hannah Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Dear Affinity-Community, hopefully one of you knows something : My client needs a file (pdf) that requires some lines (strokes) to be RGB-red and have a width of exactly 0.001pt. This hairlines will later define the cutting lines for caoutchouc, so I guess some kind of laser cutting. When i set the stroke width to 0.001point it jumps to zero!?! What do I do? Any work-arounds or solutions? Thank you so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rostron Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 In this case, What You See is not What You get! The value entered is remembered, but the value you see depends on the Display Property for entered widths. Go to Edit > Properties and you should find the facility to display widths with different numbers of decimal places. I am not at my desktop PC at present so I cannot be too precise.

colmMcG Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Hi Via the above solution provided by hannah I slowly figured out that the box for one pixel could be directly edited to save 0.001 pt This is something that i need so as to use Afinity Designer with our laser cutter, the connection is fine and I can engrave with weights of 0.01 or above but setting the weight of the stroke to 0.001, this edit does not remain on display once the mouse moves away, only the first 0 shows. Going to be a mistake by my work place if Affinity designer can not be used as a ector drawing package with our laser cutter, hope it not true thanks Colm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
