retrograde Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Still some lingering issues with booleans. Often when creating a shape with booleans you need to unite everything for a final clean shape. I'm still getting some unwanted results requiring extra cleanup steps with 1.8.2.1 beta.

Staff MattP Posted March 7, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 7, 2020 Hi Kevin! Thanks for the feedback on this - I really do appreciate people thoroughly testing things I do want to warn you though that I still haven't looked at the Divide operation - it gets better as a consequence of the other operations working better, but it is implemented in a sub-optimal way, so until I can give it a few days of attention then I don't expect it to be bug-free, I'm afraid... I'll definitely look at it soon, but unless I specifically mention it in a bug release then it's safe to assume I haven't invested the time and attention it requires yet... Thanks again!

Boldlinedesign Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Just clarifying - when we talk about fixing the code for the "Divide" boolean operation, are we not just referring to the unwanted results but also the freeze up of the operation midway through? Each time I run a divide of my expanded paths, I save first because most of the time, Designer freezes when I try to use the divide option... and I have to force quit and try again. It seems to be more successful on smaller doses of objects to divide... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uwe367 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I´m a Windows User, but i don´t want to open a new Thread in the Windows Forum in this case. I think that it is the same Problem in Windows and so i post here. @MattP Yes, the divide Operation works better then before. Maybe you know the Files and Videos which i provided (with the overlapping circles) and where the Result was that there are after dividing more than 1000 single objects where only 31 should be. The Result is better now, but still not good. I belive that the biggest Problem is when more than two Objects are overlapping. I tested it with 10 Circles, but they only overlapp one by one. An other Test with three or more overlapping Objects let go the divide Operation crazy. I created a new Screenvideo which shows what i explained with the overlapping divided Objects. The first Parts shows if there is only one Object overlapping, the second Part if there are more overlapping Objects. And take a Look to the Top Left in the Video which counts the singel Objects after dividing. Maybe it helps a little bit.... 2020-03-08-08-52-00.mp4 retrograde 1 Have a nice day.

Fixed at least on "crash bug" - if it didn't fix your problem it would be a good idea to upload a test (example) file for @MattP with a few "steps to reproduce" instructions. 🙂 MattP 1 "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."
