Ted H Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Running AD Beta v2.2.0 (1903) on a M1 Mac Mini under Ventura 13.4 I was trying to use the Style Picker Tool to copy the stroke attributes from one object and apply them to another object, and it didn't seem to be working at all. Upon looking closer at the Appearance panel, I noticed some inconsistency. In the little summary area on the Appearance panel, it says the stroke of my object is 0.1 points, but if I expand the stroke information to show more detail (by clicking on the underlined stroke weight), the stroke weight is listed as 0.5 points (which is the correct weight.) Clicking the Stroke tab shows the correct weight of 0.5 as well. Interestingly, if I change the stroke weight (either by typing in a new value or hovering over the number and rolling my scroll wheel), both the number in the box and the summary area of the Appearance panel change, but they still show different numbers. (For instance, if I make the width 6 points, the summary area says it is 1.4 points.) This is happening on an object that I have imported from an AI file, and then modified in AD (by adjusting some points and using the Subtract geometry action to cut out a notch in the object.) I tried copying and pasting this object into a new document, and I get the same behaviour with the Appearance preview of the stroke weight and the detail view of the stroke weight showing different values. Shapes created natively inside AD seem to be working just fine. I've attached screencaps of the whole screen and an isolated cap of the Appearance panel.

lepr Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Welcome to the Affinity forums, Ted. That stroke width discrepancy (a bug, in my opinion) has existed since the Appearance panel was introduced back in 1.x. Objects are non-destructively scaled in Affinity (and other apps), and when a stroke has 'Scale with object' enabled, the value in a line of the Appearance panel is the stroke width of the unscaled object, whereas the value elsewhere is the stroke width of the object at its current scale. If you didn't actually scale the imported object, it will have come into Affinity with scaling specified in its transformation matrix.
