  1. Hey @Ben, Pressing the up or down arrow keys on a Decaying Spiral's Segment Angle field or using the scroll wheel to adjust values yields glitch UI response, as if the values are stuck....
  2. Hey @Sean P, the Rotation field acts strangely: pressing the up and down keys or using the mouse's scroll wheel while hovering over the field, it only increments by .000001 degrees....
  3. +1 for on-canvas shape controls (not only Context toolbar)
  4. @Ash wonderful news! Quick question: is there any chance to have a TRUE PHI-ratio spiral tool option (in contradistinction to the Fibonacci option which is an integer approximation) ? By TRUE spiral, i mean a spiral that is CONTINUOUSLY changing its rate of expansion/contraction, not just at periodic intervals like 90 degrees etc, but continuously along every point on the spiral… 🌀 Thanks for all you do!
  5. Hi @Dan C, so I went to grab the file that was exhibiting the issue, but it's rendering properly now... Yes, I WAS using Cmd Y to switch view modes during the screen recording; I was in Hairline view before switching back and forth between Vector view. Here's the UI element I use on the Toolbar: Here are my Performance settings: I'll keep my eyes open for it to see if it resurfaces....
  6. Two issues: 1) As you can see while doing a step and repeat of the square, the horizontals are not redrawn in Outline view. 2) Also noticed that diagonal lines are breaking up while using the Hairline View mode, under Advanced View Mode...

  7. The Advanced View Mode and Insertion icons are not drawing properly, and somehow compositing with my desktop background image, which you can see in the translucent menubar color and right edge of the attached screengrab. This was WITHOUT an open document. Once I opened a document, it redraws properly.
  8. @Callum It wud be sooooooo cool if Designer gave the choice to create raster- or VECTOR-based FX !!
  9. Are you saying Inkscape’s extension can center-line trace/vectorize an illustration which is already in vectors?
  10. I passed your comments on to the plotter devs, he’s added direct support for that, hopefully soon. Also learned that inkscape, which runs my plotter software as an extension, has a Convert to Dashes extension, so I can address it there… I still think Designer should have this as a one button, Bake Dashes command…
  11. I don't want an outline, i want a single stroke dash. I don't want to edit 10,000 dashes by hand, lol... BAKE DASHES, discreet paths, rendered EXACTLY like they are in Hairline View.
  12. None of that gives suitable results. This should be a simple BAKE button, just like interactive Shapes get BAKED into regular paths/curves.
  13. Yea CNC software doesn’t care about styling, it cares about start and end of paths. As such, these coding/style attributes are useless, just like fills for shapes, hence my original post asking for a way to bake in the path’s dashes into discreet curves/paths/objects… 👍 😂
  14. Yes, individual paths for each dash segment... Expanded Stroke will create an outline shape based on the stroke's thickness. I want to maintain the integrity of the original path, and only cut out the gaps from the dash style...
  15. @GarryP @walt.farrell I can assign any dashed line style to my illustrations, but when I go to plot them, the svg generates a solid path, without the dashes. So in order to use in CNC applications, I use a plotter, I need that dashed style to be baked and replacing the original path upon export to svg. Imagine trying to cut up all these dashed lines manually…
  16. It would be VERY beneficial to be able to BAKE Dashed Strokes, not as can currently be done via Expand Stroke, but via a new command that leaves the lines as a true single stroke line (no outlined path), but simply leaves dashes and removes the gaps from the original stroke. Thanks for your consideration.
  17. On very complex paths, it seems AD's Add boolean command isn't taking advantage of all available cpu/gpu cores available...? It's been over 30 minutes
  18. Yes I know, I posted about it 5 years ago or so, and it seems to have been forgotten, so it’s time to bring attention to it again… but thanks policing my posts… 🙄 Perhaps it will get addressed before another 5 years go by? Similar to “baking the bounding box” issue, that one has been a grievance for 7 years and counting… I really hope these multi-year, lingering issues get addressed before adding MORE features with their inevitable bugs…. NO MORE NEW FEATURES! FIX THE BUGS! 😜
  19. It would be REALLY great to have high res previews of files on macOS/Finder's QuickLook feature. The preview resolution we currently have is WAY too small to be usable. Affinity's file sizes are already quite large, so it wouldn't hurt to have high-res previews like all other apps, and it would be a huge quality of life improvement. Thanks for your consideration and everything you do!
  20. I wish v2.3 doesn’t attempt any new major features and just knocks out the numerous persistent bugs and UI issues, and implements BASIC missing functionality, like this. Let’s get this into 2.3, it’s only been 7 years! 🫠
