Romy666 Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Hi there, I‘m trying to use the contour tool to create an Offset around a Circle. But the contour isn‘t round, there are lots of corners. Can you tell me, what‘s going wrong? Thanks for your reply! Quote
NotMyFault Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Can confirm. once the contour radius is >100% of ellipse radius, the nodes getting into hard node mode. Better visible if the circle has a stroke applied and no fill.

Romy666 Posted January 5 Author Posted January 5 That‘s a problem for me. I often need to make an offset around a curve. But every time it creates lots of nodes and they are getting hard. What can I do to fix this? Quote

Affinity does not provide timelines for bugfixes. So try to find workarounds or ultimately use a different app if this is critical for your workflow. in case of a circle you can compensate by using a doughnut or multiple circles or various diameter, or large strokes and expand stroke.

Dazmondo77 Posted January 8 Posted January 8 This contour bug and the similar expand stroke bug needs to be a priority fix - my workaround is to copy paste into Affinity 1 or Vectorstyler just to get acceptable results Boldlinedesign 1 Quote Mac Pro Cheese-grater (Early 2009) 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon 48 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC Ram, Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5, Ugee 19" Graphics Tablet Monitor Triple boot via OCLP 2.2.0 - Mac OS Monterey 12.7.6, Sonoma 14.7.3 and Mojave 10.14.6 Affinity Publisher, Designer and Photo 1.10.5 - 2.5.7 Betas 2.6.0(3125) www.bingercreative.co.uk
