@Devil-Dinosaur said in Clipping method: I guess it would be smoother if the position of the group was "above the fill" by default. Will be in the next build. This a bug

@gentlecl I think @vectoradmin explained what is going on 3 posts up: https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/1903/convert-object-shape-to-curve-shape/10 It's not a bug, but it exposes the "Bending" Shape Effect when pressed once. Click on the "Fx" icon to bring up the Shape Effect options window. [image: 1650154868549-bending-shape-effect-after-expand-stroke.png] Press "Expand Stroke" again and it converts the bend effect to curves.

@Boldline said in Is there a better way to create an editable raylight?: @vectoradmin would it make sense for choosing "clone" from the options inside the rotate panel, for that to suffice in having all duplicates mimic the first shape? I added this to the backlog. Currently clones do not inherit the rotation pivot, I will try to fix that.

@gentlecl See my reply here: https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/1903/convert-object-shape-to-curve-shape

@vectoradmin I already had that setting unchecked. I tried enabling it and using the shared tools (that part works correctly) but then tried unchecking it again and altered the commonly shared settings and switched between tools such as the brush, path brush and eraser for example, and the edits (turned on lasso stabilize and altered the extent)I made at that point to one still applied to all others when they should have been autonomous at that point. Are you able to test this and see if it's just me? I can see the value in having them all synch up, but more often I need them to perform differently and I'd prefer to be able to set them up uniquely and have them retain my overall individual settings [image: 1650046635566-64e45811-5051-403e-a9d0-22bae0af3988-bld-2022-04-15-at-14.15.39-resized.png]

@vectoradmin Does not work. Windows does not allow me install an older version over a newer version. I have to uninstall the newer version first.

@Boldline Yes, when that button is clicked, it will list symbols that can be added to the repeated set of objects. The easiest way to have symbols in a document is to set names to objects and set the "Symbol" role (Role button in Object Options).

@vectoradmin - love it! thank you for adding that in there [image: 1649973508195-706b1b4f-2333-4b95-83ff-33ab86965dcf-bld-2022-04-14-at-17.50.39.png]

@vectoradmin, try it with the latest build 1.1.030 is solved and works now

@vectoradmin this is also the case with clipped vector shapes Btw. if you would you could move this thread too the "Question and Support" Section. Because it seems partly solved

Unfortunalty only for Windows Can recommend "ScreenToGif" Utility for converting single frames into a Gif-Animation. Also very useful for Screen recording. Video ScreentoGif

@PatrickM The Styles menu -> Preset Manager should be able to manage / edit most presets. If something is missing (artboard size does), then if it is a simple thing then maybe just overwrite with the same name. For more complex options, presets should be editable.

Edit , I was wrong There is way to make a curved line after a straight segment . Click and drag on the last point ( of the straight line ) to pull out the bezier handle . I still think it's one step to many , but glad I got it sorted

@vectoradmin said in Some questions and thoughts about vectorstyler: @gentlecl The reported Pen tool issues will be fixed in the next build (the fix is already done). About the aliased lines: can you send a screenshot with examples/ The View -> Subpixel menu contains some options regarding anti-aliasing. Made in inkscape , imported in vectorstyler (svg file ) . It mostly occurs when zooming in-out [image: 1649509717282-1-resized.jpg]

@gentlecl Enable in Preferences -> Changing Options -> Show Segment in Pen Tool (searching for "Show Segment in Pen Tool" in the bottom-left search box should highlight the option).

This issue could occur due to some temporary issues with the verification services. After you click on the option to send a verification code to your phone, you will be presented with a box to enter the code and an option to resend the code below the box. I would suggest you try resending the code. If you had set up other options for security verification, click Other verification options, and then try again by selecting a different option. Also, make sure that your phone numbers are correct in your user account settings. You can also try using DATA RECOVERY programs if no solution works.

@Nils Use the style manager: Styles -> Document Styles

@vectoradmin , thanks i think i get it. Btw I like that linked thing ! I was thinking of a link in the file that I could use to load another linked file if needed and then found this option.

@b77 I add these to the backlog of feature requests.
