Mr. Doodlezz Posted April 15, 2024 Posted April 15, 2024 Hey everyone, I've run into an issue in Affinity Designer when using the Contour Tool with compound objects. What I would expect: When I select individual elements within a compound object, the bounding boxes fit snugly around each element – just as they do with shapes that aren't using the Contour Tool. What actually happens: All good when selecting elements one by one. But when I select the whole compound object, the bounding box is unexpectedly large, even though I reduced the shapes size inside with the Contour Tool. It doesn’t match the actual size of the object, making it really tough to position things accurately. I attached a sample file. I know I could »bake the appearance« to fix it, which makes the size permanent, but I want to keep the design flexible (need to create a graphic with different sized window frames). So, that’s not the solution for me. Has anyone else dealt with this? Greetings Dennis Contour_Tool_Compound_Object_Bounding_Box.afdesign Quote
