@nrdesign There is a downloadable pdf version of Vectorstyler located in the "Tutorials " section of the forum. Here is a direct link to the file. I've found it very helpful for looking up tools and explanations. I also uploaded it to Chat GPT and use it inside that AI as a project to get simpler or more extensive answers Feel free to ask any questions you might run into as you use VS and myself and others will be happy to assist as best we can!

@VectorStyler said in Missing Core DTP Layout Markers for "Text > Insert Character" (v1.3.020): I will add these to the features backlog (will need a bit more that just inserting the character). Understood. I see now that my understanding was a bit simple—this request isn't just about inserting a character, but about inputting a trigger to control the layout engine itself. UI-wise, this means it belongs under something like "Text > Layout Control" (which doesn't exist yet) rather than "Text > Insert Character." No wonder it takes a lot of heavy lifting under the hood! Since I couldn’t find them even after a thorough search, I now understand why they weren't implemented even as hidden features. Thank you for adding them to the backlog. Looking forward to it! Best regards,

@VectorStyler Thanks!

@VectorStyler Thank you so much!

@Li-Xiao Great. What I was looking for.

@ZATOPEK Hi in case you dont know there are some tutorials which may be helpful @devil-dinosaur did some Tutorials. https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/1648/isometric-drawing https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/2063/isometric-drawing-tutorial and @pentool did also some https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/3334/axonometric-transform-actions https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/4650/easy-axonometric-piping-tutorial

@macos said in window often shakes: UI English + Font Names Chinese, Do we have this option? No such option

@debraspicher Wow! Thank you for sharing with such depth into your recording setup and process. I have a program called "Screenflow" that I use for recording tutorials and regular screen videos. I had not thought of using OBS as a way to record regular use video to look back on for an issue. Seems like it would be less intrusive as I could set the controls and view screen on a 2nd monitor. I will try it out and get back to you if I have any questions! thanks again

@macos Send me an example file with this issue

@Raaskot These parametric shapes cannot be create with brush outline. You have to select it afterwards. Those settings work for Pen and Pencil only. I will add an option for this.

@macos I opened a bug on this

@Boldline ... I had come across Graphite app a year ago or so and was impressed by some of the ways they were handling vector tools; The focus on non-destructive vector editing as it relates to the unique mind mapping editing map. ... I totally get this. I, too, appreciate apps that take unconventional approaches. Btw. that one of the reason i bought Vectorstyler Even though I don't use Graphite myself, I've still followed its development from time to time. For instance, there's a dedicated thread about it on the Blender forum. I really came to appreciate the possibilities that nodes offer for creating vector graphics—if not sooner, then certainly after I started working with the app NodeBox. Patternodes, for example, also utilizes nodes.

@VectorStyler said in Temporarily disable snapping: @William-Kansepa on Windows should be the Control key, but you must press it after the moving started @VectorStyler Thank you so much! It's working as expected.

@VectorStyler Cool. What I looked for. Thanks

@Raaskot It seems to be a bug. workaround: turn on the "Path" object "Isolated" option in object options

@ZATOPEK That is used for images only. You can use shape Intersection for this

@VectorStyler Thanks! just emailed you the file

@Raaskot Can you send me the workspace and settings files to my email address. Something is different here.

@macos Are you on Windows or Mac? If Windows, he means the scaling options in Settings/System > Display, not inside the application.
