Problems with contour lines

[PaRunk]

Hello everybody,

I was just about to create a halftone screen from vectors in Designer. But now I have a problem.

My approach:
1. I first created a 1pt dotted line.
2. I converted these to get individual surfaces.
3. Then I duplicated it (Ctrl + J) and moved it.
4. Then I created more duplicates with Ctrl + J.
5. Now I have started to give each duplicate a contour, which I have always strengthened by 0.1 pt.

But from a contour thickness of 2pt a distance forms between the surface and the contour, which increases further and further when I increase the contour thickness (see attached picture).

I think that shouldn't really happen when you're reinforcing a contour.

Put a pink line where the problem starts. I'll also enclose my file so that you can take a closer look at it.

Hi PaRunk,

Firstly this is nothing to do with the Contour Tool - none of these objects have a contour applied. However they do have a stroke (the two are very different inside the application and important to avoid confusion).

With that said we're aware of the issue and it happens when there is a large difference between the size of the original object, and its stroke - instead of continuing to fill it is instead creating a gap between the object and its stroke. It is with development however I've bumped it with your file.
