jdkn Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I'm on Affinity Designer v1.10.4 Vector brush strokes look too thin after using 'Expand Stroke'. After some experimentation, it appears that this happens only when Size Variance is not at 100%. Scribble a new vector brush stroke Select the move tool In the 'Stroke' panel click 'Properties...' Set Size Variance to 50% Set the controller to Pressure Set the controller profile to any of the standard profiles Close the Properties Set the pressure of the stroke to something non-trivial Click Layer > Expand Stroke Expected: The stroke will be expanded without changing width Actual: The stroke becomes thinner It manages to take the controller profile into account okay, as long as the size variance is at 100% so one workaround is to set the size variance to 100% and then adjust the controller profile to have the same effect. This also affects PDF export. expand_stroke_size_variance.afdesign expand_stroke_size_variance_demo.mov expand_stroke_size_variance_workaround.mov 1fips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
