TheGrudge Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Hi, I'm facing a weird problem and I don't think I've ever seen something like this in older versions of AD. I have curve objects that should be subtracted from each other. When I subtract them, nodes get converted to smooth nodes and formerly straight lines become rounded. I've provided a demo file. In this file try the following operations: Subtract object A from E Subtract object B from C In both cases the straight lines become curved lines. If I do the following, the operation seems to work correctly: Select the Node Tool Select object C Click on reverse curve Subtract object B from C Now the cut seems to be ok. I'm pretty sure I have never seen such problems in older versions of AD. What is happening here? Why does reverting the curve work? Am I doing something wrong? boolean_operators_broken.afdesign S J Damson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gear maker Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 A new beta has just been issued that is supposed to address several issues like this. Try downloading it to see if it has taken care of this issue. Quote iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) with macOS Sierra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESPR Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I have tested your file and can confirm the same behaviour. However when you delete the extra nodes on the triangles (those that arent corners), the bug doesnt occur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect a beta version 1.8.2.0 or higher for Windows on Monday at the earliest. But probably Monday.
