@VectorStyler said in How to Edit Text Background?: @b77 @gotanidea The modal character options editor has a bug when working with background / underline and other decorators. Some drop downs don't open. The fix for these will be in the next build. Good to know that. Thanks again

@Igull

@Harry Can be replicated.

@VectorStyler Thanks for getting on it. Looking forward to the next build!

@VectorStyler Thanks for confirming there's a bug. Another issue that might be related is that the "Close Shapes" value in the "Shape Paint Options" dialog does not persist. It gets reset back to the same very small value whenever the dialog is closed and re-opened. @b77 That's a slick workaround you came up with!

@postdes 'Ignore White' is the correct setting for this, not 'Extract Alpha'. My apologies.

Ahh! That's what I was looking for! I think I was thrown by the term "grid" since I usually think of the grid as a separate design guide element than the background. Thanks!

@Igull

@VectorStyler Thanks for this comprehensive answer! Still a long way ahead, but when I master references I feel like i could be great shortcut.

@Boldline You didn't by any chance click the 'Favorite Font' entry in the Character panel's menu? That is a checkmark, and if you click it, the font is deleted from the Favorites list.

@Harry Looks like the width profile goes through too much simplification in VS, for long paths. I will improve this.

@VectorStyler said in Blends are not automatically transferred to cloned curves: @Subpath Just duplicating, or cloning the two ends will not carry the blend over. This is by design. that it does not work with duplicates is clear to me if I manually blend the cloned curves it works as desired but that the blending is not automatically is transferred to the cloned curves, if i blend the two orinal curves had me just wondered.

I got this, by grouping the finished blend which made it easier to rotate (from the center I think vs from an edge). Quite a bit of tinkering. Not a bad result. Thanks for the help. 0_1670487017668_Abstract_Knot_Illus_Vctr_FINAL.vstyler

@encart I added this to the backlog, will do flipping only if both directions are flipped. @Boldline No option for this.

@VectorStyler said in Trim and Join and .... Extend (once again): @Harry Should it work for lines only, or for curves also? It would really need to work for curves too - that'll make it easier for you Neil

@Boldline Got it!

@Clausj Also interesting to open and to look at is the "Shape" Panel With it you can edit different parameters of the different Shapes that VS offers Menu > Panel > Shape

@Harry Just select a color in the Color panel or Palette panel. Make sure that no gradient color knob is selected in the gradient panel.

@b77 indeed, thats fast I did not know that either So, good to know

@Pat said in How to apply effects to other objects?: I think there is still enough space to get sharp pointed edges but no way by modulating the miter limit... another way ? The blunt corners are caused by open paths. At the highlighted locations, the nodes overlap, but the paths are actually open. Use the Node tool and the command in the context panel to connect the nodes.
