You cannot tout UI software which fails in a primary requirement for UI design. The auto-response from moderators is very disheartening. Absolutely. The marketing is very misleading, that's my biggest issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evanre Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 It's been almost half a year passed since last comment and still no results. Just purchased AD few days ago and on v1.6.1 I've faced with same issue. I'm shocked with such irresponsibility. I'm going to ask a money back because for me it's not a vector editor without such working feature as expand stroke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardomestre Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Hi! What's the current status? As an icon designer myself, this is the kind of bug that unfortunately keeps me going back to Adobe Illustrator.Please give us any update on this. Thanks.

Evanre Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 This a piece of crap. iTunes support rejected me in refund request. They told me that I need to ask for a help on this forum. But they don't know you guys just don't f**n care. I've wasted 50 bucks on this and I really regret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Serif did not tell us the current status after those patiently endured years, drop them an email at affinity@serif.com and/or report the bug again or again. Or email AffinityReturns@serif.com within 14 days of purchase. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelhdz12 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 2019... the issue persists. It's sad. I'm considering other alternatives seriously. I'm not gonna spend another $50 on a software update 2.xx with slow bugs fixing phases. There was an issue with the Transparency Tools that crashed the program. I had to spend days, weeks, months until many versions later, it was "fixed". Now I found this huge bug. Had to create a duplicate of my object, then resize it to cover the stroke, then remove the stroke, then use the Subtract Pathfinder. Just to simulate a stroke that is not a stroke, but a curves that can be added with other curves with the Add Pathfinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcsherry Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I've had the same problem on several projects and it can be frustrating. The 'increasing the size' remedy doesn't seem to work for me. However, I'll tell you what I did as a workaround. First you will need a piece of vectorizing software (I use Image Vectorizer' on my Mac. It's the simplest and best I've tried so far and it's not costly.) I isolate the bits that need to be expanded and copy and paste into a new doc which I then I export as a jpg and vectorize the file. Then bring it back in to the project doc. Not exactly, 'Hey Presto!" but it worked for me. It'll be great when this gets sorted. Quote Using: Mac OSX Monterey on a Mac Mini (late 2014). Wacom Bamboo. Mouse. Pencils. Pens. Other stuff...

kevinmcsherry Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Indeed you're right. I was thinking of an online vectorizer. I'm happy enough with my clunky process -it's reasonably straightforward. Quote Using: Mac OSX Monterey on a Mac Mini (late 2014). Wacom Bamboo. Mouse. Pencils. Pens. Other stuff...

kaiwienen Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 if i build a icon set. I can't work with AD because of this problem. We are now at 1.7 and there is no improvements. Put this problem on top of our list and fix this, please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raglet Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I don't think this will ever get fixed. I think it was reported over 2 years ago and has literally been ignored completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 13, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hi raglet, This hasn't been ignored. The dev team is well aware of this issue however they have been extremely busy with all changes required to ensure compatibility with the upcoming Affinity Publisher and with the Publisher's development itself. As soon as Publisher is released, eventual/initial issues resolved and the app stabilised we should get back to our usual pace and focus on fixing bugs like these which are not easy and require some effort and time to get right. Please bear with us. Friksel, kevinmcsherry and Bri-Toon 2 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adisee Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Hello I have the same problem since I update the Affinity. As you can see I made the same operation and only mirroring the same perfect circle and ellipse. I tried it with converting to curve, and with out, same problem. It is a big issue.

How can a vector tool have its main vector function broken for so much time and yet still be kept under low priority? Edit: wanted to make it clear, my current frustration is directed at whoever is managing the priority list, not you, a forum moderator, Meb.
