Another Tutorial Video about Affinity Designer

In this video I look at the various options you have for setting the look of the stroke around objects. There are two ways to get to the settings panel for the stroke. In the studio area on the right hand side you can I get to the stroke panel there. When you have something selected you can get to the stroke panel from the menu at the top of the application. It’s not just about setting the width of the stroke, you can also set how’s the ends of the strokes look. You can add arrows and other objects to the end of a line or a stroke around an object.

Use the strokes panel to set if you want the stroke to be inside the object or outside the object. The default stroke is centred on the object. It’s also possible to have the stroke scale with the size of the object. Make the object bigger and the stroke of the object will change depending upon the size of the object.
