icemelting Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 Hi there, I drew my outline with the pen tool. Then selected the stroke type to be a brush stroke. The maximum stroke with is given as 100. If there any work around to increase the stroke width beyond that limit (effect wise)? Any help is appreciated. Thank you. Quote
walt.farrell Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. If you tap the number rather than using the slider you should get a pop up keypad that will let you enter the value you want.

icemelting Posted September 20, 2021 Author Posted September 20, 2021 Thank you! Yup, that worked fine. Also when I adjust the number, the resultant value is being set as half the input value I entered. Say I enter 300, the value is getting set as 150. 200 when I set it as 400. Any particular logic behind that, you might be aware of? Thanks for the welcome! I’m totally enjoying the Affinity Designer. Quote

The value I enter via the popup number pad is the value that is entered in the Stroke studio. icemelting 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

icemelting Posted September 20, 2021 Author Posted September 20, 2021 It’s a glitch I guess. I restarted the software and it works fine now. Appreciate the help and sorry for bothering you. Thanks! Quote

You have set the end point to approx. 50%.

icemelting Posted September 20, 2021 Author Posted September 20, 2021 Although that’s a possibility, the problem I facing was quite different. When I click on the numerical value and set it as 300. The value that was displayed there was 150. But during a pressure profile adjustment, the value of the width remains constant while adjusting the curve right? If I set the brush width as 400 and bring down a end point to 50 percent, the width still stays the same. I couldn’t get a chance to record my screen and once I restarted the software it started working fine. I’ll be sure to add a video or screenshots to reproduce this issue if I face it again. Thanks!

NotMyFault Posted September 21, 2021 Posted September 21, 2021 If you change the units from pt to px for numeric input you get this effect.

icemelting Posted October 1, 2021 Author Posted October 1, 2021 This is indeed right. When I change the units from pt to px and input a number in px, the value shown is half of that number in pts. It's the conversion at play here I suppose. Quote
