inorganik Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Hello, I have this cassette illustration I'm trying to divide (break apart) without the paths getting incredibly distorted. In fact any path operation causes the distortion. I have selected the nodes and ensured no point snapping is turned on I have disabled snapping in general The nodes are set as sharp I have tried scaling it up huge and the same thing happens I have even tried exporting it as an svg, then reopening it and performing the operation on it What can I do? This is already wasted too much of my time. Edited February 26, 2020 by inorganik Quote
Staff Lee D Posted February 26, 2020 Staff Posted February 26, 2020 Is this opened in Designer 1.8, the update released earlier today or in the previous 1.7.3? If 1.7.3 try updating to 1.8 first and test if this fails can you upload a copy of the file so I can take a look. Quote
inorganik Posted February 26, 2020 Author Posted February 26, 2020 It is in 1.8. I'm happy to send you the file directly but I'd rather not make my illustration available to anyone for free. Quote
inorganik Posted February 27, 2020 Author Posted February 27, 2020 I made a file with just the parts of the illustration that are causing the issue. @Lee D can you please take a look? repro-distortion-issue.afdesign Quote
GarryP Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 I can confirm this issue on Windows 10 in Designer 1.8.0.585. All of the Geometry functions seem to work fine for these shapes except Divide which puts a big curve where it shouldn’t be. (Setting a different Fill Mode doesn’t seem to make a difference either. That’s probably irrelevant though.) Quote
inorganik Posted February 27, 2020 Author Posted February 27, 2020 As a workaround I was able to use the add operation on all the pieces that would be subtracted from the outer shape first and then subtracting it.... Hoping this will not have to be a permanent workaround. Quote
Staff Lee D Posted February 27, 2020 Staff Posted February 27, 2020 @inorganik Thanks for the file, there does seem to be an issue with the Boolean operations which we have passed over to the developers to look into. Quote
