A_B_C Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 My sincerest congratulations to the new version! Awesome work! One small observation though. I am still somewhat unhappy with the Divide operation, and since my issue is already described in a post from some years ago, I’ll take the liberty to just post the link. In my opinion, Divide should work like this, but (C) is still different. Would be cool to have this reviewed for 1.8! Thank you!

Staff MattP Posted January 12, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 12, 2020 Hi Alex! 'Divide' is not implemented correctly and really needs reimplementing... It introduces strange shapes and arguably just produces the wrong outputs (as shown). The other operations are working better now, but I need more time with 'Divide' still...

Matt Well darn, my hopes were that the improvements in Booleans included bug 'afd-2042'. Speaking of which, it would be very helpful to include specific bug numbers where appropriate in the list of fixes and improvements for the beta releases.

A_B_C Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 Thank you, Matt! No pressure. I wasn’t entirely clear to what extend you’ve already had time to work on the Booleans. You did a wonderful job on the Expand Stroke function. It produces such an accurate, elegant output now! I don’t know how you did it, but the results are just awesome!

mdriftmeyer Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Not to put too much pressure on the developers, but that's a basic boolean operation that should be fully functional before the 1.8 release time. Oval and Jowday 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_B_C Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 I believe to remember that Matt once said that the Divide operation isn’t just a simple operation (or that it is at least unlike the other ones) and requires a series of algorithms to be performed. So there seem to be some complications in play. Boldlinedesign, MattP and Jowday 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowday Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Priorities are at play. And you are paying. With years of life and lost opportunities. Will you wait another year for a fix? Two? More? They are not trying to figure out and implement cold fusion. Rather implement a working and acceptable divide operation that should have worked properly since 2015. You are waiting because they let you wait. But you will get Publisher on iPad I guess. Artcraft 1 "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."
