Expand Stroke with "Erase" Blend Mode


Recommended Posts

I'm honestly not sure if this is a bug or not, but it seems like one.

My issue is, after using the "Erase" blend mode on stacked stroke modifiers, expanding the stroke into curves using Layer > Expand Stroke doesn't reproduce the object in the way I would expect, but rather produces curves of them all, not only the visible ones.

I've set up a demo file of this and attached. All you need to do is click Layer > Expand Stroke and hopefully you'll see what I mean.

Is there any way to get around this/create curves of the visible strokes only?

I'm on 1.8.3.641 if that helps.

Thanks.

Thanks for the file - I believe it should be switching the Fill mode blend mode to Normal and then applying the 'Erase' to the actual Layer group. However be aware that you will still need to do a boolean subtract operation on the actual objects to get the actual shapes you require (you may need to duplicate one of the 'Erase' objects so subtract it from the base square layer.
