nwhit Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Just trying the RC beta and find an import issue that has not been there in previous betas. Opening the "Aero A4 Brochure 2013 v2 test.idml" file (you likely have this), one of the text frames brought in has the wrong rounded corners (far too rounded). Previous betas did not do that (see other attached screen cap done in previous beta). Also, not finding where I can even fix this. Is there somewhere to change the radius on a text frame? I cannot see anything in the contextual toolbar nor in the Text Frame panel. -------------------- iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020 i7 72GB) • AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GB • macOS Ventura MacBook Pro, 13", M1 2020 • 16 GB • macOS Ventura iPad Air 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Jon P Posted February 25, 2020 Staff Share Posted February 25, 2020 Hi @nwhit, I have an older version of that text file, but can't find the text frame you reference in the screenshot - can you upload it to the link in your other thread and I'll take a look, thanks!

Interestingly, when I use the Node tool to "fix" the radius on the text frame, it visually corrects the radius but still leaves a magenta/purple outline of the original incorrect larger radius frame when preview is off. And this incorrect import of this text frame didn't happen in previous betas. -------------------- iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020 i7 72GB) • AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GB • macOS Ventura MacBook Pro, 13", M1 2020 • 16 GB • macOS Ventura iPad Air 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwhit Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Further info. I did a new import of the IDML, then fixed a couple other issues where it had problems importing AI files correctly (so I changed them to ADes files). I then went back to this mysterious text frame and used the node tool to modify that text frame's corner radius. This time NO FUNNY magenta line remained! Why, who knows! But in looking at it some more, I can see that in previous betas I am thinking that this text frame likely came in with a 4.2mm radius just like the rounded rectangle above/behind it. And it looks correct when opening the previously saved APub file in the new RC beta. However, when I open the same IDML file in 584, while the radius of that text frame shows as being the same 4.2mm, it is much larger visually and requires resetting the radius to 0.4mm in order to match the correct/previous look and the matching rounded rectangle behind/above it. Perhaps there is some setting I'm unaware of? But that said, I never had this issue when opening this same IDML in any of the previous betas, so this is something new and repeatable. Certainly not the end of the world for an IDML import, but might cause others issues if it does it too often, and also suggest something isn't being interpreted correctly now. -------------------- iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020 i7 72GB) • AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GB • macOS Ventura MacBook Pro, 13", M1 2020 • 16 GB • macOS Ventura iPad Air 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwhit Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 Just tried this in Friday's beta 1.8.2.603 and it still does the same thing. I rechecked the ID file and the radius on that text frame is 4.2 mm. But when opened in the latest beta, the setting of 4.2mm is not visually correct and has to be reset to c.0.4mm. Not sure why it isn't reading/following/interpreting the IDML file on this. It follows the radius settings in all the imported rectangles but apparently not a text frame. -------------------- iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020 i7 72GB) • AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GB • macOS Ventura MacBook Pro, 13", M1 2020 • 16 GB • macOS Ventura iPad Air 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Jon P Posted March 10, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 10, 2020 This is logged with us, thanks for the report If you change the document DPI to 72 it will display similar to the IDML file, alternatively you can adjust the corner values to get it to look similar Serif Europe Ltd. - www.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
