For some unknown reason, the divide op also closes open paths, even if applied to a single open path.Įven if the line is a two node open path, if you bend it slightly, that gives it an area, & the divide operation will work, but it won't help much because you end up with 3 closed paths, like in this divide op.afdesign example: So when it is part of a divide operation it is removed.
When I do the same in AD, the straight line disappears and the open path(selected path) turns to a closed one.įor what very little it is worth, this happens because in Affinity a straight line is considered to be a one dimensional object that has no area (the stroke width is ignored). In Adobe Illustrator, we can achieve this by selecting both the open paths and selecting "divide" in the Pathfinder panel.
(But, we really do need a simple intersect option) Just add a point on the curve super close to the intersection and snap it to the straight line.) (Edit: but then again if you have to zoom way in you probably don't even need the first point. Delete the first point if needed. Sure technically it's changing the curve slightly, but if you do it when zoomed in 1,000,000% I really don't think it'll be noticeable at 100% Add a point on the curve right close to it and snap the curve point to the first point. If you want the new point on the curve instead, do the above then zoom in super close to the snapped point on the straight line. If your cursor movement follows reasonably close to the line the point will be constrained to the straight line. Move it til it snaps onto the target geometry. Now hold down the shift key and move the new point. Make sure Snap to Object Geometry is checked in snapping options. Īdd a node anywhere on the straight line.
This workaround will only work if one of the intersecting elements is a straight line or segment.
