No good reason, should be in Designer too. Will fix for next build. mr.mare, Petar Petrenko, matisso and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the theory was that the initial release got enough negative comments from users that the developer was going to rework it, and that Designer and Publisher wouldn't get it until the rework was available. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRAFKOM Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 The contour tool does not work properly. A 50x50mm rectangle is drawn on the screen. Using the contour tool and the 118.2mm setting is actually 10mm. And somehow I don't see an improvement in setting the slider with values greater than 50 or -50. If I design large elements, e.g. 2 meters, and would like to apply a contour shift, what is 50mm? I know I can type manually, but this is a stupid limitation. And the reset button for this tool is missing, or at least double-clicking on the dot on the slider could reset to 0. And yet the scaling of this tool is missing exactly the same as the scaling is missing in Coorner Tool. I wonder if it would not be better if the original of the object remained when using the contour tool (as in CORELDRAW, for example). triforcesolutions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an issue with the Windows version - it seems to be giving a readout of the actual pixel value, but for whatever reason showing the units as being in mm. The Mac version is currently behaving correctly in this regard (though it is a slightly earlier build). I'll get this passed on to development. sfriedberg and MattP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
