iconoclast Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Hi! I possibly found a bug. I tried to give a letter an outline with a selfdesigned brush to make its contour a little rough. So I created a new image, placed a letter with the Artistic Text Tool, scaled it by dragging its edge and then clicked on the brush in the Brushes panel. The brush was set to repeat, but the outline that appeared was stretched. So I controlled if this also happens to ellipses and rectangles. In that cases, it worked as it should. It has no effect to convert the letter into curves before. But sometimes, after having added some objects like ellipses, rectangles, curves..., suddenly it even works with letters as it should. But sometimes even that doesn't help. I attached a screenshot to show what I mean. All outlines of shown objects are made with the same brush and the same parameters. My OS is Windows 10, Version 20H2; Designer 1.9.1.979. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Sean P Posted March 25, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 25, 2021 Hi iconoclast, Could you attach a copy of the file shown (preferably with the text still as Artistic Text) in the screenshot please along with a copy of the brush category you're using? I've tried myself and not seeing the results your screenshot is showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclast Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Here it is. It is a brush I created myself. The first one in the category "Spray". But it's the same with the other ones (and, by the way, also with the dotted brushes of the "Fineliner"-Set that could be downloaded with one of the latest updates). I saved the file with the protocol. Stroke-Problem.afdesign Spray.afbrushes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Sean P Posted March 25, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 25, 2021 Thanks for the file iconoclast, I can now reproduce it - it looks like it is caused by the text being scaled. If you use shrink your text back to original size and then use the Font Size dropdown to increase the size of the text (rather than the transform handles), you should find the pattern actually repeats correctly. I believe it was using the amount of repeats that would have applied to the object's original size when rescaled, therefore giving you the appearance that it wasn't applying the repeats.

iconoclast Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Hi Sean and thanx for your engagement! It was my suspicion too, that it may possibly have to do with the scaling of the Artistic Text by dragging. With the Font Size dropdown it seems to work (thought I had already tested it). Thanx again! Sean P and angier 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted March 25, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 25, 2021 That's not a problem - I've got it passed on to development to take a look at! iconoclast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
