Peachy Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Hello all, I haven't worked with Designer since the 2.0. or 2.0.3 update, so I only noticed this effect (bug?) today. In the panel "Settings", menu "Interface" the option "Specify lines in points" is deactivated. (I think in millimetres and not in pt.) Ergo, the unit of measurement mm also appears in the contour panels as contour thickness. However, the definition of the contour thickness in millimetres cannot be infinitely adjusted in this form compared to before. This is neither possible with the slider (which jumps to a different position after releasing the mouse), nor in direct measurement input in smallest intervals. Different values are displayed each time. Example: I enter 1.5mm but it jumps to 0.53mm - or I enter 2.5mm but the display jumps to 0.88mm. If the check mark is not set for the option "Specify lines in points", the problem does not exist. I can select any desired contour thickness - but in pt - continuously with the slider or by entering smallest intervals. After a lot of trial and error, I noticed that the input in the panel is obviously ALWAYS understood as an entry in pt. I.e. Designer reads the value I enter in pt and then converts it to mm. Is there another default setting to generally set the contour thickness in mm or is this a bug? Just for your information: In the document settings I have also set mm as the document units. It would be great if someone could help me out of this dilemma. Quote
walt.farrell Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 That's a known issue when you have the "Show lines in points" Preference disabled. I think it's scheduled to be fixed in 2.0.4.

Peachy Posted March 11, 2023 Author Posted March 11, 2023 Hi Chris, unfortunately I only saw the message now. Does the problem still exist? Actually, it should have been solved with the update to 2.04. On my system (Win10), the setting can now be changed permanently. Greetings Peachy Quote
