matur61 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 HI, I have a small problem. I applied a brush , the dotted one in the middle circle of the image attached. I made a copy (cmd + j) and then multiplied by 0.5 to obtain the inner circle and again (cmd + j) by 1.5 for outer circle. I'd like to know how to avoid to have the dots distorted. This happens both with intensity and image brushes. I need to make a lot of concentric lines full of dots that's why I'm looking for a solution. I'm a newbie and maybe the solution is simple in any case thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelPest Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Not sure which app you´re talking about. This usually seems to happen when you duplicate&scale a path applied a textured brush. If you draw a circle (in AD for example) and apply the brush later the image will not be distorted: I´m not sure you need a brush instead of a dotted line where you have more control over spacing etc. : Cheers gdenby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matur61 Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 first of all thanks for replying. The application is Affinity Designer you're right. The problem happens when I have a lot of concentric lines (I used a circle but could be any concentric line) and in that case I must replicate&scale, otherwise I guess I have to draw each one by one. Maybe the drawing in the image was not so clear to represent the problem. What I'm looking for is a way to replicate&scale, without the problem of the symbol (the dot in this case) modified in proportion. Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you might want to try out the new Point Transform Tool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matur61 Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 Hi, I tried to apply the point transform tool to my brush but I didn't manage (please see image). For sure there is something basic that I'm doing wrong. Maybe the brush settings or a symbol setting. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelPest Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Not sure how you add "Symbol" in your workflow. My brush is a simple circle inside a transparent square set to repeat - nothing more or less. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
