ThomasHelm Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Hello all, To be honest I am not happy with the latest update, some of my favorite settings do not always work, for example the pressure settings on vector lines (see attached video). I cannot apply any pressure settings to my vector lines. When I create a new document it works again, and some time later it doesn't work again. This is really frustrating ... I hope you can help me.

Perhaps Serif wanted it to. 🤔😄 Missed that, I was thinking about the Force Pressure in the paintbrush context toolbar. I know that Designer has the Controller settings, but again I think that is for the Paintbrush. Thanks..

ThomasHelm Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 Good Morning, Thanks for your reply @Ron P. but that is not correct. The pressure settings can be applied to other tools as well, see the attached video. But it often happens that the pressure settings don't work and that is really frustrating because then you have to delete the whole layer / document and recreate it. I don't know how to reproduce this 100%, but maybe the first video will be helpful for Affinity developers. Thanks again and best regards, Thomas Pressure_working.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a document where this has happened, that you can share? Possibly examining it will reveal the problem. (If you have such a document, enabling the Save History with Document option might be useful, too.)

Sure, it's not a big deal, I just started with my sketch. You can find the document attached. Unfortunately, I always save my documents without the save history for performance reasons.

Old Bruce Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I think that curve was perhaps made with the Pencil tool which can use a brush. And brushes for the pencil tool cannot take information from the Pressure curve.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasHelm Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 Dear all, I found the scenario and I can reproduce it, but for me THIS IS A BUG! 🙂 You select the Pen Tool (not the pencil tool), draw a line and you can change the pressure settings. This is how it should work. But then you select a brush (intentionally or not) and remove it again, after that you can't change the settings anymore. And that can't be, especially when Affinity always claims that everything is indestructible, right?

ThomasHelm Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Dear Affinity Team, The pen, pressure settings, etc. are a main part of my current work and the current behavior bothers me a lot because it keeps happening. It would be good to know if you are working on this or maybe already found a solution for upcoming releases? Thank you very much and best regards, Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted January 5, 2022 Staff Share Posted January 5, 2022 Hi All, I have recreated this behaviour here at my end and have logged this with our developers for further investigation. I will reply here once I have more info. Thanks C ThomasHelm 1 Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpc8169 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Just got Affinity designer and I'm having the exact same issue... any solutions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_VS_Jack Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 maybe i'm late to the party but i've found a temporary solution until the team puts out a proper update: create a new stroke, adjust its pressure, select your old stroke, use the eyedropper tool to copy the new strokes styling et voilá, you can use pressure settings again.
