GarryP Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 Designer 1.7.3.481, Windows 10 Home 1909. I have an A5 document (attached) that is set for just 12 DPI (don’t ask why). When I add a curve to it with a reasonably thick width (considering the DPI) and expand it I get a weird result, see attached GIF. It’s not a major problem for me as I’m just experimenting but I think it might need looking at. (This is probably related to other expand stroke issues that have already been raised.) very-low-res-expand-stroke-oddity.afdesign Quote
Staff Sean P Posted January 8, 2020 Staff Posted January 8, 2020 Hi GarryP, This is the usual Expand Stroke issue that has been cropping up - small objects will get misshaped. Have you tried the latest 1.8 Windows Beta? Expand Stroke has now been vastly improved and your document expands without an issue. Quote
GarryP Posted January 8, 2020 Author Posted January 8, 2020 Ah, I thought it might be part of the same issue. I haven’t tried the latest beta yet but if that works then please consider this closed. Quote
allenbham Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Hey y'all -- I guess you figured this out, but here's a workaround: Under Document Setup, switch the document's DPI (resolution) to a much higher setting, then try the Expand Stroke again. It tends to work better. Quote
