[AD 2.0.4] &[AD 2.1.0.1732] Object Lag in the Layer Stack

[StuartRc]

Hi

While working on some more planets [AD 2.0.4] I wanted to make use of the vector mesh warp to fold shapes around a circle | Sphere. So I created some simple rectangles and used the original planet shape as reference. However when I tried to drag the rectangles around I was getting lots of delay in the fill trying the catch up with the containing shape. (A very old bug I believe!)

I needed the planets to be completely vector (Scaling and re-colour). Used Stroke Pressure to mimic a variable scalable stroke (So no need for raster edge!)

I have been having issues with this particular file over last week. Initially I thought it was corrupt but having loaded into latest beta [AD 2.1.0.1732] and a bit more testing. It appears that the lagging of the overlaying rectangles is related to the objects beneath in the layer stack... I made a little video!

Attempted to simplify the content of object beneath; Hide object ; draw rectangles in free space: all have some effect!

any Ideas!...I can easily work around problem but it is a bit strange!

Hi @StuartRc,

Thanks for your report!

This certainly seems to be a rendering issue based on the layers beneath - so I'd like to request a copy of your .afdesign file so I can investigate further.

Can you please attach a copy of this file here, alongside a screenshot of your Edit > Preferences > Performance settings?

Many thanks in advance

Hi @Dan C
no Problem!
A bit strange this one.. but Still!😀 Tested in Live and latest Beta (present in both versions)
I have attached 2 files in the .zip
Unfortunately I have been working on the file this morning and made some changes to get around the issue.

Planet Conversion 07 02 Test.afdesign
Is the modified version (I edited the object beneath so I could work on it!) All the elements from the video are still present
Removed some elements in the planet stack and removed stroke settings (Pressure)

Planet Conversion 07 Test File.afdesign
Older file with issue still present (Just drag the orange bars)

Object lag.zip

Many thanks for providing that for me!

I can confirm that I've been able to replicate this here and it appears as though the rendering issue is worse the further you zoom into this document, over the nested curve with pressure applied.

I've logged this with our development team for further investigation - I hope this helps

[StuartRc]

Sure. Thanks for looking into it...might help fix a few lag reported issues
