Gemini80 Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 Hi all! I'm a bit confused as to why I am seeing a faint white line in the black curve? This line also exports so it seems to really be there yet there is a solid black circle underneath as the base and then a black stroke line on top. The stroke line is 100% black - yet there is a faint white line. Can anyone advise me on what to do? Many Thanks!! Quote
GarryP Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 There could be a number of reasons but we can only guess at the specifics in this case until we have more information. Would you be able to show us more of the design so we can get an idea of how it has been constructed? A full-screen screenshot where we can see the right-hand black-filled layer selected in the Layers Panel might help. If you can share the AFDESIGN document – maybe a copy with just those black-filled layers – we should be able to help more quickly. Gemini80 1 Quote
Staff MEB Posted January 23, 2024 Staff Posted January 23, 2024 Hi @Gemini80, From your screenshot seems there are two black objects overlapping a green one. The faint line you are referring to (which is green, not white) is caused by the antialiasing of the two black objects (where they met) against the background green object. Teorically if you boolean Add the two (assuming) top black objects so they become one over the green object that line will disappear however depending on the design/how objects may need to be stacked this option may not be possible. We should be able to help you better if you share the document as GarryP already mentioned above. The only case where two objects touching side by side have no antialiasing "gap (the faint line)" is when they are both pixel aligned vertically and/or horizontally.

Gemini80 Posted January 23, 2024 Author Posted January 23, 2024 Thanks so much for both of your replies - I just made a screen recording and attached it here - I hope this helps find a solution! Screen Recording 2024-01-23 at 18.52.38.mov Quote
NotMyFault Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 There was a performance option in V1 called „precise clipping“, off by default. Can’t find this in the help for V2. Set it to on if you find it.

Can’t find this in the help for V2. Set it to on if you find it. For me on my Mac it is in Preferences > Performance, just like in V1. It is easily found by pasting "precise clipping" into the search field in Preferences (which may be named "Settings" in other versions).

Gemini80 Posted January 24, 2024 Author Posted January 24, 2024 Thanks for your tip - it does reduce the visibility of the line by 50 - 60% but it is still slightly visible...which is just kinda baffling. Quote
