Mexie7 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Ok, So I have a couple of questions. First off I am a leatherworker and most of the stuff I am trying to do is pretty simple. I use Adobe illustrator and it works out great. You guys almost offer the same things. First question. Do you offer something like the pathfinder in adobe illustrator.? Second, I am having such a hard time with the stoke tool. or the dashed line ------. Everything is in Pt (measurements) I want it to be in (MM) So for example, if I want my dashes to be 4mm apart (- - - - - - -) What adjustments do I do to the dashed line? There are four boxes that all do something. and then to the far right, there is a phase option not sure if that matters or not. In adobe, I am just able to set my document to MM size. And then enter the number I want in the first box and it does the trick. basically, is there a way to change the pt measurements to mm.?

Mexie7 Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 Nice! now how am I able to get the spacing to 4 mm? I tried that and still when I put the number 4 in the second box or also the first and second box it does not measure it accurately. My Document is also set up in mm. All I need is to when I make a square shape. for the - - - - - to be exactly at 4 mm apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 4 mm gap would be 8 for a 0.5mm line, 4 for a 1 mm line and so on.

Mexie7 Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 Nice that worked. 1mm and then entering 4 in the box gave me the spacing I needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
