AdrianKLægreid Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hi!! I saw another post that was asking about the alignment of strokes. Is there a way to have more control over the stroke allignement?? And: What is miter? I have tested a little but doesn't really understand what it does! Thank you!!

Staff MattP Posted February 4, 2015 Staff Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hi Adrian, At present we only have 3 modes: inside, outside and centre aligned. In the future we may allow arbitrary offsets anywhere between these, but they are far less frequently required. Miter limit... Well, imagine your curve has a sharp corner. When you put a stroke on that, the stroke has to do something when it goes around the corner - it will either add a round join, a bevel join or a miter join. In the case of the miter join, it tries to add a sharp point as long as the line would have projected no more than N times the line weight, where N is the 'miter limit'. If the miter limit was exceeded, your corner would be replaced with a bevel so that things don't get too pointy. Try it out by making a many-pointed star shape, adding a fat line with miter join type and then just adjust the miter limit between 1 and 10 to see the differences. Thanks, Matt AdrianKLægreid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Komatös Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Hi @Ines2 Can you make a screenshoot from the snapping tool settings, please? Or do you looking for the aligment tool?
