Davesink Posted June 27 Posted June 27 This problem is making me pull my hair out. I did a series of simple line illustrations in Affinity Designer 2 on the iPad and every time I export to a vector format (EPS, SVG, or PDF), I run into the same unwanted variable line thickness. I just want a basic uniform width, and it looks fine in Designer, but creates a variable thickness or weird black filled in parts when exported (See red circled areas). It must be a simple fix, but I’ve spent literally hours trying to figure it out. Even when I recreate the objects, the problem reoccurs. Thanks for any and all help! Quote
NotMyFault Posted June 27 Posted June 27 The shape uses a vector brush, or has a pressure profile assigned. inspect the curve and all stroke settings. https://affinity.help/designer2ipad/en-US.lproj/pages/Panels/strokePanel.html and check the exported file, maybe the strokes got expanded. Unfortunately there are multiple unfixed bugs related to the functionality. Can you upload the file? which tool did you use to create the curves?

Davesink Posted June 27 Author Posted June 27 Thank you for your quick response, NotMyFault. Here is the .afd file and a screenshot of the stroke panel. I simply used the pen tool to create the objects. It looks like Designer is reading the stokes as a variable width brush, even though it looks like a basic brush onscreen and only appears as variable width upon export. I'm sure I'm missing something, but can't seem to figure it out. Thanks again! Taylor03_test01.afdesign Quote
NotMyFault Posted June 27 Posted June 27 The defective curves have a stroke with a pressure profile of 3 nodes. Once I reset this pressure profile, the export is correct. Use this as workaround. I use Publisher on iPad, the same function is available on Designer on Desktop. The issue is clearly a bug in Designer and not your fault. As there are many bugs already logged by Serif covering this symptoms I don’t think your case needs to be raised as new bug.

Davesink Posted June 28 Author Posted June 28 Wow, thanks so much. That’s very helpful! Hopefully it will be addressed in the next release. Quote
Staff stokerg Posted June 30 Staff Posted June 30 Hi @Davesink, I've logged this separately with the Developers, altho as @NotMyFaultthis is likely covered under one of the other reports we have but i'd rather be sure and make sure this isn't missed. This thread will get a reply from the Affinity Info Bot when this has been resolved. NotMyFault 1 Quote
