m.vlad Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I have attached the .afdesign file. When merging the two left nodes (quick edit: it happens with the right most ones too, just lower on the leg): you get the leg in the "after" artboard that has been deformed and has nodes in areas outside the vector region.

Can you share a recording of that? I simply selected and joined the two left nodes and then selected close curve and the result is honky dory: EDIT: The issue in your result is weird stuff. Obviously some bug. If you reverse the curve the "non traditional nodes" 😄 disappear. Until you reverse it again.

The vector is from a svg i exported from https://designs.ai/graphicmaker/illustration/243-public-transport-bicycle that i had to pass through inkscape for affinity to be able to open it (it gave a file type not compatible error before).

NO WAIT: I was using the release version. DOH! In the current beta results are indeed buggy. Everything I did that worked above in the release version results in something totally different in the latest beta. You better use the release version: Betas are dangerous stuff. @MEB Regression in 1.8.4.650 🥶 MEB 1 "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

m.vlad Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 then i put that in the proper forum i guess. I've been mainly using the beta stuff because i got used to not getting any new features in stable while the beta builds were 90% stable, but since they've started pushing more updates to stable i'll consider switching over.

Staff Sean P Posted May 19, 2020 Staff Share Posted May 19, 2020 Hi m.vlad, 1.8.4 made some changes to try and fix the Join Curves option and allow you to join two selected nodes together. Unfortunately this was one first things I spotted, and has been reopened and reported to development. It should be fixed in the next build! Thanks for letting us know.
