@VectorStyler said in Import svg patterns: The object that was filled with the pattern is large and when expanding creates a lot of small clipping groups. This is slow to render for now. Thanks for checking on this. Yes, the pattern has a lot of objects but it looks like imported patterns are expanded using more nested clipping group layers than patterns created within VS. If the pattern expansion could be improved to remove un-necessary grouping, it could improve performance

@VectorStyler said in Queries Regarding VectorStyler 1.3: This can be done with a number variable for the tilt amount and then controlling the variable using the backdrop intensity as a repeater adjustment I've noticed that shape transform parameters (the ones that appear in Properties panel) don't seem to accept number variables as input. Also, adding a shape effect Transform allows to use number variables as input, but they seem to have no effect. I don't know if this limitation is intended or not but it would be nice to be able to use number parameters on Transform parameters

@William-Kansepa said in Spell Checker: @VectorStyler thank you, the Spell Checker is now working! Question: Is it possible to improve the Spell Checker such that it automatically highlights or underlines and displays the misspelt word in the Error input box? Also to have the most likely suggestion showing at the top in the Suggestions input box? Pressing the "Next" button should highlight the next word and bring it into the error field, also in this case a suggestion (if exists) is shown.

@FanVidder I don't find the basic steps all that complicated. CorelDraw was my main application before VS, i know a few other vector graphic apps too. It took me a while to get used to the new terminology. It might look complicated, and some functions are harder to understand. Just take your time and go step by step. Yes, there aren't many tutorials on YouTube, probably due to the still small user base. I do post tutorials here in the forum from time to time, but I have no interest in dealing with YouTube; it's just too much effort. The best thing to do is search the forum, check out the tutorial section, or simply ask.

@rodbot When selecting a gradient for the stroke in the Gradient panel, you can select the stroke mode in the Stroke field

@monsterfox said in Snapping when dragging multiple nodes: Could the issue of snapping an object to a specific point when dragging be fixed as well? The next build will solve this issue in a bit different way: all dragged points will snap. I will release this first.

@Raaskot I will try to replicate these

@VectorStyler said in Difficulty with selecting Guidelines: @Boldline Send me a file where guidelines are difficult to select. About the Layers panel, guidelines will not be selectable here as they are not objects (these are objects in Illustrator). A guideline can also be selected (turn red) by selecting it in the Guidelines panel. Just emailed you the file. I understand the selection option in the layers panel will not work for the guides, I was suggesting that the same principal feature be added to the gudies panel - where you can select the guide by clicking on a similar circle added to the guides panel. You mentioned here that the user should be able to click on the guide itself in the guide panel and have the corresponding guide be activated on the canvas, but that is not working for me. When I click on the guide in the guide panel, nothing activates.

@Raaskot said in Adding modifiers in attached file have no effect: Masks are not affected. Bug or by design? I tested this, and unfortunately this is by design. The Halftone effect will work on the image part only, not the mask. This case can only be handled with vector halftones

@Raven said in Redrawing part of a path with the pencil tool: I haven't been able to get VS's Liquify tool to act the same. I added the Freeform tool to the 1.4 feature backlog

@Raven Cannot be disabled, I will try to fix this for the next build

@EricP There is an SVG importing bug here, I have to find a solution.

@marce Here goes the shape, the video shows how is different the simplify between inkscape and VS. Inkscape start to delete nodes, making smooth the shape until it become totally lost. VS reduce some nodes, but shape become more kind of square. https://icedrive.net/s/Gv6S2gw45ygCi6Wv6CXvBFShhuVP [image: 1766886332992-test-simplify.svg] 0_1766886340876_Test Simplify.vstyler

@Daniel looks great! Btw. would it be possible to create a thread about this in the tutorial section? That way it would be easier for other users to find.

I'm curious what zoom level that was

@ZATOPEK This seems to be a bug. Aligning the stroke to the center will show the correct stripes. I will try to find a solution for this.

@VectorStyler THANNNNKSSSSSS

@VectorStyler Fixed in recent update

@Li-Xiao said in A question about Repeater Intensity: Will the backdrop slope automatically switch to directions? The backdrop slope is using the background image "gradient" direction, so the answer is yes, but it depends how it is used.

@VectorStyler Splendid, thanks, and even with short key ctrl-shift-K [image: 1766049131420-5b59ae23-4e0b-4ab4-b12c-bb9e2bcfea73-image-resized.png] [image: 1766049395460-4899591d-cb17-4d05-8184-3f8c8640f0d5-image.png]
