Sir Doyle Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Hi all is there anyway to subtract from the edge of stroke. I know about "align stroke to inside but this will keep the same location of the edge. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted June 2, 2016 Staff Share Posted June 2, 2016 You could use Layer > Expand Stroke to separate the Stroke to a curve object from that you can then use Subtract. When you expand the stroke you will get that whole in the middle so you may want to delete the nodes inside the curve that form the hole.

PixelPest Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 If you don´t mind to use "Align Stroke to Inside" it should work as expected: Cheers P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Thanks ... this works perfectly ;) If you don´t mind to use "Align Stroke to Inside" it should work as expected: AlignStroke2Inside.png Cheers P.

PixelPest Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 The right example is working for me as I showed in my previously reply. Cheers P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyJack Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Thanks, but this does not work as expected Well, If you're going to align stroke to the inside, I think it would be wise to halve the stroke width, no? ;) Edit: fwiw, you could also try this: copy the circle, give it no stroke and use it as a clip mask. Or.... Place the stroked item in the child position of the non stroked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelPest Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Well, If you're going to align stroke to the inside, I think it would be wise to halve the stroke width, no? ;) No - not in my opinion because for instance the size is correct if you have the cut outside and not centered. But everyone has its own workflow. :D Cheers P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyJack Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I was referring to the OP's desired result :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
