shustovcreates Posted July 10, 2021 Posted July 10, 2021 Man... Im speechless. Im literally just gave affinity another chance and there it is again. The most stupid issue you can ever imagine, making it impossible to complete your task. BTW it seems my ipad doesnt have this issue Edit: I was wrong, its the same thing 1.9.2.1035 I regret spending my money on affinity I mean.. WHY?? Is it HARD? also theres a post with same issue from 5 months ago:https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/144848/affinity-designer-how-can-i-preserve-a-stroke-cap-when-i-expand-stroke 2021-07-10 16-30-12.mp4 stroke.afdesign Quote
G13RL Posted July 10, 2021 Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) Hi @shustovcreates, You created your circles with the "Donut" tool, create them with the "Ellipse Tool" instead, convert them to curves and "Expand Stroke" will work as expected. EDIT: Attached is an afdesign file with the recorded history. untitled.afdesign Edited July 10, 2021 by G13RL Add file shustovcreates 1 Quote

G13RL Posted July 10, 2021 Posted July 10, 2021 Sorry, but according to your file, it was "Donut Tool". I'm afraid you'll have to do it again. Quote

Thats how I created it. So anyway, I expanded stroke in illustrator and everything looks fine to me. Thank you for help and giving this useful info 2021-07-10 17-37-58.mp4 Quote
G13RL Posted July 10, 2021 Posted July 10, 2021 Thanks for the video. I just looked further, if you start from a donut, set "Hole Radius" to 100%, convert to curves, remove the unwanted part and the ends remain rounded after "Expand Stroke". Quote
G13RL Posted July 10, 2021 Posted July 10, 2021 With "Pie Tool", leave it as it is at the beginning of your video, convert it into curves, remove the unwanted part and do "Expand Stroke", the ends will remain rounded. Quote
shustovcreates Posted July 10, 2021 Author Posted July 10, 2021 Thank you. Hope devs will fix this issue Quote
