Boolean Subtract not working

Recommended Posts

I was trying to subtract two shapes from another and it gives an unexpected behaviour.
Even if I this was a user error (which I don't think it is) this result does not match the expectation.
So I'd consider this either a bug in code or in UX.

This is with latest version from the MAS on 10.14.6

Indeed it is a single stroked line and expanding the stroke works. But AD should either

a) convert it to a suitable curve by implicitly expanding the stroke (maybe even with a warning)
b) not let me do it

Like it is right now it's a very bad UX.
(I am also not quite sure why expanding the stroke creates an additional empty layer)

Thanks for the quick reply.

c) Inform (and educate) the user what is preventing the feature from working. Even a hint is better than no feedback.
