jeffreydevey Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 As the title states, when copying stroked paths with variable pressure profiles and pasting them into a new document, the assigned pressure profiles are not maintained. Should this be filed as a bug, or as a requested feature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But are you sure? Works for me on Windows - if I understand the scenario correctly.

jeffreydevey Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 @Jowday Update: It appears the problem isn't with the pressure profiles, but with the stroke weights. I compared the setup of the two documents and realized the original was set at 600 dpi, and was pasted into a 300 dpi document. I'm guessing this was the problem.

That must be the issue @jeffreydevey. Scale with object should take care of similar problems: jeffreydevey 1 Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

jeffreydevey Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 @Jowday I would have expected "Scale with object" to work as well, but the strokes I copied/pasted were already set to do that. It's also worth noting that changing the dpi of the original document from 600 to 300 scaled the strokes appropriately, so it's odd that pasting between two documents with different resolutions would give a different result. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When pasting into a document with a physical unit of measure, the pasted object's physical size is maintained. The physical width of the object's stroke should be maintained, too, of course, but if "Scale with object" is enabled then the stroke is wrongly scaled by the destination DPI divided by source DPI. There are scaling bugs when pasting objects, pasting styles and pasting FX, and this is after more than 5 years of development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
