Andreas S Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I created a stroke and tried to "Expand Contour". What happened is this: The beginning of the stroke gets distorted. When switching to the Node Tool, It looks like the handles of the created nodes are not positioned correct. Any idea, what is wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas S Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 Hi Callum, thanks for looking into this. I've simplified the file and removed the other artboards, so you'll get now 1 page with two similar strokes. The top one produces the result from my first posting, the other one produces another strange result when applying "Expand contour" (Looks like some Control Handles of the knots get "out of control").

It is my old nemesis "coincident nodes". Try breaking it and rejoining the two curves. You have some weird angle/twist on the end of the large curve so change that to a Sharp node before joining.
