Andy900 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 When expanding the stroke of my drawing, one of the corners break. I've attached images. The first image is before the stroke is expanded, the second one is after. Why is this happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Images show us what is happening but they don’t enable us to investigate the cause. Please attach your *.afdesign file.

The problem is less evident when it’s set to ‘Centre’, but it only goes away completely when it’s set to ‘Inside’.

Perhaps it's back to Adobe for me yet again I keep trying the Affinity stuff every year or so to see if they're catching up, but I keep running into very basic things like this not working properly. Maybe next year, huh? Thanks so much Alfred for figuring this out! Jowday and Move Along People 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's happening because there is a pair of coincident nodes at the corner which becomes funky. Delete one of the nodes and then Expand Stroke gives a reasonable result.
