Designer 2 - Outline Size Bug Possible Work Around May Get You Working. I cant Guarantee It, Sorry.

[Kev Borg]

Hi Designers,

This is regarding the Outline thickness Not working in Designer 2

Now it is Not perfect but may get you thru yr project hopefully.

Lets say I have a std rectangle. now normally I go to the Outline panel and either scroll my mouse wheel

over the outline thickness or use the slider, which is not working currently.

DESIGNER 2 - POSSIBLE WORK AROUND?

Now while yr Rectangle is still Selected, go over to the Pencil Tool on yr left hand side tool bar and

Click the Pencil Tool, then go straight up to the Outline thickness adjustment and you can either use yr Mouse wheel like I do, or Click and type in a size for yr Outline.

Don't click anything else until you have adjusted yr outline.

I have uploaded some screenshots and you can see what I mean, I can't guarantee that it will work for you,

but I have not worked out a better solution yet.

Note: This Outline problem actually comes from Designer 1, way back in 2016, but that bug was to do with having different Outline Colour

Formats set up for Pixel and Millimeters, instead of being consistent.

Good Luck Friends and all the best.

Cheers Kev

Your solution is only working in afdesigner and not in afpublisher or afphoto because it doesn't have a penciltool in the those programs.
You cannot assume everybody has all programs installed.
The setting lines in points in preferences works for now until fixed by Serif

Hi N.P.M,

Thank You for the heads up, My mistake, I have been so busy I didn't realize,

I have updated the Post with the words with Designer 2.

cheers Kev
