Feature request - More accurate stroke width


Recommended Posts

  • Staff

It's only a display thing, the stroke width will be whatever you chose, but display according to the preference setting

You're saying that if I put in a stroke width of 1.1pt it rounds it to 1 but it is actually 1.1pt??
Hope not(can of worms etc.)

You get to control the precision of the display, along with the precision of the data you enter :)

It works in Publisher the same way as the other Affinity applications. Just set the decimal places as you would like to see them:

Now I give you this file,how would you know it is 1.13pt  and not 1.1 if your settings are 1 decimal and mine 3

That's a good question, haakoo.

I generally run the other 2 applications with pixel decimals set to 3, or sometimes more :)

I wonder if Serif could implement some kind of rounding flag for dimensions when displayed, to warn of precision that was lost in the display.
