[1.8.0.526] Expand Stroke with Multiple Strokes


Recommended Posts

Posting this here as the Expand Strokes feature is receiving some attention in the current beta - but this issue also exists in 1.7.x

  1. Create a line, and use the Appearances panel to add a couple of extra strokes.
  2. Now Expand Stroke.

Result: Only the currently selected stroke in the Appearance panel s is expanded, but it retains 3 strokes with zero width and no colour.

Expected: All 3 strokes expanded, each taking the fill colour from the relevant stroke.

 

PS - Thanks for the dramatic improvement to Expand Stroke accuracy!

I, too, did some testing of the 'new and improved' Expand Stroke feature and this seems to be a very big improvement. Congratulations! I am sure some of the glitches (see above @Aammppaa's post) can be ironed out.

Here are some of my test results (please note: under each of the blue objects there is an original unexpanded object in bright orange colour. Nowhere you see any of it bleed throug).

I note that this behaviour is improved (though not yet fixed) in beta 1.8.532

Expand Stroke will now respect the particular stroke selected in the Appearance panel. :)

But it still only creates one expanded stroke, rather than one per stroke. :(

And still leaves redundant strokes upon expansion. :(

Fingers crossed for the next beta I guess :)

The issue "Crash when expanding more than one 'multiple stroke' object" (REF: AFD-3892) has been fixed by the developers in internal build "2.2.0.1971".
This fix should soon be available as a customer beta and is planned for inclusion in the next customer release.
Customer beta builds are announced here and you can participate by following these instructions.
If you still experience this problem once you are using that build version (or later) please reply to this thread including @Serif Info Bot to notify us.
