Nuth1n Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 So I've added a document below. I did custom text with the path tool in AD. When I use the 'expand stroke' function the appearance changes. It becomes thinner, and it shouldn't. The appearance also changes when I do exports via the export persona. I am using Affinity Designer v1.8.4 expand stroke difference.afdesign Aleksandar Kovač 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 30, 2020 Staff Share Posted September 30, 2020 Hi Izzy, This is a known issue that's already with development. I've bumped the report to bring it up to devs attention again. Thanks for pointing it out.

Upward March Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Any update on this stroke thinning issues? This also happens when exporting to pdf, and not being able to draw with brush and have it accurately represented on export is a huge issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really 'awesome' and 'amazing' yes. Actually Serif is still struggling with vector and math - try to merge the two expanded strokes into one shape - alternate or winding fill does not matter: Lets quote Serif Software: "Affinity Designer is setting the new industry standard in the world of design" "Best in class for creating concept art, print projects, logos, icons, UI designs, mock-ups and more" "No bloat, no gimmicks, just all the tools you need, implemented how you always dreamed." "Affinity Designer is a stripped back, pro-end workhorse that will always get your job done." Stripped down to a few buggy essentials that works the way 'we always dreamed' ??? This gets our job done, always? How is this a new industry standard? What industry? What class? Put your money where your mouth is, Serif.

Boldlinedesign Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 @Jowday what was the name of the vector app we were supposed to be looking into for Cyber monday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowday Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 3 hours ago, Boldlinedesign said: @Jowday what was the name of the vector app we were supposed to be looking into for Cyber monday? CorelDRAW. They threw it at me. But possibly more discounted where I currently am than world wide. And because who I am. I have two setups; my business machines with Adobe CC - Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign and CorelDRAW as well besides a whole bunch of other programs. I tried to keep the cost on my private computer down - I spent a fortune on licenses for photography and RAW development apps (also running Photoshop on private computer) besides cameras and equipment of course. The vector work I make on my private computer doesn't justify an Illustrator class program. Or so I thought. It was a delight to draw with a program that had a new approach to the pen tool (Designer) but oh boy the rest. The missing features. The stray nodes. The boolean errors. The usability. And the waiting. I honestly believed Serif had taken a few steps up the ladder. Nope. I also have Gravit Designer. But same issues. Few features. So I purchased CorelDRAW as an economic compromise - and in a weak moment. I didn't use it much the last decade but I have had just as much fun using it. And a creative rush. Habit and muscle memory protested the first days then I just created and created. So whatever they charge you, pay. It is an investment and you are out of the Serif cell with constant limitations...walls, ceiling. The moment you have all the tools available in programs since the 90's you can play and create without wasting days or hours on manual work. Or not doing something. The hype is indeed over. norbinw, Move Along People and Aleksandar Kovač 2 1 Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."
