Lines between symbols

[Holone]

Hi!

I've found other threads with similar problems. I tried the advice, but nothing fixed the problem.

My problem is that even though I align my symbols there's still a visible line where the symbols meet. You can see the white lines on the black. Sometimes there's black line in the white area. I couldn't replicate it this time. It's not just a display error, because when I save out a png or if I use the "merge visible" option on ipad, it' still visible.

I ticked the "use precise clipping" in the performance preferences. I also tried the "force pixel alignment" with "move by whole pixels" on and off. Neither worked. I can't add a stoke, because that's visible all the way, not just in parts. If I place something in the symbol, but not in the triangle shape of the symbol, it works fine without the lines. But unfortunately I need the shapes to stay inside the triangle shape of the symbol. This way the lines stay visible.

For now, I draw over the parts after I save them out. But it would be great if they would just come out without the lines, so I don't have to go over them 😀

I attached the affinity file of this image, so you can play with it:

this is a huge issue for me too. another example : 

2 shapes with no stroke next to each other  have a space .  putting a stroke on gets rid of it .

Document?

here is a file of shapes that were snapped together with no STROKE.  

you can see white lines where the shapes connect. 

the lines show up on an exported pdf too

It is constantly discussed here on the forum - if you require "accurate" rendering (pixel rasterizing) of objects, then you must align the objects (their position and size) "exactly" to whole pixels.

The "Force pixel alignment" (On) and "Move by whole pixels" (Off) options mentioned in this thread also serve this purpose.

huh , thats interesting . 

Is this also what Holone needs to do ? 

 

// if I copy and paste the affinity designer objects into illustrator there isnt a rasterization issue so I will just do that //
