fitzj Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Why is stroke creating a round curve as I expand out the stroke? The more I move the stroke to the right the rounder the curve. Edited July 5, 2019 by fitzj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdenby Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Note the join options. If you want a sharp corner, change to mitre join, and adjust the miter limit as needed.

fitzj Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 I did a six-pointed star and then did a duplicate. I used the Pen tool to draw a line as outlined in red which I want to do to create the rest of the hexagon but as you can see it does not merge very well with the existing lines. Is there an easy solution to get these two line showing no joint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Instead of duplicating and rotating lines, you can duplicate the entire shape and use clipping to keep some parts visible while hiding the rest, as discussed here: The linked thread is for the iPad version, so although the principle is the same for the desktop version the Layers panel works slightly differently.

For the clipping method, you can Boolean add the ‘clipview’ objects to reduce the number of clipping steps.

PixelPest Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I don´t disagree - but it´s literally just 2 shapes. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
