

@VectorStyler said in Trim and Join and .... Extend (once again): @Harry Should it work for lines only, or for curves also? It would really need to work for curves too - that'll make it easier for you Neil

@Boldline Got it!

@Clausj Also interesting to open and to look at is the "Shape" Panel With it you can edit different parameters of the different Shapes that VS offers Menu > Panel > Shape

@Harry Just select a color in the Color panel or Palette panel. Make sure that no gradient color knob is selected in the gradient panel.

@b77 indeed, thats fast I did not know that either So, good to know

@Pat said in How to apply effects to other objects?: I think there is still enough space to get sharp pointed edges but no way by modulating the miter limit... another way ? The blunt corners are caused by open paths. At the highlighted locations, the nodes overlap, but the paths are actually open. Use the Node tool and the command in the context panel to connect the nodes.

@postdes said in About Artboards, Layers & Objects: But what if I want to isolate the objects in a layer stack that are on 1 specific artboard? Is there a way to do this, or a preferences setting to change these things? It is not possible to limit objects to 1 specific artboard only (for now). In VS the artboards are similar to how they are done in Illustrator (for a single canvas). Probably it is easier to work with this model with some Illustrator background instead of Affinity. All objects on a canvas are part of a Layer hierarchy (layers at any depth, and groups) of that canvas. In VS, artboards are more like "guides", indicating areas for printing and /or exporting. A single canvas may contain any number of artboards, placed arbitrarily on the canvas. Objects can overlap multiple artboards, and the stacking order of objects across all artboards is the same. It is possible to clip objects to artboards, but this is just a "displaying" trick, and the object can still strech across multiple artboards (even if clipped on each). And about multiple canvases: yes, things get a bit complicated here. This part is more similar to what we have in InDesign with spreads (canvases) and pages (artboards). And I think the Corel multiple page model is also similar to this. But yes, it is possible to have multiple canvases in a single VS document each containing its own Layer hierarchy. Only one canvas can be visible in a document view, but multiple document views of the same document may show different canvases. Master canvases are similar to what we have as master pages in DTP apps. Sort of a template for canvas content. Reference canvases are "extra" canvases that are not included in printing or exporting, and can be used as a place for various assets like symbols, vector pattern or vector brush content, etc. Reference canvases become interesting once we get used to how styles and object roles work in VS (these are VS specific). For example, it is possible to "declare" all objects (with a name) on a reference canvas as symbols. Or all colors used to fill objects on a reference canvas as "color styles". And these remain dynamically linked: modifying them updates all their uses through the document.

@Boldline Do you have a recording of this, it might help identifying the issue.

@b77 said in Schoolboy Circle Question: Unfortunately trackpad users are stuck with no access to a context menu with this setting This is why the before / after mouse press differentiation of modifiers allows for covering more use cases.

@Harry In the angle editor the units are just decorative. In the position / size the units always convert to [pt] and this causes the issues here. I will try to improve this.

@VectorStyler I sent you the file by email. I was trying at first with the wacom stylus and then tried with mouse - it was easier with mouse but not by much
