Thanks for the effort to confirm it. Would you happen to know the name of that plug in? I seem to be in a position where i'll be doing increasingly more vector work in the future so it could be worth the investment in affinity is unable to handle this properly.

Would you be able to share how to do the workaround in Inkscape? I tried installing it briefly but couldn't figure out how to bring the vector work into it since copy pasting rasterizes it and it doesn't like the affinity files either, but at the same time I can't export to anything without ruining the caps.

For reference, here's the project file that I've been trying to resolve: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xPrw4KfYjAr1DW-Z6eAhS9OrwqOJjZ9B/view I've tried the suggestions thus far to no avail.

Unfortunately it doesn't work. Would anyone know if Illustrator has a similar issue with varied line widths and their caps?

That definitely helped a smidge, but they're kind of bow shaped at the ends now. Not as point, but not circular either. I tried switching them to smooth, and smoothing the path afterwards as well.

I've continued to test things to no avail and haven't found a proper solution yet. At someone else's suggestion, I tried downgrading to 1.7.0 and 1.6.5 but the problem persists. I've also tried doubling / tripling the size of the document and then exporting, and while the results were improved, there were still the odd artefact lying around. Besides manually correcting individual nodes after expanding stroke and losing the flexibility to adjust the stroke, it doesn't seem like it there's a fix for this. Is anyone else able to weigh in?

So that helps at least, to check if things are going wrong. It's was a letter size 300 DPI PSD brought into affinity so it's decently large. Does that imply that even though I have a shape in affinity, it can't actually output it properly and I have to use a separate program to adjust accuracy at the end?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to use line pressure on strokes and have it output cleanly. When working on it in affinity, the line caps are nice and smooth even with line pressure, however when exporting as pdf, svg, or eps, I noticed the line caps become blocky. The line caps and join are both set to rounded, thus why it looks great in program, but something seems to happen during the export (selection with no background - also tried different presents export/web/print/etc). Looking around through the image, it seems like this occurs specifically on lines where I had used the line pressure feature. I think it's a fantastic function but I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong that results in this problem. Are there any ideas how to resolve this? Thanks!
