Illustrator to Affinity Tips

I have been using Illustrator since it was Beta.09 in 1987, and I can do anything I can imagine in it except stomach the subscription. I knew that Affinity would be a learning curve, but the muscle memory is strong.

A couple of tips that have helped are: Use Container Layers, which behave like Adobe Illustrator layers, in that selecting a container layer makes everything you subsequently draw land on that layer (until you select a different container layer) and settting the marquee selection options (in settings/tools) to enclosed, which will stop non filled objects from being selected when you click inside them, but still select them when you click on their stroke.
