  1. What is the primary advantage of Affinity Designer's 'vector brush' strokes over standard strokes?

    Answer: They use pressure-sensitive width profiles that remain fully editable as vector paths

    Vector brush strokes apply variable-width profiles to paths, giving natural brush-like variation while staying resolution-independent and editable.

  2. When using the 'Divide' boolean operation in Affinity Designer, what is the result?

    Answer: All shapes are split at every intersection, creating separate closed regions

    Divide cuts every shape at each intersection point and outputs all resulting closed regions as individual, separately colorable objects.

  3. What does 'Separate Curves' do to a compound path in Affinity Designer?

    Answer: Breaks a compound path back into its individual sub-paths

    Separate Curves reverses the 'Add' or compound-path operation, returning each original sub-path as its own independent object.

  4. How do you create a radial gradient in Affinity Designer using the Fill Tool?

    Answer: Select 'Radial' from the fill type dropdown in the Fill Tool's context toolbar, then drag to set radius

    With the Fill Tool active, choosing Radial from the type menu in the context toolbar and dragging defines the center and radius of the gradient.

  5. What is the purpose of the 'Snapping' candidate called 'Bounding Box' in Affinity Designer?

    Answer: Snaps the cursor to the corner and midpoints of selected objects' bounding boxes

    The Bounding Box snap candidate causes objects to snap at their own and other objects' edge and center reference points.

  6. Which Affinity Designer shortcut key temporarily switches to the zoom-out mode while the Zoom Tool is active?

    Answer: Alt / Option

    Holding Alt (Option on Mac) while the Zoom Tool is active switches it to zoom-out mode so clicking reduces magnification.

  7. What is the function of 'Assets Panel' categories in Affinity Designer?

    Answer: They organize reusable vector objects and groups that can be dragged onto any document

    The Assets Panel lets you save and categorize vector objects for reuse across documents by dragging them onto the canvas.
