MichaelS Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hi, I'm evaluating the beta. I think I found an instance where the subtract does not give the expected result (see attached). I created some shapes and combined them together into a compound (to provide a single base shape). I overlaid a square and did the subtract function after selecting the shapes, but in most cases, I saw some ugly artefacts around the top corners of the post-subtracted image (see attached). I also attach a sample project.Thanks. test.afdesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelS Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Just a friendly reminder, this bug still persists with the latest beta (1.1.2.23003). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted February 24, 2015 Staff Share Posted February 24, 2015 Hi Michael, I've not looked into this yet, sorry. I'm just trying to get the Corner Tool working properly at the moment, then I'll move on to this and other things :) Sorry in the meantime, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MattP Posted March 4, 2015 Staff Share Posted March 4, 2015 One thing I noticed that's very interesting is that when I export this as an svg and then open it and attempt to do the same operation - all cases succeed with the correct result! :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelS Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hmm. Thanks for your effort. I wonder if some kind of fix was performed since reporting? It seems like you've 'flushed out' the issue by re-importing, making me wonder if I recreated these objects from scratch in the current beta, then perhaps the problem has gone away (particularly if a fix was applied)? As soon as possible, I'll try to make some other shapes in a new doc with this beta to see if I can reproduce this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted March 4, 2015 Staff Share Posted March 4, 2015 I think it might be something strange relating to the compound objects that were in the original document and perhaps something to do with them being transformed around a bit? These are my best guesses so far... I'm sure there are still some other issues with the boolean operations and I do intend to look at them properly after the Mac App Store version is updated. There will not be such a long gap before the Mac App Store version is updated in future, so fixing them after this update does not imply that they will only be available in beta for many months after - instead, we should be able to update it to match the beta every 6 weeks or so?

MichaelS Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hi Matt I did a quick test in the RC, recreating a similar base shape & tried subtracting with a new rect shape, and it seems to be good. I also copied the base shape from an earlier file & tried a similar test, and all seems good. So hopefully all is ok now. Thanks alot for getting back to me on this issue.

Dale Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 @Vonster on Twitter reported something similar recently using Divide. You're likely up to speed already Matt but if you want to see his video I'll send you a mail.
