Bob Savage Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 Hello - I'm taking a logo from Designer and copying it into Publisher, but the line weights don't appear to be displaying correct. The look right in the stroke setting when comparing but they look fatter in Publisher. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thank you... Designer: Publisher: Quote

Need to get back in the shop to check but the Publisher file was imported from a tent maker (think it was an AI). thanks a bunch… hopefully it’s that and is easy to change. walt.farrell 1 Quote

Old Bruce Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 To my eye the two screenshots are different sizes. Are the strokes set to scaled as the overall item is scaled?

This is a classic issue in Affinity. I hope it helps. That did it... I just pasted it again, selected the scale option before resizing and all is well. THANK YOU Red and Bruce! Quote

Also note the influence of the "Scale with object" option for strokes. This setting on/off causes different results for objects copied to documents with different DPI.
