  @Boldline If I understand correctly, I think you need to enable 'Show Nodes of Selected Shapes' in Preferences > Editing Options.

  Hi @Boldline The Reason while you can not import Affinity Designer Brushes may also be , that only one Brush in Affinity Designer is a real Vector Brush. The others are Bitmaps along a Vector Path.

  @vectoradmin i just sent you the file and an explanation. Basically the left side of the sunglasses were initially a copy and flip of the right side. So everything on the left side will be in reverse I assume - based on other discussions in the forum about that. Maybe the solution here is I need to flip the path direction?

  @vectoradmin I'm using only mouse now. In Canvas&Artboard / Styles panel both methods are working - two clicks & Return key. Non of them work in Layers panel. https://recordit.co/nxTCRjltyt

  @KF Thanks for the image. I tested it, and with anti aliasing turned off (View -> Subpixel -> None) here is what I get: The anti-aliasing artifact is in the backlog (list of things to fix), and I will try to find a solution for that.

  @encart For this, you must align to a key object, and specify the key object by clicking: steps from the video: https://recordit.co/R83pZ7gBOA select the objects select key object mode (second in the left group at the panel bottom). click on the key object, in this case object 3 on your picture. click the alignment buttons.

  @Boldline There is no eyedropper tool for character style, but the Copy / Paste Character Style in the Edit -> Attributes menu should help with this. For other attributes (like fill, outline, etc) the eyedropper tool should work.

  @Boldline This probably works only on the Mac, but horizontal swiping while hovering over the context panel should scroll the content of it.

  @encart Character styles are stored in the document. There are multiple ways to reuse character styles between documents: create and use a document template containing the styles. export the character styles to a file and import into another document. use character style presets (instead of styles), but these are not linked. link an other document containing the character styles using the Styles -> Document Links command.

  I can confirm that performance is far better in the latest version of the app - thanks @vectoradmin Just did a little test on a 1.5m wide banner gradient background… and the responsiveness of the canvas and artboards was great. Brilliant!! Video example

  @Boldline I'm not sure about this one. The Stroke panel is large as it is. The Stroke Width panel contains options used only when editing the width profiles. But these can be docked into one column.
