Geometry actions broken in 1.7.1

[ChristopherTD]

I posted a separate thread about issues with a drawing that disappeared when I performed ExpandStrokes/Add/Divide. I tried a completely new drawing and when I try the same sequence, the Geometry Add action enters an infinite loop and never completes.

I tried on the Mac and the same thing happened as well.

Has something changed in this area recently? It’s kind of unworkable now...

Hi @ChristopherTD,

Sorry for the delayed reply.

What objects do you add? Can you attach a screen recording?

Thanks,

Gabe.

Hi. I’m not sure what to add beyond the attached design. Basically I draw a lot of curves with the vector pen, then try to use the Expand Strokes, Geometry Add, and Geometry Divide actions to make solid regions. This is a pattern I used many times before.

Instead of performing all those Geometry operations, you can simply choose the Node Tool, ‘Join Curves’ and then ‘Close Curve’ to yield a single fillable shape.
