Expand stroke issues on dashed lines


Paul Mc

Recommended Posts

I'm working with an old design where I've (unfortunately?) used lots of dashed lines for a pattern fill. I need to convert everything to curves for this job. I'm seeing issues and as a consequence the patterns are no longer consistent across the filled areas. I can't show the actual design but here's an illustration:

The red is the original vector and the green at 50% is the result after Layer | Expand Stroke has been applied. The curve has a negative phase and it looks like this gets set to zero when the expand is applied. Also notice the funky shapes top-left and the corner top-right.

This is in the latest release of AD under Windows 10.

Any thoughts?

Hi Paul,

This is something we're aware of and with development to be fixed. Obviously I know you're unable to share your file, but would it be possible for you to copy the offending Dash objects (prior to expanding) into a new document and attach that? I can get that added as a sample file to the issue.
