Markio Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 When I create a dashed curve and increase the line width, the dashes start increasing too. If this is the intended behaviour, is there a way to turn it off? I would like to have control over the dash length apart from the width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ingram Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Hi Markio, you can change the dash pattern using the "Dash:" boxes in the bottom of the Stroke panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oval Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Markio, you can start a feature request for that. Hopefully “Replicate/Blend” will be a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markio Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Hi Markio, you can change the dash pattern using the "Dash:" boxes in the bottom of the Stroke panel. Ofcourse, I know that. But when I set the dash to 7 pt and the gap to 5 pt, I expect these settings to remain that way, independent from the line width. (the Illustrator, CorelDraw etc way) Too me this is a bug, I would expect the dash-scaling when ticking scale with object in the stroke panel. But as the screenshot shows this setting is unchecked.

It is not a bug. Just read the Affinity Help. You cannot set a unit here because those values are relative values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markio Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Relative to line widht I see now, all right AD is not for me then, too many things I need that have no workarounds. Maybe in a couple of years then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ingram Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Hi Markio, if you tick "Scale with object" then the dash pattern will scale with the object. This seems to work fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markio Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Nevermind, I have already deïnstalled it. Relating the dashes and gaps to the line width works counterintuitive to me. I use Vectordrawing for more technical illustrations (architecture), so I need precise control over the strokes, and I truly need closed corners when using dashes, described in this request. I need some sort of livepaint tool. None of these things are on the roadmap, so it's a no-go for me. (arrowstyles are being worked on) On both my machines I still get the issue described in this topic, you can't imagine how annoying this issue is. So I will give AD a try in the future when AD is more mature, but it became clear that I'm not the target group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
