If you are not familiar with what the Lock Children property does, beginning at around 2:20 the Affinity Photo - Clipping vs Masking video tutorial demonstrates how that works (it is the same for Designer & Photo).Yay!!!! I survived the first week of FabAcademy 😃īut week2 has been a real challenge as currently my country is under lockdown. if you want, & move or scale the parent independently of its contents or not, depending on how its Lock Children property is set. You can also convert the parent rectangle to a curve later on, round its corners, etc. The parametric properties of the shapes like the cogs & stars that are clipped by the parent rectangle can still be changed, which would not be possible if you had to convert them to curves to add nodes, break them, & so on. I'm looking for a method that will delete the cropped portions.įor situations like that, why do you need to crop anything destructively? Doing so could make it very difficult to make even simple changes to the cropped items afterwards.Ī non-destructive alternative that is easy to implement, avoids the need to add any nodes to anything, & is much more flexible is clipping the items to a parent rectangle (or any other shape) like in this clipped not cropped.afdesign file that has 20 objects of various kinds clipped to a parent rectangle. The only 'problem' with the vector crop tool for my particular application is the fact that it is non destructive. Adding nodes to all the items would be cumbersome. I have a drawing with dozens of items (not all just simple lines) that I need to crop.
I'm trying to find a method that will work with multiple items simultaneously.
