Designer - stroke is broken/dashed

[LisaBlue]

Hi! I’m looking for help - I’m trying to render vector lines with the pencil tool on Designer, but my lines are broken - especially if I draw slowly.  It works if I use no stabiliser, but who has time for that? 
I haven’t chosen a dashed line. The brush stroke is just a plain line.

In pen mode, if I drag along a line, it just keeps adding nodes. If I try to adjust the curve, it adds new nodes.

I've changed nibs. I don’t know what else to do. Can anybody please help me?

Thanks,

Lisa 😊

Does it do this if you draw with your finger?

If it is an Apple pencil have you tried unscrewing the nib then screwing it back on again?

Are you using a screen cover?

Have you tried restarting your iPad?

Thanks, Paul!

The nib is new and tightly screwed in. I have no screen cover.

The issue seems to come and go. It’s happened before, but it then seemed OK for ages. This morning everything seems OK again.
When it was faulty in Designer, it seemed fine in Procreate. I guess it might be a Designer software issue. I did restart the app, to no avail, but next time I’ll restart my iPad.

Much appreciated. 😊

Hi @LisaBlue,

Welcome to the forums

What brush and pressure settings were you using here? It appears as though the pencil stroke is not being detected fully, and I am wondering if this could be pressure/brush related.

Thanks in advance!
