Not intending to find this user here, I swear. I was doing both searches on YT and on the forum itself because I had been playing around with the idea of doing some tutorials myself. I saw that they were listed here in the search results as I had just peeked at their YT. They had actually posted an intro course of sorts, so I thought I would share it. It's pretty decent for new users and is well-paced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyzePU3XlRw

SVG Strokes in MagicaCSG Since Beta 7.2, MagicaCSG can import SVG vector graphics. This means apart from shapes that vector strokes can also be imported. Overlapping, grouped lines create a gap at their intersections. However, this can be easily fixed by performing a Boolean union beforehand. Here a few Examples: The original vector file made in Vectorstyler [image: 1775234326001-svg-vector-file.png] . . Extruded in MagicaCSG [image: 1775234368461-svg-strokes-2.png] . .

@Subpath said in Canva acquired Cavalry: In short, they're moving towards becoming a bigger company and trying to capture the market of newcomers and somewhat experienced users. The fact that they also offer their software for "free" will also make things even more difficult for independent graphics software developers and in this may end in a few big companys. What would be happen with new concepts, alternative innovative ways to develope new graphics software ? Small graphics software developers can still compete with Affinity as long as they create more performant and more feature-rich software. Affinity's performance is very good, but it still doesn't have Illustrator's and VectorStyler's main features yet

The colored one is the result, the below image is the original.

@VectorStyler said in New Forum - Problem to reach the edit Post Button: @Subpath I managed to turn it off try it now. Browser: i use Firefox Button: yes is gone and i can see and use the Edit button now

I should have done this sooner. Upon clean installation of VectorStyler 1.3.006 gradients work fine. Something was not right with my installation, I guess. All is good!

@syllie From your previous posts, I remember that you're interested in pattern making. I do that too, but just for fun and fun of experimenting. Not at a pro level. I'm also familiar with Amaziograph and Paintstorm Pro. I have both on my iPad. . . Another very interesting app, on iPad, for pattern exploration. Photo and Video live recordings is "Nception". Here a Link https://nceptionapp.com/ . . On a PC, I can highly recommend taking a look at "Black Ink" (PC only). Its node-layer concept allows to create very individual symmetries.

Now working as expected. @VectorStyler thank you for fixing this!

@VectorStyler: Yup! Self-group is the solution. Also, I accidentally hit don't save when I was prompted for the file. So I'll rebuild and share this weekend. Sorry.

@monsterfox I agree with this wholeheartedly. We desperately need VectorStyler tutorials on YouTube. This will also help drive new users to this tool.

Thanks VS and Subpath! Great thing the drag and drop inside a draw shape! Nice. Would be nice for bitmaps with transparency to have the option to extract automatically the contour for wrapping purposes.

@VectorStyler Maybe I changed that setting accidentally, I will try to reproduce how I made that. Maybe when setting the new document or pasting the images. I will report later

@marce I will try to improve this

Great work, thanks very much.

@marce Hyphenation appear to be working fine right now! Thanks a lot! [image: 1765395695037-3b39884f-136f-4785-bdcc-a882951d9b98-image.png]

@EricP ... "TiXL seems like an incredible tool.... " Indeed, I will definitely keep an eye on it.
