_jcc_ Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Expand stroke with arrow results in unexpected gap between stroke and arrow tip (in version V2.0.3)? See images below: normal rendering, outline and stroke properties. Or is it because I have a setting that affects the expansion?... I tried this in the V1 - no gaps - works as expected. Normal rendering: same, but expanded version selected, to see the points: Outline (to show the structure of the shapes): Stroke properties: Edited January 15, 2023 by _jcc_ typo, image size, version number Quote

loukash Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 A workaround for the time being would be: delete the three (or two, depending on Cap mode) nodes to remove the hole inside the triangle Geometry > Add, to merge everything into a single closed curve Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2
Paul Mudditt Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 Did you try converting to curves first before expand stroke?

It's not about the Arrow shape, it's about the stroke Start/End attributes. The bug here in v2 is that Expand Stroke is actually performing a destructive Xor boolean operation. Which it shouldn't. I vaguely remember seeing it reported before, or something similar.

Dan C Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Hi @_jcc_, Welcome to the Affinity Forums Thanks for your report - I can confirm I've been able to replicate this issue here and I'm getting it logged with our devs now. I hope this helps! Quote
Old Bruce Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 In the meantime in Version 2 there is a Toolbar item you can use, I don't think it is part of the Default set so you'll need to add the Geometry group.
