Hi Joachim_L

Thanks for letting us know. I'll get this passed on to development.

We have made fixes/improvements to this area (Dashed Strokes fail to expand when set to Inner/Outer) of the program in the latest customer beta. If you would like to try these changes the beta software is available in the forum posts listed below.

The latest beta builds are downloadable from links at the top of each of these beta forum posts.

• Affinity Photo 1.8.1.611 for Windows
• Affinity Photo 1.8.2.174 for Mac
• Affinity Designer 1.8.1.611 for Windows
• Affinity Designer 1.8.2.4 for Mac
• Affinity Publisher 1.8.2.619 for Windows
• Affinity Publisher 1.8.2.619 for Mac

These betas install parallel, next to the release version (they do not overwrite your release) and so the fixes can be tried in the beta without affecting your normal workflow in the release version.

Once these programs have been through a full beta process the change will be released in a future free 1.8.1/1.8.2 update/patch to all customers.

interesting, my dashed / dotted line will not expand at all, it stays a curve.

Just want to point out a bug, the stroke on the left and when expanded crops the circle on the edge of the line.

Also is there no way to evenly distribute to corners...? Ex Ai user.
