Boolean operations are an easy way to create new shapes in Affinity Designer. However, the default way of using them is destructive and loses your original shapes. In this video, we’ll look at a non-destructive method: compounds.
VIDEO NOTES
Compounds can also be created from the menu via Layer : Create Compound. You can also release a compound via the same menu.
Some uses cases for the Boolean tool are now easier to do by using the new Shape Builder Tool in Affinity Designer 2. Let me know if you’d like a video on that.
