  I am yet a bit unshure if this is really a bug, so i post that Video here. Forgot to mention in my previous Post here that in this case I did the stroke scaling via the menu in the Appearance Panel If I do the stroke scaling this way then it works only with "Scale Image Filters" set Here the video

  @VectorStyler thanks - I will try it out, now that I'm aware of what it does

  would also plead for a way where this option can be switched on and off in a quickly accessible way e.g. Brush panel or something similar

  @mainstreet1612 Can also recommend to download the PDF manual that @freggern has kindly created. (it is easier to search in it) Here the link: VS PDF-Manual

  @encart said in I do not see any difference between the marked objects , and the others that are placed in this zone: @VectorStyler https://recordit.co/MAJdm3N6cp Selection appear only when I zoom out. There could be a problem here, I added this to the backlog.

  Collision Snapping with space

  @b77 I use it to ensure the minimum separation distance between objects that are being cut on the laser (so that the beam doesn't interfere with local objects). Now that I understand both collision methods, I can use both methods to do this. Depending on materials, I can use collision rotate freely (say a laminate material without any grain - acrylic maybe - where it doesn't matter the rotation of the object) in others that require the grain to be in the direction of the object for strength (wood for instance), then simple collision is ideal. Being able to ensure that the objects cannot break through the boundary would be very useful as you wouldn't have to re-correct the positions. It is also superb for manually nesting parts on a sheet as the collider tool rotates parts neatly (paralleled) into place. You can pay huge sums of $$$ for automatic fast nesting software - doing it mandraulically is generally fine for me BTW, that would also apply to the inside snap where that would be the boundary of the sheet material - ensuring that the parts can't breach the edge of the material itself.

  @VectorStyler said in PDF editor alternatives to Adobe Acrobat - something that could be added to VS at some point?: So a PDF editor would always be preferable as a separate application. Thanks for the explanation - I am testing out some different ones now.

  @Boldline Well, I have already assumed that the storage space might be a problem. Apart from the imagehosters, Recordit could also be used for this maybe unusual, but possible.

  @VectorStyler Thanks! I just tried that and it's exactly what I was looking for. There are some times I need to grid to stay exact in relation to the artboard - this answers that.

  @Boldline said in Is there an option to limit either the width and/or length of the shape tool?: If it's not already in there, what about an option to set an angle and everything made is set to that angle? This one actually can be done by rotating the view. The rectangle (or oval) drawn will use the view angle.

  @Boldline This looks like a bug in the undo/redo part. One workaround could be to just purge all history.

  @b77 said in Can live text on a curved path be skewed?: @VectorStyler The font itself is skewed (it imitates handwriting). Boldline wants to straighten it up a bit after placing it on the path. Yes this is what I was intending to communicate Can there be a way to slant/skew live text on a circular path. @VectorStyler you mentioned "When using text on path, the transformations of the text object are ignored." - and that is also the case not only with the circular path but a straight or open-ended path. Is this something worth extending some transformations to? EDIT - just tried the horizontal skew option in the Character panel- that should work fine - thanks!

  @Boldline said in Is there an easier way to get the angle option to appear on the guideline?: @VectorStyler I zoomed in further on a new project and i was able to grab the angle better this time Zooming in should not be necessary for rotating the guideline. If this occurs again, send me a file with an example.
