Thanks, but not that.
We're talking about whether you have brushes if you look in the Brushes tab in the Designer Persona. Those are the only brushes that would apply a textured stroke. And it seemed you might be saying you had no brushes available there.
If you have them then you apply a textured stroke (only in the Designer Persona) by:
- Choosing textured line style when editing the Stroke (either in the Stroke panel, or double-clicking the stroke width entry in the Appearances panel) and then
- Choosing a brush from the Brushes panel.
Problem solved!
Have a look at the new screenshot Walt..
Thanks for your help 😁

Can you make a new screen recoding (similar to my video)
- Designer V2
- Designer Persona (don’t use pixel persona)
- Brush Panel should be visible
- create new document
- add rectangular shape
- set stroke as needed, using vector brush
SOLVED !
Thank you😁

So, are you saying you still have no brushes in the Designer Persona of Designer 2, but only if you're working on a new document? If you work on a V1 document in Designer 2, you do have brushes in the Designer Persona?
There are no brush options available in Designer Persona Ver 2 (see screenshot)
The only way it worked was if I composed the file in Ver 1

These two videos are in the same interface, AD V1 😉
But whatever, it's great that your problem is solved !Yes Marc, you are right, I'd make a lousy scientist !
But just to confirm, the test file created in V1 works fine in V2, but a new file doesn't, so no, the problem isn't solved 😒

Great to hear this worked with imported V1 documents.
Seems the brush library got corrupted.
Does it now work for new documents directly in V2?
No, new documents still have the same problem

Reinstalled V2, deleted non basic brushes, No Hardware Acceleration.
Video 1 shows the making of the file in Ver 1
Video 2 shows that same file working okay in Designer Ver2.
Thanks for your help.

A bit small, but seems you are working in pixel persona. Vector brushes work only in Designer Persona (both V2 and V1)
In Ver 2 I don't have the option to use/access any brushes in Designer Persona.
Hardware Acceleration was already off (Nvidia Qaudro K2200 card apparently not supported)

Thanks, Lindsay.
Strange. It works for me on Windows,
and I cannot see anything unusual in what you're doing.Edit: See below. V2 is using Pixel Persona.As @NotMyFault mentioned, it would be useful to have those sample .afdesign files from you for both V1 and V2.
Sorry Walt, I didn't save the files, i could do it again.

I don't have an option to use the brushes in V2 Designer Persona

Thanks for your reply, I have made 2 recordings (first time I have done this) hopefully they are okay.

Hi, I have been using Designer V1 for years mainly for band posters and birthday cards for family etc, prior to using Designer I used Illustrator.
For some reason when I try to add a textured border stroke to a shape it just won't apply. I can still do the same thing in Designer perfectly well, as I always have. There maybe a slightly different approach in V2, but I couldn't imagine why.
I will attach a file from V1 to demonstrate what I'm trying to achieve in V2.
Hope you can point me in the right direction
Thanks Lindsay

@Lindsay Gibb, I've split your post into a new thread, as the original thread was a request for features in version 1.7, which has already been and gone.
No worries Mark, I shall have a look for it..

Thanks very much for your feedback everybody, at this point I haven't tried your suggestions, but hopefully will do soon,
In the meantime I thought it might be a good idea to show a better example of how I used feather in Illustrator....
I like how the top layer blends with the bottom.. (this example was done very quickly, without much detail...)
Thanks Lindsay
-
The one thing I miss the most from Illustrator is "Feather" (Effect/Stylize/Feather) I used it regularly, now I'm loving Designer and have been for quite some time, but would be over the moon to have that feature !

Right... After restarting my computer I couldn't fire it up again. But the font issue seems to be gone (for me on this computer).
The Release version 1.7.3.481 seems okay, I haven't tried the Beta version from that time, I still have it, might just try..

I uninstalled Photo and Designer beta. Before uninstalling Designer .585 I decided to see if it would start, and it did (I had a job I needed to do) I did several hours of work on, it then shut it down. It wouldn't start today... I noticed yesterday that while auditioning different fonts on an existing text, the behaviour was all over the place, no previews, jumping from A to P and whatever, never had that before. Although I haven't installed any new fonts for quite some time, I'm wondering if this area maybe causing the problems ?

Thanks. I have logged this with our developers. In the meantime, if you need to use the software can you please try to downgrade to 1.7.3 from this page: https://store.serif.com/en-gb/update/windows/designer/1/

Yes I saw the Met Service line, it was the only thing that showed up in the viewer. I have deleted it, its a Microsoft app..
I restarted my pc after that, so now I shall start the viewer and then Designer..
Designer beta started up! I then opened Photo, then closed both, neither would start up again. Release version did the same...
The were 5 events, I saved but not sure if you can read them, I might just do them again individually just in case
-
While looking through the event viewer decided to try opening beta Designer and it opens...so I do some work with it, close it, open again, but not opening again ?
Release version didn't open, and neither did Photo.
I will install the new beta update and see what happens (1.8.1.595)
Okay, wont start up, will do a restart.....
