What is the purpose of the 'Convert to Curves' command in Affinity Designer?
Answer: It turns a geometric shape into an editable path with nodes
Convert to Curves breaks a parametric shape's constraints, exposing its underlying nodes for free editing.
Which Boolean operation in Affinity Designer removes the top shape's area from the bottom shape?
Answer: Subtract
The Subtract operation cuts the top object out of the bottom object, leaving only the remaining area.
What does the 'Divide' Boolean operation do in Affinity Designer?
Answer: Splits all overlapping shapes into separate non-overlapping pieces
Divide cuts every overlapping region into its own distinct path, useful for creating multi-piece artwork.
In Affinity Designer, which tool lets you reshape a vector path by pushing or pulling its outline like a liquid?
Answer: Liquify Persona
The Liquify Persona provides warp, twirl, pinch, and push brushes that non-destructively deform vector and raster layers.
How do you add a new node to an existing path in Affinity Designer?
Answer: Click on the path segment with the Node Tool
With the Node Tool active, clicking directly on a path segment inserts a new node at that position.
Which Affinity Designer feature lets you create symmetrical designs by mirroring nodes in real time?
Answer: Mirror Mode
Mirror Mode in the Node Tool context reflects node edits across a chosen axis so both sides update simultaneously.
