lafasta Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Does anyone know how to fix this (see image). When using the vector brush with the apple pencil the start point is always a blob. I need it to be a Sharp point like the brush is defined as. No matter what I change the settings to the start point always behaves the same. It doesn't matter whether I use ipad or desktop. I've tried adding a small rope and window stabilizer but the same thing keeps happening. Any other suggestions? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted July 15, 2020 Staff Share Posted July 15, 2020 Hi lafasta, Unfortunately this is a known issue that is with development to be fixed. I will get your comments passed on. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafasta Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 Is there any work around? Or timeline on when this will be resolved? The vector brush is almost useless if there's no way to fix this. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vector brush is almost useless if there's no way to fix this. Thanks Unfortunately I'm unable to give any form of timeline as to when it will be fixed. However you can amend the issue on a per curve basis by selecting the each curve with the Move Tool and then inside the Stroke Studio move the Start Node in the Pressure curve down to something more acceptable. You can do this with multiple curves selected, however it will then give each curve the same pressure profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafasta Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 This is very unacceptable considering it’s been a known issue for what seems like a couple years at least (I did some searching in the forums). The work around you gave (to manually edit every line) would add HOURS to a project. That can’t be the only option. It looks like the vector brush problem is something that your users have been requesting over and over again for a long time yet the response you always give is the same excuse that you have given me. If your developers were actually working on this as you have said, and Affinity has apparently been working on for some time, it would have been fixed already. The vector brush is one of the main selling points of the app/software yet after purchase we find out it doesn’t even work correctly and is a “known issue”. Isn’t that false advertising? Designer is a good app but this feature is definitely needed. Or you might as well delete the vector brush tool all together since it’s useless Is there no way that the vector brush “known” issue can be bumped up on the priority list for the developers? I know your users would 100% vote for this. Please show that you actually care about your users requests for help and make this happen ASAP. Thank you.

mediumcheese Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I'm able to fix mine by selecting the start point and converting it to a sharp point, but yeah this is super annoying and I hope it gets fixed soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroicNate Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I have this same issue and have had it since the app was first released. It is super disappointing to hear there has been no headway for years on what many of us consider a major problem. It has driven me away from the software on iPad and forced me to recommend others away as well. How can a drawing program not prioritize a pen pressure problem that no other program seems to have?

Artsketch Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I always wonder how it was possible that so many users had not noticed these pencil problems, or were not bothered by them. They can't all be laymen or fanboys. When enough idiots praise the app, it is understandable that the severity of the error wasn’t correctly assessed.

lafasta Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 Maybe I’m missing something but it’s definitely not fixed. Exact same issue is happening in the new beta version. Look at the screen capture video I just recorded. Not sure why mine still does this. It’s SO frustrating! IMG_0279.MP4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroicNate Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 In that video you don’t have the pressure controller on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TlewisMedia Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I am still seeing this issue on version 2 on an Ipad Pro with Pencil Pro. Has there been any resolution on this? I was really hoping this app would work but I can't seem to draw with the vector brush without having to edit the first point of every stroke, that will be a deal breaker for me.
