Dangerous Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 For some reason both A-Photo & A-Designer line width settings have started going wrong. If I create a new line & try to set a width of 1px (doc set to measure in px) it sets the width to 4.17px. Whatever width I try to set is multiplied by 4.17 so if I set to 100px it changes to 417px. Even the slider setting goes wrong. Does anyone know what is wrong? Windows 10 Affinity Ver 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Are you able to supply a video showing the problem? There is a known problem with stroke widths: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/search/&tags=AFD-6276 ...but I don’t know if this is a related issue or not.

GarryP Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Thanks for the video. That’s weird; I can't remember seeing that happen before. Do you happen to have a Scale set (in Document Setup / Scale)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerous Posted January 12, 2023 Author Share Posted January 12, 2023 I can workround this issue by setting my line widths as 5/4.17 and this sets it as 5px. It may have happened when I upgraded to ver 2.0.3 but as I have been busy and not done much in affinity I haven't noticed. 9 minutes ago, GarryP said: Thanks for the video.

I checked scale and it was not set. set it and tried but the line width still was 4.17 times entered value. Unset scale & still no change with the issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerous Posted January 12, 2023 Author Share Posted January 12, 2023 4 minutes ago, N.P.M. said: It's not a scaling factor it's the pt vs px factor To resolve this for now is to use the "lines in points" option in the preferences>User Interface. And simply put in the px/or mm in the stroke field and let affinity recalculate the px/mm to pt Yes that works as does the ?(px)/4.17, that seems strange as 1pt does not equal 4.17px or vice versa. Hope the issue is sorted soon. Ver1 still works correctly after update to 1.10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
