Your isometric grid can have integer pixel divisions horizontally. Change the first axis spacing from "64 px" to "1/sin(60)*64 px".
Thanks that was very helpful, I have finally managed to learn how stuff works somewhat:




I have learned that my biggest enemy is 2 curves with the same color next to each other, they always produce some thin line due to aliasing or whatever, so I have learned to use the boolean add wherever I can or if that's not possible I can create another curve on top of the 2 to "mask" them.

After you correct the values, it's all fine. Left- corrected, right-original.
I understand that I can manually change pixel values but my question is more on how to configure the snapping/grid so that it fits automatically? Its tiresome to texture this object and correct the pixel values for every little thing.

Can you attach the file in question, please?
I have attached the file, I am guessing it has something to do with integer pixels but I don't know how to setup my document so that I can draw isometric objects without those lines.

I am still having problems with these gap lines between objects. This time I am trying to draw objects with the pen tool on a triangle grid. Every time I try to draw a box there is a gap in the middle, I am using the UI Design snapping preset. Also the line appears in exported PNG files as well.

To remove the line gap, decrease the X value of the right Pie shape to eliminate the fraction & move it slightly to the left. Increase the X value of the left Pie shape to eliminate the fraction & move it slightly to the right.
Thanks, that does work and I have tested it before but I was really hoping there was a solution for the snapping tool to do it better. There seems to be always that line no matter what kind of 2 shapes that im snapping like these rectangles that Iv drawn:

I have verified my settings and the Pixels value is set to 1.

Hi @bndesigner,
Welcome to the forums.
Are the straight edges aligned on an integer pixel value? Do you view the design at 100% zoom?
Just out of interest. Wouldn't it be easier if you were to use the ellipse tool and Shift-drag to constrain it to a circle?
Thanks,
Gabe.
I have bought this software yesterday so I am trying to familiarize myself. I am not sure how to check if the edges are aligned on an integer pixel value, if you mean the X/Y coordinates on the transform tab then they are integers and not decimals.
Here is why I am trying to split a circle:

The 1 circle sits on top of 2 and 7 but I need it to be below 2, the easiest way to do this seems to split the 1 circle into 2 halves and put 1 half below 2, but I get the annoying line:

edit: I get the line on any zoom, from 50% to 200%

1. I made a pie and adjusted it so it forms half a circle
2. I duplicated it and flipped it and then snapped it onto the first pie so that it forms a whole circle.
As you can see there is a thin line in the middle where the 2 halves join, I cant seem to get rid of it no matter what snap settings I choose.

Looks good! Here is a screenshot with settings for reference on the parallel lines.
