Definitely heading in the right direction Keep it up

Hi, I'm still experiencing a major performance issue when altering stroke properties to added strokes in the Appearance panel . For example if I start a project which involves drawing and selecting a curve and then Adding multiple strokes in the Appearance Panel, it's not long until I experience very bad performance issues when attempting to adjust properties to a selected stroke in the Appearance Panel (e.g. the width slider) When this last happened I wondered if altering stroke properties normally from the top context menu would show the same performance issues but surprisingly It does not. *** I have experimented with this further. I have saved a projects when experiencing this issue and then have exited the AD application When I start AD again and load up the project again I do not experience any issues as described above (for the short term anyway) This happens on numerous occasions even in the latest Beta.

I Just had some spare time to play around with Designer 2 and I too after 10-20 minutes things become more sluggish, even when selecting a tool from the palette or selecting as layer takes a couple of seconds to process. I had a go with the Beta, still experiencing the same issues

Experiencing performance issues as well

Just come across this as well. Just adding a new stroke to a shape via the appearance menu and playing around with the width slider causes bad sluggish performance issues. Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080Ti i7-7700K@4.20GHz 32GB Ram

IMO as it is, this Power Dup feature is so unintuitive and illogical.

Spot on, I appreciate the reply.

I appreciate your the reply, a good solution indeed. However I think the point was not me understanding why this is not the default behaviour of the Power duplicate. TBH I'm still not understanding the reasons for this behaviour

Indeed

Wow !!!!!, this really does not make sense imo Thanks for the reply

So is it possible say to simply power duplicate a rotating rectangle (like a propeller ) along the screen (x-axis)? As I'm having issues even with this ????

ok thanks, I'll have a read

I wonder what the thinking is behind this behaviour? To me its obvious that you would want it to rotate the shape itself by default. Is this not what the transform origin point is used use for ? If you wanted it to behave as it does at this time, its more logical that you would move the transforms origin point to the desired location on the screen

Original message is now hidden. I assume its not a bug as it has behaves the same in V1 . It seem a easy task to achieve but I cannot figure out why it's behaving like this or what I'm doing wrong

Hi, I'm able to power duplicate a shape/image across the screen (x-axis), I'm even able to move & scale across the screen as well. However if I add a rotate action with the move action (x axis only), the Y axis of the shape effected when duplicated. (the Image duplicates down the screen as well forming a circular pattern. I have made sure my image/shape has its transform origin set to the centre. How would l power duplicate a shape rotating (centre of shape) while moving across the x axis only? Must be doing something silly Thanks

bump

I find the whole thing confusing

Thanks for the reply

Also if I do create say a shape with integer values and select 'Move by whole pixel' I can still see fractional values in the X and Y of the transform tool sometimes when I move the shape on screen ? Can someone please explain?

This issue was causing major headaches so this thread has helped me a hell of a lot, thanks Great to know regards to using the transform tool to check fractional values however in most cases it seems to be mainly a antialiasing issue (according to this discussion). Do I take this as a AD issue that needs addressing?

Just searching the forum to see any other threads mentioning issues that I'm having currently and come across this one Just for the record still experience major performance issues in general only when using FX (layer effects)

TBH for some reason on my system the FX (layer effects) have a major impact on performance. If I draw just three curves on the screen and add a layer effect to each of them with say 3d and bevel/emboss enabled, and then start editing the points of the curves , my system grinds to crawl (see Video) I just thought I do the same thing on my iPad and it works great, very smooth, no issues. ??

Hi Hens, Thanks, I would imagine this would be the case , will confirm this when I get time as I said before also if a add a layer before drawing I have no issues

Yep I did try unchecking OpenCL Compute Acceleration (and re-started) and made no difference
