Barrowman Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Screen Recording 2021-08-11 at 11.36.14 am.mp4 This isn't working in 1.10 :-( Is there a way to go back to 1.09? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted August 11, 2021 Staff Share Posted August 11, 2021 Hi Barrowman, This is working for me in 1.10, however Stroke Alignment can only worked on closed curves, so its likely your curve isn't actually closed. If you enter the Node Tool you should find the 'Close Curve' button is active. If you click this it will close the curve and should allow you to adjust the alignment of the stroke. If that is still causing issues then please attach the file you're using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrowman Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 Thanks that didn't seem to be the problem, but then I used the Pathfinder thingie and then the Stroke worked as one would normally expect. Surely this behaviour is not correct though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted August 11, 2021 Staff Share Posted August 11, 2021 Do you have a copy of the document that you could attach prior to using the Boolean operations? Without this I cannot investigate as to why it wasn't working in your situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrowman Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 No unfortunately not. It was a convert from illustrator though, if that helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all well and good, but ultimately a user would not expect that a line needed to be closed for the alignment of a stroke to work.

Barrowman Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Yes but then those options should be greyed out in the settings, as Illustrator does. A stroke however can have a base from where a user would wish it to expand from, so I can easily see a usability reason for the option to exist to chose the base/alignment of a line irrespective whether it was closed or not. Either way if it isn't an option it should NOT be able to be clicked. So it's a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbobman Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Reached this post with a very similar issue. Although I was certain I had the endpoints correct (it SNAP, so why would it be wrong), I reasserted the endpoint again. VOILA! It works. So if it is a bug, it is that it does not detect endpoints correctly sometimes, and not an issue with the stroke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadStyle Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 @Sean Pthank you so much! This solved my problem. I have been a long time Affinity user (at least 8 years or so now) and I have run into a handful of logos over the years that won’t allow me to adjust the stroke alignment. I ran into this problem today and decided to search and I found this thread. You are right…I found three open points in the logo that was preventing me from offsetting the stroke. This is a huge time saver for me as I use this process often for machining on our CNC router and in the past, the workaround I have come up with is time consuming. Just wanted to say thank you and leave a comment so others may find this thread and solve similar issues. Sean P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respectfully, a 350-degree arc is an example of a curve with an inside and an outside. That said, what is needed is a way to align the stroke to one side or the other side - the nomenclature is not important. what is important is that we can easily do what all of us understand is missing. Now I have to manually move the curve to simulate a stroke alignment and if I change the stroke dimension then I have to do it all over again. Not fun You can see in my image that I need the stroke aligned to the inside on this open curve. Thank the powers to be for this forum I appreciate the dialogue Edited January 6 by Kaz Maslanka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
