LostInTranslation Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I started working on a catalogue with the former version of Publisher and everything worked fine. After upgrading to 1.8, almost all technical drawings are broken / incomplete. I have tried them as single lines as well as joined lines - always the same result. I need to finish this work, is there a way to go back to 1.7x WITHOUT de-installing 1.8 first? I don't want to lose all my assts and settings in the process. All in all I am VERY disappointed in the new version. After reading a couple of posts in the bugs-forum it seems that I am still "lucky" that it even starts.

Staff Pauls Posted March 4, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 4, 2020 You could try selecting the lines and from within the Designer persona, select the stroke, properties dialog from the context bar then set pressure profile to 'None' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also went through all options of caps and joins without any effect. @Paul Mudditt, Tried all variations, mitre was set to 2, also no change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Pauls Posted March 4, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 4, 2020 I was able to set the pressure option to none on the clipboard graphic and get that to export (x4 profile) as expected so it does look to be that bug causing the issue. (the PDF import goes totally wrong if I do that though) LostIn Translation - pdf_export_broken-4.pdf LostInTranslation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe I did so with the PDF-version. Just tried it again and it works just like in your example. Thank you! But ain't this a bug nonetheless?

Staff Pauls Posted March 4, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 4, 2020 Yes it is a bug - I've added this report to the incident. Hopefully you can get your export working now LostInTranslation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted March 15, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 15, 2020 We have made fixes/improvements to this area (File specific pdf export misses a lot of curves on export) 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.
